Well, when you hook every single fish in the lake, you tend to encounter more than one species...

Nice video Rodney. Solo fishing is sometimes the best. It is your schedule, your decision where / how to fish etc.

As for Hicks Lake, how is the parking by the launch? I would not mind taking my tinny up there on the trailer if there is enough room to park both the truck and trailer.

There is a large lot by launch reserved for truck/trailers

I liked this video Rod. Maybe you mentioned it in the video, but what float were you using and what size hook do you recommend with the bait you were using?

In this video, I was using Owner Hooks' new "No Escape" barbless hooks, size 4. Anything smaller I find these fish would just swallow the hook too deeply. I use a Drennan Piker float, the smallest size, 7 grams I think.
