The Dogs are a neighborhood menace...the person I fished with has been trying to get the owners to get them locked up for two years or so.

Larry,

  After reading your post I went out to Jackson yesterday.  I landed about a dozen, mostly dinks but 5 were int he 1 lb plus, with the largest being 1.5.  Threw G4 camo tubes, double tail grubs and Senkos - black w/  large silver fleck.  All decent fish were caught very tight to overhanging bushes and trees.  Was a nice time except for the rabid dogs on the dock by the overhanging willow tree.   Looked like a great spot, but couldn't fish it much.  The dogs would jump in the water and go after ya!  I was preparing to smack it with my Flippin Stick when it turned away.

Sounds like a great lake for non-stop action.  Love the day on the lake with a pro format.

Was invited by a resident to fish lake Jackson near Key Center, a small lake filled with wood and lily pads with very tanic water color and loads of Salamanders/ Newts swimming about. .
Here is how it went......

5:20am launched in Lake Jackson and met with Jean, a friend from one of our local hospitals and we trolled to the north side of the lake where the suface temps were 68 degrees and calm.
5:45 we are throwing Strike King Buzzbaits in chart./white and black.......a 1 lb. largemouth blows up on my black buzz. but fails to engage....quick switch to a senko in green pumpkin and it hits immediately and is boated..; 1). 1lb even.
6:01....another 1 lb fish smacks the black buzzbait and this time I have a trailer hook waiting for him!..; 2).1 lb even.

8:15...sun up ans bite slowing.....we start working a drop-off with lots of wood and a school of approx. 10.000 bass fry that are suspended over the wood and toss a texas rigged lizard through the school and it never hits bottom...6). 1 lb.
8:36....same wood area and it happens......"tap...tap"
