forecast was for 70 degrees Friday so I took the day off to go fishing. The forecast changed the night before to mid 50s and I figured I d go anyway. Left the house with the boat at 7am and headed north to Lake Texoma. It was 30 degrees. Launched the boat and headed out of the harbor, as soon as I got on plane I saw birds working and headed over. lots of fish and bait on the screen. Winter technique here is to "deadstick" - you drop a fin S or zoom fluke on 1 oz head straight down and wait for the tap. I thought they were crazy but as soon as i did, i got hits. By 11 am, I had 15 fish in the boat from 4 to 12 lbs, most were around 8. Schoolies, but It was a blast, fish were healthy and fought like hell. water was like glass. the bited died off and went exploring, saw lots of life, most bizarre thing was pelicans, they were all over. great day on the water for Feb 1. today it was 70 and were all in shorts.
One day I have to get the texoma grand slam - striper, largemouth and smallmouth.
