Texas Rigged a Deps Cover Scat on long casts over one of the few chunk rock areas on the lake. Bite was slow until I put the Scat on, let it sink plenty and soak 15-20 seconds, twitch back to boat. First cast - 20 incher.

Its a reallyfun time to be out on whaletail. Look for big weed clumps. Close to deep water is better. Get some heavy braid and a big jig. Its not a numbers game,but size is great.

Water temps are heating up. Covering water along the shore lines in 5-6 feet of water produced the most bites using a weightless Texas Rig.
