As we neared the shoals area just below the Highway 80 Bridge east of Chunky, we eased the anchor out and began fishing. Although the water was unusually muddy and turbulent for this time of year, I cast a crawfish-colored Bomber Mini A onto the rocky shoals, and a nice spotted bass promptly nailed it. […]

Weather can kill people in boats and be downright sneaky while doing it. When fishing Lake Tawakoni in East Texas, for instance, I remember how blue northers would slide by just clear of the west side of the lake, like they were going to miss us, and then circle around to come north right over the dam and hit the lake.
