I truly hope no one believes you. People tell lies because they have something to gain. I certainly have nothing to gain by telling a lie about how I fish, what I have caught fish on or where I have seen fish on Amistad. I am not a guide so I have nothing to gain there.

I sell a few baits on here which are the best I can build like the ones I have won tournaments on; but I make no money on them if you consider the time that it takes to customize one of them. So I have nothing to gain there and have not fished a tournament in almost a year. I try to show a few pictures of some of the fish caught on the baits in recent years so people understand they still will get the job done.

Some of you guys have called me out on the wording of "Major Tournaments" won. A major tournament to me is winning tournaments with $2,000 or more first place. I have fished a few FLW events on Amistad but did not win, place or show so no misconception there. I stopped fishing them because all the Ranger boat owners filled all the spots.

I book a few drive in trips to Mexico and only charge the expense of the trip. I take the hickey on the wear and tear on the truck and boat; so nothing to gain there except getting to go. If they didn't have a good time and catch plenty of bass I will gladly give them 1/3 of their money back which is my part of the trip.

OH and being under the assumption that the mile marker buoys are placed a mile apart is an honest mistake not a lie.

I have a couple of little grass beds that are holding a few, and some ledges in the mouth of the devils.

On a positive note the record low water levels have had one positive to them. I found 2 deep points close together on the main lake that gave up 17 smallmouth over the course of 11 days. no big ones but did have one around 3 or so. It was surprising for me because I have caught a few out of the main lake over the years, and have heard of some occasionally being caught in the main lake, but never like that. I think the record lows may have forced some out of the rivers and into the main lake.

That is interesting -- but make sense-- In all my years at Amistad I can only recall catching a handful of smallies on the main lake.

I have just been reading this thread with humor until now. I can assure you that JC knows more about Amistad than you will ever know. I don't claim to know much about it but even I have caught several smallmouth on the main lake.
You need to learn a little respect and know who you are calling out. JC is the best guide on that lake.

You right you left the "s" off the end of the word make and I read it wrong. Has a lot different meaning when it says "makes sense" instead of "make sense".

9094, thank you for the kind words, I understood what he meant and did not take it negatively. Heck that's the great thing about this sport due to what seems like an overwhelming amount of changing variables we as fisherman face, perfection is unattainable therefore our pursuit of it is never ending !
