    I forced myself off shore and spent most of my time at 25feet. I've been hunting down one of Bullard's legendary huge spots and came as close as ever, hooking into a massive, rod bending, line stripping slab, that I sadly wasn't able to land. So I had to settle for some 1.5-2 pounders. But another beautiful day on my favorite lake. In talking with some guys at the dock on my way in, it sounds like I should have moved even further out to the 40 foot depth. Next week...

    Finally! After 3 weekends in a row that got wiped out by heavy rain storms we've had in the area, the sun came out and we went fishing! Went to New Bullard's Bar Reservoir in search of some of it's massive Spotted Bass. And although we never hooked into one of those, check out the "Pink" bass that grabbed a spoon at about 70 feet deep. Anyone out there ever seen anything like this? The photo has not been altered (or I would have gotten rid of the grumpy look on my son's face) and it truly was a bright pink color.

    Beautiful day out on my favorite lake. It was a little tougher to pull them in than I thought it would be. But Bullards doesn't disappoint. I had some pretty good success with a drop shot. The 6th Sense Glitch is amazing in the water. I was focusing off shore from points in about 20-30 feet of water. I think I could have caught more if I had moved closer to shore....but I'm still hunting some of those elusive monster spotties and I'm told you need stay in a little deeper water this time of year to hook into one of those.
