Texoma practice

Practice at Texoma has ad its ups and downs.  The Mercury took a dump on me mid week but Jay with tourney support hooked me up with a couple new coils and all seems to be well today, the day before the tournament.  We have had a couple pretty sharp cold fronts move in and out while Ive been here and I think it may have actually helped activate the fish to start moving back and feeding.  Wind is the predominant weather factor, on this lake a 20 mph wind is common and if it sets up north or south this body of water gets bit, like 4-5 foot big and 25 to 30 mph gusts are not that uncommon.  I have been catching some fish this week but my best days have not been on what you would expect, shad imitations but rather jigs in both straight black and watermelon seed with baby brush hog trailers.  Yesterday was my best day and I really just fished by the seat of my pants just going where it looked good, steeper geography and bigger chunk rock.  12 to 14 lbs a day is predicted to win this thing and 9 days  per day is predicted to make the cut so this should key  you in on what size fish are in this lake, oh and did I mention that this is a major striper lake and this puts a lot of competition on the black bass for food.  I will just have to wait and see how tomorrow goes..
