Blue Skeeter (Chris) and I got on the lake around 5:30 am. Ran up to Quinlin Park area before the sun came up and managed one keeper on a top water bait right at day brake. Moved on up the lake around the buoys and caught a few more dinks on top water baits around the rocks. Went further up the lake and Chris saw a nice bass swimming around, threw to it and caught it on a shaky head rattle snake. Now we are back tracking and fishing everything we can. We managed to pick up one more keeper and several more dinks. We fished for 8-½ to 9 hours and came up with a total of nine fish, three keepers and six dinks. Very slow day for sure. The weather was nice; the ski boats were out in numbers to say the least, but over all we had a pretty good time.

Towards the end of our trip as we were approaching the boat ramp, Chris looked at me and said, well we put in a good day on this lake, and did you learn anything new about it? Unfortunately I told him no. I told him that I knew just as much now as I did when we first got started. I say that, but heck we did find a few new places to fish. But the truth be told, we still have not found what I would call a good honey hole as of yet. In fact, I’m really beginning to wonder if there is such a place.

I think some of these guys know where the honey holes are. ;D

We were out on the 16th also, started south of the 360 ramp before daylight. After reading and talking about this lake we decided to do what Airfob had suggested and do a milk run. If we stopped and didn't get bit in 15 to 20 minutes we moved on. Proved to be a good idea as we boated around 12 fish with 9 keepers. Probably the biggest 2 were around 3 to 3.5lbs best 5 were maybe 12lbs. Still nothing huge for us but a real nice day until 10 am or so when the ski boats came out. I had 2 come no more than 20 ft from us. One plowing the water so the guy could surf actually waved at us when he went by (nice of him). The other with a 15 to 17 year old asswipe who was thinking of spraying us until he decided better of it at the last minute. I have decided not to let them ruin my day and it is just part of fishing Austin. Also caught a perch on a rattle snake that was as big as a crappie! All fish caught on spinnerbaits, crankbaits, crawworms and rattlesnakes.
