Did anyone throw a rattle trap bait? I am wondering because on Ansin Garcia that bait is slaying them now. Gold seemingly the best color option at this time.
Thanks for the report.

It was a tough weekend, the wind blew like a small hurricane. I fished the BASS Weekend Series out of Camp Mack as a non-boater on Sunday.
I finished 8th out of 41, respectable finish, but it is not that I set the water on fire, the other anglers just did not get the bites. I threw all the baits you mentioned in the previous posts. For me it seemed the only thing that worked was a watermelon zoom speed worm crawled over the tops of the hydrilla and pockets. We fished in 6 to 8 foot depths with the hydrilla topping out in the 7ft range. I believe my co-angler caught one on a Fluke and another on a Senko. We both limited out and culled. Just no real size. My big fish was 3lbs (OK just shy of 3lbs).
Shannon, where are you fishing this weekend? I will probably fish the ABA events on Saturday out of Cypress and Sunday out of Toho. Anybody out there got any honeyholes they want to share?
All in all a very tough day on the water, but still a hoot. Especially when I remember our buddies up north having to dig holes in the ice and watching the ESPN weekend reruns for a fix and trying to figure out how to be the next Rod and Wheels guys ;D (sorry could not resist - bases on another post I read earlier >

)Yep, Luck to both Fish4 and Shannon this weekend. Looks like the weather will hold for us this weekend. Low in the 50's (doggone that is cold imonembad ) with highs in the mid 70's.
Shannon, Kissimmee look to be down at least 4 to 6 feet. You could feel the boat scraping bottom leaving Mack's. When I pre-fished the week before, I was on plane in the pig-trail and the Garmin shallow water alarm went off, and I found myself in about a foot and half of water. No way to come off plane and made it in and out w/o incident.
I talked with a guy last week that fished Cypress and he said the water was very low. But I could have swore he said he ran from city park down to Kissimmee.
Thanks for the Cypress info, I have never seen this lake, so it should be interesting.
tight lines everyone
