Big Blue

So here is what is going on for me on the big blue.  The weather has been stable for the last few days and is predicted to remain that way.  Air temps are rising into the low 90s in the afternoon and minimal cloud cover.  Winds have been gusty out of the SE just about every day approaching 10 to 15 sustained with maybe 20 mph gusts.  Water temps are holding pretty steady where I have been fishing in the mid 70s and of course it is about as clear as you could ever expect.  What I have been trying to do is find the deepest grass I can which is way up river in 30 to 35 ft of water and also in proximity of creek channel intersections, pretty textbook huh.  Boat control is a bit tough with gusty winds but marker buoys help for points of reference.  It is kind of go grind it out on main lake spots hoping a fraction of your casts make it into the strike zone.  The fish are there and they are eating bluegill imitation Omega 1oz promega jigs with a swimbait trailer, senko style and plum ol monster worms.  It is pretty hard to detect the strikes sometimes that deep in the wind but swimming the jig and kinda stroking it when it loads up with grass is somewhat easier, reaction strike I suppose.  The big girls are still kinda absent, best fish this trip would be a pair of 6s and an 8 and that is pretty weak for Amistad but I really have nothing to compare it to as this is my first visit.  On we go, event starts tomorrow and well, I am headed to the water.
