Eagle Mountain 6-20-11

Had first time guests Jeanette and her husband out for a windy yet beautiful morning on Eagle Mountain Lake.  When I got to the lake the gusts were 42mph out of the SE and the lake was rolling.  I picked them up at their dock at 6:00 and they were ready to go.  We hugged the south shoreline and marked fish on a hump at 22-25ft deep.  The fish were just gill slapping and pecking the lures making hook-ups difficult.  We managed 17 in the box before moving on to another hump picking up another dozen there.  I decided to hit a point in 7ft of water and it was loaded with 6-8 inch fish...not what we were after so we headed back to the humps and found them in the exact spot I left them on Saturday and this group was willing to bite and we finished out our limits there.  All fish caught on Ole Ugly Slabs and flies by Flies By Night.  Water temp was 82-84 wind 25-35 SE with gusts to mid 40's.
