Just came off of the Houston 8-acre pond. Bright, sunny, Bluebird day. Not what I usually consider a fish catching day....except here on this pond.
As long as I kept working the shadows from the overhanging trees, I swear I had a fish on every couple of minutes or so.
I crush the hook's barb most of the time on this lake, so I probably only landed 8 or 10. I'm pretty much the ONLY person who fishes this lake with any regularity, and that is only when we are here in Texas. I never catch much of anything over a 1-lb or so LM Bass, but they give me a great fight and it is a unique experience.
Once a year or so, I will drop a worm or other lure right onto the nose of a big catfish, purely by accident. They can go 5 or 6 lbs, I'd guess. THAT is a tussle, given my fairly lightweight rod and line. Back when I used my kayak, the cats would give me a "sleigh ride".
