Stockon report 5/17

[waterpossum]

Put in at State Park 9 a.m. and bass fished till 4 p.m. I was using a watermelon brush hog and partner a shakey head with purple worm. With the wind blowing a gale we tried to find the protected areas in Price Branch and SW cuts on the main lake. The bite was slow, but just often enough to keep it interesting. He caught more on the shakey head than I did on the Brush Hog. Total bass around 15 that included 5 keepers and 4 small Smallmouth. Around 11 a.m. we were about halfway back in Price Branch about 400-500 yards west of the road bed that crosses back there. I was fishing and he said " did you see that vehicle enter the water on the on the south bank" I thought it another one of his pranks, but sure enough there was what we could only determine at that distance was one of those amphibious duck boats. In front of the boat you could make out about 5-6 heads swimming across the lake. We concluded that it had to be somebody driving some hogs through the water, but there were no shots fired which I would assume the Conservation Dept would do. I was going to motor back to satisfy my curiosity, but when I motored out to the middle they were gone. At the next bass weigh in I promise to take a lie detector test to confirm this report. I apologize to the women if in fact what I saw was the second leg of one of those triathlon's where you bike, swim and run a race.

How did you have the brush hog rigged? Thanks for the report! Was there any type of area that seemed better?

Texas rigged. Water is supper clear. No real set pattern other than most were 12-15' deep. I did not do much good in the back half of the coves,
