Lake Falcon Trip Day 1

For the last ten years, we have been going to Texas to fish Lake Falcon with Tommy Law at falconlakeguide.com. It is a 16 hour drive there, but it has always been worth it and not just because of the fishing but hanging out with our friends. It has been a wish for me to share the Lake Falcon experience with my boys, so it was time.  I have been putting it off since they were 7 years old. But, I told them they needed to learn how to use a baitcaster, and I spent the last year teaching them how. It would be their first Bass Guide trip, and I knew who to pick to guide us. Tommy is one of the best. He always put us on fish and teaches us something different everytime. Also, they make us feel like family when we are there. We would be spending two days on the water. I was really hoping for the twins to break their Personnel Best.  When you take kids fishing, you need to just catch as many fish as you can and maybe on the way catch their Personnel Best.

Day #1

It was a cloudy morning with wind. Tommy had a couple of square bill crankbaits spots, and we started on some shallow points with deep water nearby. Melissa would loose a big fish that we never did get to see, and that would be the theme of the day. We just couldn’t get any of the big fish to the boat. We caught 52 fish by noon. Then, we decided to spend the next couple of hours looking for big fish. Kyle and Nick would have their shots, but the fish would come off the hook next to the boat. It got really hot with a temperature of about 105 with no wind. The twins were beat, but they kept at it. So, the last two hours we just went back to catching fish. We would end the day with 78 fish.

Day #2 will be on the next blog!!!
