this was about 2 weeks ago, windy during the day then it went still at dusk, I was pitching the phantom out about 15' & burning it back, the follows and short strikes were a rush to watch, lost about a 7#er right at the shore, I watched her come from the depths and inhale the bait. Once the sun began to dip it went wide open on topwater, I counted 4 blowups on one retrieve and several casts with 2

      They aren't drained completely. About 3 ft low which takes a lot of water out of the ponds. The banks and flats are exposed right now

      10-4 do you know what they do with the fish if anything when they drain the pond? @Jimmy_Lynch

      Let the ponds get filled up again and the fish get their heads straight on what they are gonna do and it would be worth the drive to come out

      It's been rough. My main ponds are drained for maintenance. And other ponds are on that weird post spawn/summer pattern.

      Right on, think I'll be making a Katy trip here in the next couple days, how is it out there lately? @Jimmy_Lynch

      It could possibly happen. Chris from serious tackle/strike pro has a few things I need to pick up so I'll be down there soon

      Whatever pond this was out of sounds incredible! That 7lber is a shame too!

      Or 3 blowups. I had fish going completely airborne, they were so aggressive that they just kept missing the bait, I caught 5 fish in this 20 minute window with about ...more 50 strikes. My heart was racing!
