WHO I FISHED WITH: Today I fished with Mr. Kenn Renner, his son and daughter-in-law, Justin and Ariana Renner, and Kenn’s father-in-law, George Walter. Thanks to an incredibly aggressive feed in the morning, this evening’s action was pretty subdued, but, we celebrated a few firsts and personal bests with the nearly 40 fish we landed. At age 78, George landed the first fish of his life, and, at age 20, Ariana also landed the first fish of her life. Justin landed the largest fish he’d ever landed, and everyone caught more fish on this trip than they’d ever caught before.

Although white bass are the “staple” for this time of year, we also landed hybrid, largemouth bass, and freshwater drum. From left: Justin and Ariana Renner, George Walter, and Kenn Renner.
WHAT WE FISHED FOR: This was a multi-species trip focused on white bass.
WHERE WE FISHED: Lake Belton
WHEN WE FISHED: Tuesday evening, 14 November 2017
HOW WE FISHED: Fishing was tough this evening. Instead of finding large, bottom-hugging schools of white bass in a feeding posture, every area I checked had only a sprinkling of fish, if that. We got slabs down when we saw action and “picked” at them, a few at a time. Right at last light we got right under some helpful gulls which helped us put our last 4 fish in the boat. All fish caught were caught on 3/8 oz. slabs.
