12/2/2011 With water temps dropping into the high 60's big fish finally starting to bite. Caught at least one fish over 8 lbs. each of the last 3 times out. Fish are biting live wild shiners on free lines. On the Butler Chain the fish are outside the grass lines and you catch a number of fish. Artificial bite is a little slow for bigger fish but you can catch some smaller fish up to 4lbs. on flukes and rattle traps when you see them schooling. Great Fishing! Capt.
