fished from mud creek down to waterfront last week, from inches of water to 12&#39; deep. most fish caught in 2-4 ft of water in grass on traps...color doesnt seem to be that big of a deal. the deeper fish come off of jigs, not as many bites and honestly all the fish in the pictures came from traps. everyday during the week, we had a limit anywhere from 20-25lbs with a big fish all three days...except for friday which our best five was around 14-15lbs... friday, i borrowed triton carl from bprice because all my buddies bailed due to storms.... we covered a lot of water and new water trying to find some fish for a tx the next day.... without much luck.. i guess we caught 20 or more fish with a handful of keepers and only one good fish which was a 5lber off of a trap... we both had a good fish pull of that we didnt get to see, and i stuck a 15lb drum on a jig which at first i thought was another donkey....lol....<br /><br />fished mvc saturday and i had found some good fish on a creek channel bend on thursday and they were still there except they had shrunk.... we caught 5 limits of fish in there but could only manage to muster up a little less than 17lbs which was good enough to get our money back.... we left the fish and went chunking and winding a trap and had our chances, but it was just one of those days.... we let off 4 fish that would have helped.. all of them barely hooked and shook off about 10ft from boat.... <br />dont know if they werent eating well or if it was just one of those days for us.... <br /><br />anyway, back to work in the morning.... <br /><br />tritoncarl,<br /><br /> enjoyed sharing the boat with you, wish we could have got on some better fish throughout the day.... i guess thats fishing.. we will have to do it again one day.
