Weekend on Fork with a Moonpie

Posted by ken on July 13, 2014

Fork sat.jpgSpent the weekend on Fork with Steve "Moonpie" Evans, overall really tough on us. No matter how hard we tried we could not get any fish to rise to a bait on a consistent basis. There were, believe it or not in July, some spinnerbait fish to be caught, but overall we had our best success catching suspended fish. I think the BassChamps results reflected that Fork was tough on us all this weekend as it only took 4.94 on a 3 fish tournament with 189 teams to cash a check. From the results it looked like 10 fish over were caught, which does seem a fair number for 350 fisherman, but less than sixty 3 fish limits caught. And by the way, congrats to two guys, don't know them, Jesse and Jeremy Flake, from North Zulch Tx, for weighing 3 keepers that weighed a grand total of 1.46 lbs... unfortunately there are no photos on the website of that stringer.

I don't get to the lake every weekend and since I wasn't on Rayburn weekend before the 4th I got an update from my buddy Bryan O'Conner from Cypress who was ok with me sharing it here. Thanks Bryan!


Finally Old Guy Buttons

Posted by ken on July 1, 2014

I have always hated that I couldn't trim my motor up and down or deploy my Power Poles with my foot (hand's are kinda busy up here). Finally the JL Marine folks fixed the problem with new buttons where I can deploy the Power Poles even with rain boots on. Top that off they have old guy readable arrows on them, ordering mine today!power_pole.gif


Saturday on Cedar Creek

Posted by ken on June 29, 2014

Spent the day yesterday on Cedar Creek with my buddy Skip Chancellor. Couple of observations, a sustained 20+mph wind out of the south on a lake that is nothing but retaining walls can get a smidge rough. A Z520 Ranger is one big a...well one big boat, and if you're going to be out in that kind of wind and rough water I don't know that you could be in a better ride. I would say overall the fishing was tough, lake looks to be in good shape but we fished 5-6 spots and really only got bit on 2 of them. Saw a club tournament weigh in as we came off the water and although it took over 20 to win, there were lots of 2-3 fish bags. We caught a fair number of fish, probably could have weighed something in the low teens, most of our fish came cranking docks and a couple off wood on a shakey head. Wish I had a better report but the wind really limited our running around and some of my favorite spots on the main lake. Water temp in the mid 80's.
