Had a trip out to Lake Possum Kingdom airport, we were scheduled to be on the ground for 3 or 4 hours, so I took the rod and reel. This turned out to be a good call because I was able to find a nice area with some shore line and a large dock near a neighborhood called "The Ranch". Honestly, I didn't expect to come up with much, this lake has been hit really hard with a Golden Algae bloom this year (the same thing that has hurt the fishing in Granbury). I read a report recently that it had killed thousands of fish, mostly bait fish, but bass have also been affected. Plus it was the middle of the afternoon with not a cloud in the sky. But, I was pleasantly surprised when I found a school of small sand bass in about 25 ft of water off the end of the dock. So for about an hour, I had some fun with my light action two piece spinning rig I take with me always on the road. The lure was the trusty "Granbury Special" as I have always called it...( white plastic grub with a spinner). Total catch... I think 9 or 10.
