My wife and I were entertaining some friends from Illinois for 4 days and it turns out that our friend is quite a bass fisherman.  His personal best to date was a six pounder and the 9G didn’t disappoint.  He landed a five and a half pounder and then this beauty of a 6 pound 2 ounce fish. 

We caught somewhere around 12 fish total and the winds were just too much for us to handle.  Typical winter baits were the ticket - rattle traps around the brush piles and texas rigs down deep.  We didn’t catch one small fish which was a stark contrast to our previous day out at Welsh.  My friend was having a great time catching these Texas bass but when it started raining, I finally convinced him it was time to leave.  We fished from daylight to 10:45 am.
