Got to the lake around 7am, landed 2 tucs by noon at the ramp and another 4 between 1:30 and 3:00 in the same spot. My son landed his first fish(also a tuc) ever just after 2:00 at the ramp. We were using fly and bobber. Was a pretty good day, 5th trip to the lake and finally started catching them.[/img]

OK, I'll say try a gold fly (a Lake Wilson classic) but honestly, when they are biting, they'll hit almost anything! Congrats on the Tucs!

I was pretty stoked when that first one hit. Them buggers. Sure do put up a fight even when they are 9in long at most.

Peacock bass are argueably the most agressive freshwater fish in the world. 8)

Roadwarrior I have to disagree with you. Wiper's which are a hybrid of striper and a white bass are the most aggressive. Don't get me wrong I love fishing for Tucs, but when the Wipers are on its a feeding frenzy. I've seen both busting the surface, and Wipers in my opinion beat Tucs out by a little margin. If your ever in the southwest like Arizona, or Colorado I recommend going fishing for Wipers. There are a bunch of videos on Youtube. You should check them out. Now I can only compare Wipers to the Tucs in Hawaii. The ones in South America I have yet to fish for so I can't say say that Wipers are better than them.
