Slot Fish
Bank fished Thursday morning, March 26. It was going slow until the property owner came by and told me "they had been killing them." To which I responded "Great, so tell me where and on what". He got on the phone and the reply said "only on Rattletraps". I knew I must have some in my big box in my truck. And there it was ready to go, a chrome one with black top. It was a visibly well used veteran and may have been in my box for many(?) years. So I drove around to South Lake and started casting away from the East and South banks. I caught 12 on the trap and they keep getting bigger as my day approached noon, but nothing bigger then 2 lbs. Lots of action and fun.
As an aside, it appears the property owner is modifying the banks of both lakes. There was a steady stream of dump trucks and front loaders moving loads of dirt into place. Looks like work in progress. I was just happy to see all this activity.
Stay well.
