Well I am back from another one of those long Army trips and it's great to be on the water again. But when I thought I had the lakes somewhat figured out before I left, I came back to summer conditions. I've been beating up grass with plastics, and squarebills or red eye shads over top the grass and had no luck. I have old electronics so deep water is very iffy. I can find drop offs, but it's hard to find anything else below the surface aside from depth changes. Maybe revert to pitching the wood with wacky rigs? Drop shotting has yet to pay off as well due to the lack of electronics to find a spot that can produce. Any and all info is appreciated, regardless though I'll be out again next weekend to try and figure these fish out thanks all! (I tend to fish the upper end of the lake, Dana Peak and or the bridge, close to my house is why)

frist of welcome home. I am a DV still house is my favorite bass lake around here the last few times I was there i fished in about 7-12ft using my good old trust 6in chartreuse and pepper zoom lizard that is all i use on that lake and i alsway catch fishing i fishy the island not far from dana peek and alone the far shot around trees all of my fish have alswas fem from that water depth i try to keep the boat in 14ft of water and cast in ward and i fish slow very slow. it may take me 4-6 cast in the same small area but i alway catch fish if you ever wont someone to go with pm me since i am disabled and retired i dont work i spend my days making and selling catfish bait I live in cove

Thank you chem I may have to take you up on that sometime. Great info too!

Welcome home. Thank you for your service and good luck fishing.

Welcome back. I was out there yesterday. It has been tough lately. caught a couple on buzzbaits early but nothing after it warmed up. It's been so hot lately.

Hate to say it but deep is the only place I can get bit on Belton and Stillhouse. Thermocline was round 40 feet fish where between 25-40 foot tons of them suspended too. Even at night the bites been deep. If you can get down there during the week lake Austin is probably going to produce the best shallow bite of all the lakes round here if you can deal with pleasure boat wakes. Was there this weekend and caught a bunch up shallow (round 4 ft) some donkeys mixed in too.

Welcome back. I am by far not an expert on Still house and have only been a couple of times in last few weeks. I struggled all day the first time trying a little of everything then went to Jigging.... The 2nd trip out was a little better. 40' deep or deeper and punch through the grass if you have to. If your not up to the Jig break out the Texas rig worm and Good Luck. About the only two ways I have found to get a bite!

I know this has nothing to do with your thread but my son and i picked up several yester day on belton all were fought in 4-6 ft of eater on the green lizard let me know if you want to go I am retired and my wife want let me go by my self afraid i am going to hurt my self or something
