Fished the BFL today. Not a good day(lost a 3 pound fish at the boat) but it was a good day. Fished as a co-angler. This was the first BFL i have ever fished. What an experience! Started off in little pockets with trees and bushes. Seemed that the areas with bushes and trees were most productive today, although i did catch a couple in areas where there were just trees. Boater picks one up early swimming a jig. We fish these pockets and run to others similar. He has 3 keepers before i get bit. Then i get bit shes a nice 3.5 i caught on a spinnerbait. He ends up culling while im there with one fish(pretty frustrating). Then I'd say around 10 30ish i get another about 3.5 on a spinnerbait. Then a couple minutes later about 15 yards down i miss the 3 pounder(may of been bigger but who knows). Tried to keep her down but she came up and out came my spinnerbait. Then caught another solid 2 to 2.5 a couple minutes later. Then we start back to pockets my spinnerbait bite slows down but i get 2 just over 14 to get my limit. One of those fish had to of been the skinniest fish i have ever seen. Ended the day coming in 6th with 12.14 as my total. Boater had 13.7. Better fish out around secondary points it seemed like.
