Decent day on the water and Mrs. RHP finally broke her drought (by listening to me) with two nice 2-lb'ers. Tossing shallow diver and then 6-inch "green" worms. Sorry, I rarely pay attention to the color names. I just grab a bag, decide on color and use it.

Went out to check on the lake house today after the storms and tornado yesterday. Happy to find no damage other than leaves on the ground and to see the lake is up 6 more inches. It is the first time I've ever had to step UP to get in my boat while it was in the water. Hopefully SJRA won't draw it way down again.

Thinking about going out tomorrow. Think Conroe will be worth the trip?

With the water treatment plant open now. The lake level will always fluctuate. (Three to ten feet)They have been trying to drill wells on the north end to keep a steady flow of fresh water in the lake but have only found salt water.

A friend of mine talked to someone that works for the SJRA and he told him that they are only going to be allowed to take 6" of water a year from the lake but who knows the truth

I was out on the lake yesterday afternoon from around 2 til dark. Tried a few new baits with no luck and then whipped out the trusty Carolina Rig and caught some decent fish and had 1 about 6 or 7 lbs shake off at the boat

I went out yesterday too. Caught a 18.5" 3#er and another smaller one. Both on jerk baits. Had some really good strikes on top water frogs late in the afternoon but couldn't buy a bite on worms.

Well today was the exact opposite experience as a couple days ago. Today I couldn't buy a bite on hard plastics of any sort so with about an hour and a half left in my fishing day I swapped over to worms and tried the shallows. Wow what a difference! Caught several small ones on several different worms. None were worth keeping or bragging about but all were fun to catch! Really it kinda made my day go from bad to good. Besides the day was perfect for fishing.

I had every intention to get on the water today. Got the boat ready, engine warming up, drinks stowed and just about to bring out the rods and tackle bag when the phone rings.

Lovin' Wife: "Can you swing by Kroger before dinner and then swing by Penneys and Walmart and pick up a few things?"

Faithful Husband: "Eh, I am literally in the boat about to head out."

Wife: "Well, how long will THAT take?"

Me: "All afternoon, if I'm lucky."

Wife: "Well, what if tell you you'll get lucky tonight if you do this for me?"

Pause.

Wife: "Are you still there, sweetheart?"

She threw in "sweetheart".

Wife: "And a massage?"

Damn.

The fish aren't going anywhere. Sounds like you got the best deal anyway.
I thought about going out too but my wife just started her vacation and I'd rather spend the afternoon here with her and "work" my way to bugging her so much she suggests strongly that I go. At that point who am I to deny my wife? It's always better when she thinks it's her idea anyway!

This morning...Crappie were holding at 15-20 feet down in 19-30 foot of water and were biting lightly. Water temp was about 62 for the morning. Caught 4 around submerged trees and stumps. Water was calm as could be and little to no wind.
Good luck.

I wish I would've gone. Stayed home and watched two very boring movies on Amazon. But on the bright side church service was nice tonight.

Wife and I went out Sunday afternoon and it choppy and chilly but she hadn't been out since before Christmas. We went up past Corinthian Point and got battered by waves and wind but I was catching bass on C-tails in green and reeling them back slow. Poor Mrs. RHP refused to switch from her silver crank bait and didn't get bit once; meanwhile I had boated three in a row. She can be hard-headed (what??) but after seeing my fourth fish, 2-lb, she switched over. By then the bite had moved.

Relocated to a cove inside Weir Creek and she went back to the crank bait- nada. Me? Nailed a 3-lb in two feet of water on the same worm and then had a nice 3-4 lb break me off around a post. By then, Mrs. RHP was pouting, claiming she was freezing. We headed back @ 5pm.

As windy and choppy as it was, I am surprised I got any bites at all.
