Bluegill
This lake turns on during the prespawn with your chance at 10+ pounders with 5-8s not uncommon due to the abundance of grass. Grass mats are especially key during prespawn; be sure to throw into the grass mats with tx rigs using bluegill imitations as the bass keep the bluegill population pinned against the banks using the grass mats to hold areas and to ambush. It's also ideal to throw quarter oz swimjigs and chatterbaits on and over the grass mats...dragging them over in some instances and letting them fall into pockets. This lake also holds a healthy threadfin shad population.

Afternoon fishing after a cold front rolled through. Decided to go BFS to target bass and bluegill. Fishing was rough, tiny swim baits and creature baits mimicked the forage for late “winter” in Texas. Casting along the bank and reeling painfully slow was effective. Most bites came from the edge or submerged vegetation. I ran a Metanium MGL with the KKR BFS reel. I highly recommend it if it’s in your price range. However, the curado BFS is a great starter BFS reel for the money. The Sierra Ultra Finesse rod pairs great with it, and I was able to easily launch 1/16oz baits out.

Fished slowly along the matted grass in shallow water to trigger the spawner/pre-spawners. Downsize your bait to 3" or even smaller if possible. They were chasing the smaller baits, but anything over 3.75" didn't get any attention. Another outing with the Shimano Mastiff line. I'm really enjoying the castability and versatility of this line. The 16lb line performed well on light gear, though I would recommend going with the 8lb instead!

Night fishing under a full moon. Water was very calm. Thought it would be prime time for some topwater. Action was largely dead for a few hours. Suddenly the action picked up around 11:00 PM, including the one pictured. Blew up the whopper plopper and put up a good fight. Respectable fish!
