i'll be on the look out for your rig next time i am out there. congrats on the guide service. are the striper actively schooling and hitting tops yet?

I cant wait to get on the lake for a week with you JC, I will be there this weekend.

I'm taking a trip to Amistad the next 3 days after Christmas...any suggestions as to what I should do?? Only fished it in the spring.

Kevin,
Last year around that time, with water temps around 55-59 degrees, Dead sticking senkos & flukes in 15ft-25ft. Also fishing ledges/drop-offs with bushes and grass present with dd22's, & staycees. Mainlake flats located on points or adjascent to creeks with grass and or bushes & trees seemed to be the ticket. Hope this helps!!! Good Luck & Great Fishing

Water temp was 52 today

The water temp is already 52 there? Crazy, some of the lakes up here in the Metroplex haven't even reached 52 degrees...

my brother just called from tims ford lake in tennessee and the water was in the low 50's. hmmmm!

Water temp today made it to 55, fishing is tough with the cold front that moved in down here. Its suppoded to get up to 70 tomorrow, hopefully the bite will turn on.

where are the pictured bass chump? tried calling you but your out of area. will give you a call next week.

I dont have any good news for yall, the fishing is tough. You may only get 5 bites, but there good bites. No big fish yet, unless you call 7 pounders big fish.

Yes, I call 7 pounders big fish!

anymore updates?

Hey All, I have had the pleasure if fishing with a big stick, Bass_Chump. The weather could not be worse this week. we have had three cold fronts back to back and that has created a tough bite. Todays temp was only 42 with rain. We have managed to catch some smaller fish on each day to make small limits averaging like 12 to 16lbs. no huge numbers and only one day of this week with a shot at catching some bigger fish. On Wed, we had one 7lbs and lost another about the same size,and averaged a 21lb stringer. Chump says maybe bigger either way they don't count unless they're in the boat! I will post the one pic of the 7lb tomorrow. I wish I had a better report to give ya'll, but I believe in being honest and realistic. Nobody finds them all the time.

Thanks Amistad Man, I am going to be there Sunday. I think the temp is supposed to get into the sixties and hopefully the fishing will pick up.
