Long time lurker, first time poster.
I hit lake Georgetown yesterday @ 6am and started at my go to spot by Jim Hogg, caught a Gtown dink on asammy right off, but nothing much after that. Then I moved up past the camp grounds to the flats right by the main channel.
Bass started chasing shad (around 7:45 am), so I put on a spinner bait and started burning it across the water. Caught a few with one good one, but the most were dinks.
I then started to put the rod down and head to another spot when the water exploded all around me. I had never seen this on Gtown. By the time I had picked my rod back up and turned to cast the school had moved just out of range, but I threw any way. Bam! I was rewarded with a solid fight. I still didn't know if it was a LMB or a white bass, but it put up a heck of a fight. By the time I got it to the boat it had straightened out my spinner bait and turned out to be a rather large white bass. It was really solid, I'm guessing 2 to 3lbs which is the largest I have personally caught. I don't care, it was the most fun I've had out a Gtown for a while.
The schooling action moved into the main lake and I tried chasing them for about ten more minutes and caught on more tiny one.
I spent the rest of the morning trying out new spots I had never fished before.
The skiers and wake boarders didn't really hit the lake until about 10, so it was pretty quiet out there.
