Usually, we are just about the ONLY ones on Lake Waco early in the morning or late in the evenings...  So, we don't even look for other fishermen... Rick, Sassy and I were practicing an old  Fisherman Trade (telling stories) while waiting for the next bite when three older guys pulled up next to our vessel.  The only time we have anyone even come close to our ship (USS SASSY) is when the Game Wardens come to socialize... BUT, in this case - these senior fishermen were watching us from a distance and could not figure out what we were doing to be sooo lucky.  We had caught a boat load of 1-3 pounders and they were interested.  I am not a secret keeper - so, I told them about our SUPER SECRET BAIT!  As they were sitting there with us talking - Rick hooked a five pound flat head!  These guys were shocked that such a inexpensive bait would work so well!   It is always good to meet new people and I can honestly say that Fishermen are amongst the most interesting and friendly people you can know.  So, the part of this story that made me think is - I wonder how many times we've been out there having a fishing-good time and people have been watching us from a far...

YOU NEVER KNOW!

Here are a few of the BlueKats and Channel Kats we had in the boat when our new senior friends popped by to learn our Secret.

It was not difficult for them to see that we keep our bait a Secret - we even label it a Secret! If you look close at this picture you can see the processed cheap chicken/pork/beef Secret!

 

Here is the five pound flat head that Rick pulled in... I will have to say that Sassy sniffed us right to  this Honey Hole!

 

Some of you may wonder why I would give the Super Secret Bait information away... I am all for making my self a better fisherman and man do I feel better when I know I am helping someone else have a GREAT time on the water!
