So I went to 33 hole this Saturday from about 2PM to 9PM. Caught one LMB on a Rat-L-Trap shortly after arriving and didn't so much as get a bite the rest of the time. Glad to have caught something but overall disappointing. I could see fish jumping often, not sure what kind exactly though. I also noticed a bunch of circular indentations in the mud where the water had receded. I read a post here about people putting barrels full of shad in coves, is that what these indentations are from? They were everywhere. Anyways, for TheChief...the bigger bass I've caught at Floyd Lamb on the upper Pond and a couple 2 pounders or so at the lower pond. Yes the fish there have a really small varying window on when they bite. Otherwise there would be no bass in there at all because of all the greedy fisherman who would take home and eat everything they caught. Right now the bite is usually around 8:30-8:45 PM (after closing I know, shhhh). I have been in the morning and caught a few too with unpredictable times. Rat-L-Traps seem to be the most successful. There's a guy that fishes there often that always catches them off Rat-L-Traps even on the days I catch nothing. I see him catch them around 7-8 PM. Nice guy, has the record for Floyd Lamb at 11 pounds. I switched to braided line recently and haven't been getting the Rat-L-Trap bites. Guessing the type of line might have something to do with it. I've had luck with spooks, but the topwater bite during daylight has seemed to die down for me. I caught my 4 1/2 pounder off a popper though. Also I caught a couple 3 pounders off a black buzzbait as well. Caught a couple 2 pounders or so off a spinnerbait as well. Hope some of this helps. Enjoy.
