Fuck it, weather is not ideal but I am going! If you wait for the perfect conditions you might never go.
Yeah BC, I checked the guide reports but they don't give too much away. But it gives me some ideas as to what baits to bring. GF They have had some rain GF so the water is stained but not dirty. That should help. Heaviest line I have is 15 lbs mono for my worm/spinner bait rod. I have a crankin rod with 10 lbs line for my lipless and crankin rod, a spinning rod with 20 lbs braid and a long 8 lbs. fluoro leader for weightless stickbaits and flukes. then my fav set up, a falcon lowrider custom top water special with a shimano curado 100 series reel and 20 lbs braid. Got soft plastic frogs, poppers and a spook Jr. which I caught an 8 on a couple years ago.
Gonna fish from the boat house for kitty cats at night, smoke cigars and drink brew.
Oh also got a Helix 7 yesterday from a buddy who bought it new 3 years ago and wanted a new helix 15 with mega live. So he sold me the 7 for $100. Not bad. I do not have time to put it on my kayak which is no big deal as Caddo lake is shallow. Average depth where we will be is 3-4'.
I find it hard to pitch and flip from my kayak. That seems to be the best way to catch the big mamas this time of year but I will do my best. Will let y'all know when I get back.
