Bender and The Bruiser

[Bubba_Bruiser]

Bender and I got to head out yesterday and catch a few fish at Lake Tom Bailey. I didn't keep count but I would guess we had around 15 between #1-3. I would consider this an awesome day on a state lake in MS. We started out the morning looking for a topwater bite, but I guess the fish were still hanging deep from all the tornadoes that came through the day before. And followed by a blue bird sky. The lake is loaded with more wood than Ron Jeremy and they didn't seem to be hanging out in there either. I put down the TW and picked up a new bait from Nemesis (Bender's bait company) and had a fish on the second cast pitching in the pads. I guess that 1 was lost because there was nothing else happening around the bank. We hit a few spots and got on a flat in about 8-10' of water and hammered on them for a few minutes. We fished the area a while and just sort of drifted back towards the ramp and picked up a few more fish. On top of managing a few fish, we got a pretty good sunburn and some good hours of laughing and fishing and managed in the catching department too. Hopefully Bender will get his net back up and post a few pictures from the lake though. And keep an eye out for the craws he has coming out. They made me a believer.
