Anything for a bite!

We tried to make a quick run to the lake yesterday afternoon, but were forced back into the bayous by the wind and brief window due to a 5:30 coach-pitch game.  We made one pass in Cow bayou and never fished anything twice.  We were throwing Ribbits and and black-blue tubes along the outside of the grass in 3-5 feet of water.

We caught a number of small basss, three were Texas legal, a pile of rat reds, and a 6-8 pound striper.  We didn't keep any fish, but 2 or 3 of the reds were slot fish.  The better redfish and the striper ate the tube, but the majority of our fish took the Ribbit off the top in the floating grass.

It was fun just getting bit, but this wind is wearing thin.  Wind or no wind, we will probably go back to Big Lake tomorrow.
