TFO 7'M spinning rod, 8lb Vicious Elite Flouro, Ardent Spinning reel. Fished inside marinas and caught more fish away from docks, most fish came off rock walls inside marinas. Was fishing club event. Foggy overcast conditions, dead slick water, no wind until 2pm. Bite was plentiful on drop shot but the quality was low. 13lbs won the event with a 5+ big bass.

Caught good numbers today, started early catching them in 8-15’ of water throwing an Xzone Ned in green pumpkin on an ewg ned hook. Then moved to the grass and caught a bunch alternating between a 2.8” Keitech in shiner color on the tactical underspin and a 6th sense flat finesse F4 in 4K shad. Anywhere from 10’ of grass to 2’ keeping the baits just off the top of the grass moving them quickly. Nothing big on the day but a bunch of fun catching them on back to back casts.

Fishing was slow on Lake Travis after the cold-front. The bass are starting to migrate to spawning areas. Early in the day I was able to catch a few on a jerkbait along the ledges and skipping jigs under docks. Once it slowed down, I was forced to go with finesse techniques. Drop shots and weightless wacky worms were the most productive. The big ones are out there, but the bites were few and far in between for me.

We were able to catch most of our fish throwing between the windy side docks with moving baits. Got 4th in the tournament.
