Vail lake trips this week

[ART HILL]

Hi Everyone,

I have had several guides trips at Vail Lake this week, and here are some pictures for you to see. The bite has been nothing short of fantastic. The bite has lasted all day, with bass crashing all around the boat on shad. The fish have been caught on topwater, jerkbaits, and crankbaits, all from Ima products. For tomorrow's trip, we are going to throw the Double Diamond swimbaits, from Optimum Bait Company.

Russell Sanders from Atlanta Georgia, fishing with his friend Dave, who lives in San Diego.

They asked me to fish, so who am I to tell them no.

This is what my graph looked like all day, every day. Shad are as thick as concrete.
