Whew! Welcome to Texas, if you dont like the weather just wait a few.
Had a cold front come through last night and didnt get to score on any fish this morning after work.

Scored on 4 festively plump Hybrids in the 5 lbs range. I was fishing under a flood light at night at the end of the Marina dock closest to open water. I got all 4 on a light spinning reel with 6 lbs test and a 1/8th ounce Red head Road Runner Jig with a pearl white solid tube body. It was a blast!

Scored on 3 Hybrids in the 3-4 lbs range and another one in the 6 lbs range that seriously tested the drag and the line! All of these were taken on a Japanese brand knock off of the Yozuri slash bait in the 5 gram weight size. The hooks were mangled after these 4 got finished with it...need new hooks now. It was in a rainbow trout pattern and I will definitely have to watch the store for more in that color pattern! I also took in 2 Sand Bass (aka...Sandies or White Bass depending on what part of the country you live in). I took both of these on the same Road Runner Jig I used the previous night

I tried but I just couldnt get any love. Of course it was 20 plus degrees cooler and a wind from hell out of the north wasnt helping much either. Maybe Thursday will be better...
My boss might have thought he was killing a big bear (long story about the "Good Ol Boy Network) but if he only knew how much FUN I was having at the Marina when I clock out at the end of my shift... When life gives you lemons, you might as well make lemon-aide right? The best part? It aint even spring yet!!! The last time I did a fill in shift at the Marina I ended my shift with a 77 lbs Flathead. So stay tuned as I intend to do that again.
