Night at Herrington

[Cajun78]

Junkie, My advice is to find another lake I know there are alot of people who can catch bass on Herrington, but there are so many shad, its tough when they are eating shad in 80 ft of water in the middle of the lake. From what I have heard, its not taking much weight to win the tourneys at Herrington lately.

I have had the best luck going in the early morning and fishing Rat L Traps around shad schools and points; or even in the middle of the day, fishing with red/blue flake worms texas rigged off the bluff walls. I saw a guy down there last week who threw a buzzbait all day long and had a nice stringer of bass. Said he fished from 8am to 4pm and only threw a buzz. Who knows.

I wish there was another lake as close as Herrington but...... I have been fishing it alot lately 4 to 5 times a week and knowing that there are people that go down there and catch good fish is what keeps driving me to go back to fiqure the lake out or at lease try to understand it better.

Over all my best goto bait is a crankbait on the lake during the day and Jig at night.

It looks like I will be heading down there shortly it is still cheaper to go to the lake then a night at the bar.

Let see, 15-20 lbs each tuesday, friday, and saturday night to win a tournament is not much action... All I know is there was a 1/2 lb of craws in my livewell the last two tournaments.

supersprint, I didnt hear anything like that weight, but I did hear 2nd hand. I heard 5-6 lbs.

Fished a tourny there Saturday night and it took almost 16 lbs to win not bad for 5 fish. Lots of boats had limits so it must not be to bad on herrington at nite.

That is a good sack of fish. That is why I keep going back to fiqure that place out. Seeing these sacks come in like that lets me know that there are fish to be caught.

As much as I hate to say this SuperSprint is right. Some good sacks of fish coming out of the cement pond for several weeks now. Good luck.
