We used to fish behind the dam at Lake Ray Hubbard in the spring, when the flood gates were open.
We had to use flippin' sticks with Abu Garcia bait casting reels and big slabs to get to a drop off on the other side of the channel, where the fish waited for bait to drop down to deeper water. It was a loooong cast to get there.
You always knew when you hung a big striper or hybrid. It felt like you were fouled on the bottom, until your line started to move against the current.
We caught some big fish back there!
Also pi$$ed a lot of people off.
Usually, we were the only two catching fish, as no one else had the gear to cast that far.
