Folks..I get a lot of time off so I'm starting my lure of the day thread..where I fish primarily one lure each morning...and report how it goes..

JULY 6th ..This morning I fished the Horny Toad..from 6:00- 8:00
I felt peace in my heart and was in no hurry..I covered primairly shoreline and some hydrilla flats..My Toad stayed in place the entire time .I was using my President Pfluger on a 7 foot medium Ugly Stick..12 pound Trilene..

6:00 Pit is mirror still no fish are jumping..
6:32..First freak out smack type boil ..did not take the bait
7:20 ..2nd boil ..did not take it
7:25 A turtle grabs it and lets go
STRUCK OUT[8D]

Tomorrow..God willing,I will fish the 3/8 White Rooster Tail...anddrifta rubber worm across my lap likeI used to fish in the 80s ..2 rods at one time..black worm Texas Style or Trick ..not sure... Same spot..which I plan to make a map off Google and post.. ASAP

The Chartrues Green is hydrilla
The Yellow Spots are bass 5 pounds and up I've caught..
the red numbers are the pit's depth
Any suggestions from the pros would be appreciated.


This spot is only 1 of 5 main spots at Saddle Creek I fish..However..one of my best.It would take 4 hours to fish a spinnerbait around this entire area..on the shoreline
