Weekend at Big Lake
 

We had a decent Friday and Saturday at lake but Sunday was not good. A question that is killing is "what changed?". The wind wasn't bad, tide was about the same, bait was there, but what changed? There wasn't near as many boats in the water compared to Friday or Saturday so if anyone can fill me as to what changed I would appreciated it and hopefully the answer to that question will lead to more successful trips for me.


I would like to thank Captain Travis with HRG for Friday- he put us on 30 specs and 4 bull reds. Overall we had a blast so if you read this- THANK YOU..


Also,

To all the guides out there- I tip my hat to you guys. I don't know how you guys get out day in and day out and do this. You guys deal with heat, with inexperienced fisherman, the hang ups, and the ones who don't listen to anything you tell them. Most importantly you guys do it all with out losing your cool and you still manage to make sure everyone enjoys themselves. Thank you guys.

I have 2 more guided trips in a few weeks with "W" so lets do it. I cant wait.

Maybe they all read the fishing etiquette posts on here and decided to give up.

Nice catch btw

There was very little etiquette on the water Saturday. We had guys come into where we were and just drive their boat around in circles. Some guys came almost right up next us and dropped anchor so I threw a line about 5 feet from them and they decided to leave. It was bad out there Saturday.

We were fishing a flat along the bank on the channel Saturday and we had a boat with a direct drive run between us and the bank... we were waving him to go around us on the channel side but he did not heed our advice... he had no clue... ROFL

Nice job Lance.

Fri was good for us also (expect heat )

I didn't fish Sat but Chris and Jake did and it was not great for most on our side , Chris ended up with a nice box of fish but had to work for them .

I fished Sunday and did real good but it was a early bite for me , we had 40 at 7am then finished up around 7:30am picking off a few on another reef

Chris also did good real good early but his bite faded also and they came in not long after that .

Tide seemed to die around 8am Sunday and took longer to start falling than Vs Fri

Saturday was real weak from the chart

See your lunar table.
