I had decided to give Mopac bridge a go as a guy (I met down the Lake) called JD (he recognised me from this website) told me had caught a 35lb out from under Mopac a week or 2 before. Oh quickly do you know why MoPac is called MoPac? Nope you are wrong; it is nothing to do with the railroad, its called MoPac as it Mopacked than any other road in Austin ha! Anyway as I said we could not find any fish the first time around, I always have it set to only show big fish. We did identify a nice little gully no more than 15' out and once you were more than 30' out the bottom is flat at a steady 15' deep. I like structures so I put my left hand rod out to the first bridge strutt and the other two rods out 20 yards apart in this gully. Lots of little runs similar to last week. I use quite large hooks with homeny (mostly) on a short hair on a bolt rig. I am nearly convinced they are buff bites if not turtles. Anyway, I went out for a trip on the kayak and just to the right of me (behind a tree so I could not cast to it ) in this gully there were 3-4 large fish, so I baited up to them and back to where we were fishing. PS we had found we got a lot more of these little bites after we baited up; this trip I had stuck out more bait than my old South of France trips 18 or more years before. In just a few hours we had got through 8kg's of Buckeye Blend 4 tins creamed corn, 3kgs scopex boilies and a tin of hominy. I went round for another trip in the kayak the large Carp were still in the gully moving around slightly though nowhere to where I could cast to. This time there were a couple of large fish to the left of me round about where Billy was fishing.
