Default Hope You Big O Bound People Watched!!!

Just finished watching FLW Outdoors featuring the Big O, and the show was
packed with tons of valueable information.

In case you missed it, let me summarize:
1. This time of year the Southwestern section is best, followed by the Moon
Shine area.

2. Flipping heavy 1-ounce jigs with craw or pork chuck trailers are best
around the weed mats. (Brown mats are better than the green ones -
Southwestern). Spinnerbaits and Lipless cranks are better around Moon Shine
grasses.

3. In the creeks, fish the shallow side if it is cloudy, the deeper side of
creeks if it is sunny.

4. Big O bass perfer clearer water, so if the wind is blowing out of the
north (I guess that is normal this time of year), avoid southern shorelines
where the waves are stirring up the mud. Seek the clear water.

5. The bigger bass like staying in the thicker stuff, and as an example that
was given: if you find a 10-foot mat, flip to the holes in the middle vs the
edges. Use ratlles and just jig it up and down in the same spot - up to a
mintue before pulling it and flipping to the next hole.

6. when working a grass edges, look for the points where the grass is
growing the farthest out and the tips of the V-cuts.

7. 50-pound test is the line of the day. Grass and weeds are so heavy,
without it, you may lose a lot of HEAVY bass.

Oh man, I am forgetting a ton already! It a bitch getting old!
