fishing for 2 hours and landed 29 peacock bass
before he ran out of live bait. The action at
Morgans Point was going strong and he was
headed out again. I told him I would be at the
lake in 1/2 an hour and I'd bring the bait.
(I didn't count on a brush fire closing H-2)
Some 2 1/2 hours later, at a little after 5:00
I met Tommy at the boat ramp.
Passing Boy Scout Island I spotted the
60 Foot marker. (arrow) It's a long way up
to the Full Mark of 80 Feet. (circle) Even
with the water level at the lowest I can
remember... we had no problems launching
the big bass boat.
Tommy, RJ, and I headed for Morgans Pt....
within minutes we were all hooked up...
a triple. Then the action really started.
As fast as a live bait hit the water it was a
hook up.
If you just laid the rod down in the boat
with the live bait dangling in the water...
hook up. It was wild.
RJ was first to land a peacock bass...
I was using 4# test line and both Tommy
and RJ were using 10# test. We would all
hook into a fish.... they would land their fish
re-bait and have another fish on way before
I could get my fish into the boat. Most of
the time they landed 2 to 3 fish to my one.
With every fish he caught, Tommy set a
new "Best day of fishing" record.
Peacock at the end of the rainbow.
After about 10 or 12 fish I was ready to
call it quits. These peacock bass all weighed
in at 2 to 2 1/2 pounds and put up a good
fight on my light spinning tackle. In less
than an hour, Tommy had bested his record
with a total of 53 peacock bass landed and
RJ had a new best of 23 fish.
See, I did catch a fish.
On the way in we passed Blue Boat Pt....
7 little kids were catching like crazy.
Looked like the adults were baiting
hooks and netting fish.
The good old days are here and now....
LOL well im feeling better today. One day i to will catch multiple tucs.. i will post photo's as well. Nice fish guys
There were even a couple of small bust near Morgans, and we saw a bust on our way to Morgan's, but I didn't wanna chance 'um since I knew Morgan's was a sure thing.
