Lake LBJ Fishing Report - March 5, 2016
On the water March 5, 2016 · Lake LBJ · by Bryan Cotter, Texas Hawgs
Started the day off in a spawning area that had some really good fish around it in practice. Took me a while to get my first fish on as I was working the area over with a frog. It was a nice chunk. I worked the area over really well for the first hour and a half before I started working my way out.
I threw my frog over a few lily pads I saw on a small flat and boom, 5 pounder. Nice. I only caught one other one in there for 3 fish to start the day. I then went to an area that was full of grass last year and now it's just mush. I worked a Texas-rigged plastic around the nasty stuff and was able to catch 3 more keepers out of it with what would be my biggest bass of the day at 5.5 lbs. Looking good right now.
I spent the rest of the day looking for beds and catching some off of them to cull up to 17.81 lbs for 2nd place. I could not find any real big ones on beds, only males. I caught a total of 15 and culled 7 times. My main 2 baits were a Ribbit frog and a Zoom fluke stick. Some of the bedding bass were caught on Zoom 6" lizards. Good day on the water.
