Launched out at QP yesterday morning and fished for a few hours. Managed to find a few fish. Caught 2 on a jig (1) 5.5lb spot and a 3lb LMB. I also hooked two on a Swim Bait got the first one in and it weighed 6lbs and lost another when it jumped (5-7lbs). Ive had better days but not recently.

5.5lb spot? Nice! If it was either a Guadalupe or true Kentucky spot, that would have been a lake record. Or were you talking about catching it on a spot remover jig? Sounds like you are disappointed for having a decent day in just a few hours. ??? I'd take that fun anytime. 8)

BT -that sounds like a great morning of fishing. Congrats! That grass up there is thick...I need to learn how to fish it. Have a feeling I'm fishing too fast.

Didn't mean it that way. More like been a little disapointed in my other trips recently. I was quite pleased with this trip.

I looked at the TPWD web site for pictures and discriptions of bass and it looked most like a Guadalupe. I had it in the livewell so I could take a pictures later and put the 6lber in there as well. They looked like totaly different species. I never think records. Not that it wouldn't have been nice. I do have pics from my disposable camera. Hope they turn out. Not spot remover it was caught on a Black Angel jig.

Great then. If that was a Guadalupe, then that would have been a world record and would have beaten Allen's by quite a bit. Can't wait for the picture...

5.5 # Guad! I'd really like to see a photo of that. That's huge! I've never even seen a 3# Guad.

Here's a Lake Austin Guadalupe.  Caught on a SB last summer, early morning near Quinlan.  I think she went 2 1/2 - 3 lbs.

i made it out today from around 1 pm till 4 pm... stuck 8 and all of them were between 3 and 4 1/2 or so... dark clouds in the distance and the boarders sent me packing!

Most of them were twins to this girl.  All caught on one of my homemade stick baits!   ;D

 

[basstrack]

Sorry, misdiagnosis mine or should I say identification. Got the pictures and I must have just imagined the markings being different. Time to shut up and fish.

Nice fish. Went out for a couple of hours and grabbed a few on Topwater with the biggest being a 4lber that looked like he had a prop rake his backside at some point in his life.

Been real quiet lately due to lost fish that have had me fuming. Missed my biggest fish ever hooked from what I could tell yesterday morning. She busted a topwater popper, ripped out about 20ft of drag and then she came unhooked.

Figured it was a bad hookset until I noticed 3 of the 6 hooks on the two trebles were bent straight. I guess she leveraged it somehow even with the drag playing out.

I'll just keep on trying and hopefully I want fall in the water pitching a "Big Boy Fit". ;D

Nice Job Collector on sticking 8 LA hotties.....like you last year, I'm experimenting now with making my own Jigs. Have you converted over to making all your own tackle now? Seems a lot more affordable and you can make what you really want.

Do you change your hooks out?

Man with the cost of gas we gotta have some way to cut costs

You can get a Lurecraft Senko mold for 10 bucks. Then the plastic formula is around 10 bucks, etc, etc. It's cheap!

If you have any question if your fish is a guad, check his tongue. he will have a 1/4 sand paper feeling spot in the middle. I am not sure if that is the case for a spotted bass as well. Anyone know on a spot?

5.5 # Guad!  I'd really like to see a photo of that. That's huge! I've never even seen a 3# Guad.

;D ;D ;D

Yeah, I've caught some 2 lbers in LT... :
But no 5.5 #'s...
