This Report Took Place Over Our  2 Day Trip.On Hidden Springs Lake, Laneville Tx.
Day 1 Conditions Tough, Started Slow Ended Slow
Severe Case Of Lockjaw.
What Few Fish Were Landed Seem To All Be in 4 to 5 foot of water
Near Points With Tree Lay Downs Or Grass
Where They Had Access To Even Deeper Water
No Action On Surface Water At All..
Both Of Us Got Our 1st About 09:30
My First Was The Largest I Caught For The Entire Trip 
Going Just Over 3 LBs After That,  On  Day 1 I Culled Everything Else.. 
Charles Was Having A Little Better Luck As Far As Size And Ended Up With 3 Over Slot
Total Day 1,  7 Fish Each..

Day 2, Conditions Greatly Improved
Arrived To Fog Rolling Across Lake And Total Cloud Cover
More Surface Action Than Previous Day
Looked Very Promising .
Charles Found The Magic Secret
When He Whipped Out His Whopper Plopper
And Instantly Gained Some Major Attention
Hitting The 5 LBs+ Of Of A Grassy Edge In About The 3 Foot Depth,
Not 10 Minutes Later He Lost What Was Even A Bigger Fish At The Boat Trying To Lip her in..
He Proceeded To Catch Several More Off That Grassy Point.
I Arrived And Went To Work On The Opposite Side Of That Cove And Caught Several Over Slot Fish Under Tree Lay Downs..
By This Time Charles Had Moved Over The Side I Was On And Started Working His Whopper Plopper Under A Huge Tree 
That Hung Out Over The Water, I Had Pulled 2 Descent Fish Out Of Earlier.
I Just Happend To Be Looking His Way When
MOBY BASS Exploded Out Of The Water (This Thing Was Huge)
Unfortunatley, The Other Thing I Saw Was Charles’s Bait Go Sailing Over The Top His Head
We Both Cried After That,, Missed Opportunities..
I Had To Leave Early Because Of The Long Drive Back, Charles Stayed A Little Longer So I Don’t Know The Story After This.
Spoke With The Ranch Foreman, He Told Us Fishing Had Been Very Slow For The Past Couple Of Weeks “Figures”
But We Know That There Are Some Big Hidden Treasures On Hidden Springs Along With A Beautiful Piece Of East Texas Piney Woods Property.
We Will Be Back.
