Took fishing buddy Paul with me to RC today. We caught 131: 123 whites, 5 short hybrids, an 18 inch hybrid, a cat and a keeper yellow bass. We caught them in 21 to 24 fow mostly on #2 Mepps but also caught some on #4�s. We found fish in the morning at Windsock Point and in the afternoon at Pelican Island near the landing strip. Thanks to TFFers Gone Fishin�, CenTexan and Txfishbts for their tips on where to find fish.

Yours truly with nice white:

Sounds like a great day Dennis. Weather looks perfect!

Awesome report as usual, Dennis

Good times. Nice fish.

Guess I better stock up on Mepps!!! Awesome catch and great job!

Doesn't seem to matter where you go Dennis. Nice job!

I might add for the benefit of RC locals, we also caught a lot of 7 to 9 inch sandies, which bodes well for the future. Also, at the far edge(toward the open lake) of the dam structures, we saw a lot of fish down slope in 31 to 33 fow that looked like white bass concentration patterns. However, we couldn't get them to take our Mepps that far down, so I couldn't verify they were whites. The only structures we checked were those out from the dam, Windsock and Pelican Island.

Awesome. Getting it done wherever you go!

Looks like you had a really nice day Mr. Christian. Hope I can get a chance to meet you one day & thinks for your many detailed reports you post!

Mr. Christian I am starting to get better at your technique, today 30 ft of water limit of sandbass , couple keeper hybrids, small black bass and 3 gaspergoo . Went from #4 to #2 mepps , thanks again.

Glad to see you having success with the Mepps technique.

I fished Chambers on Friday and was using a slab on a spot where there has been some fish. I didn't mark any but stopped to fish anyways. We started with slabs and caught several under 10". So I decided to throw on the mepps and give it a try. I ended up catching 6 whites and a hybrid all over 14" in the next hour on a rather sluggish day. It was crazy to see how effective it was on the bigger fish. They couldn't resist it.

I decided to order some parts and try my hand and making my own in-line spinner to mock the mepps. They might not be as good but will be cheaper then $5 a pop.


THANK YOU Dennis!!
