Well, channel 5 TV just announced closure of all ramps at Eagle Mountain, Lake Worth and Lake Benbrook ...am sure there is going to be more....looks like the bank fishing and kayaks will prevail during this stuff... Be CAREFUL...(yes sir - good idea on going through tackle and changing hooks and line!) God Bless Lee

I usually get excited by lots of rain and muddy conditions, but this rain is cold. I guess I'll stay home and annoy the wife!

At least it did this at this time of year and not in the middle of spring during the spawn. Once everything settles down and lakes level out or stay up a little... Boy will it be on.... All stages of spring fishing ought to be some of the best we've had in a while!!

It's GREAT right now. I have had some of my biggest/best fishing days of my life lately. I love flipping almost as much as drop shot. And with all the fresh flooded grass and cover, finding the big ones are easier than ever. The water is constantly muddy, so that also narrows down the choices in colors for me too. It's actually almost too easy.
....I had a best 5 on Joe Pool a month ago that was over 26 lbs.<<<<<not known lately for big sacks. ....I had a best 5 on Wax yesterday of around 15lbs. <<<<it has been years since I've gone there and actually caught FIVE KEEPERS! Haha. ....Grapevine was good to me. ....Clark I can catch them till my rotator cuff starts acting up. About 40 fish per trip.
Let it rain, let it rain, let it rain. Also doesn't hurt that my boat is already scratched up, so I WILL take it where others wouldn't dream of.
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

It may make it tough on fishing. But, I will take it for the future of the lakes.

I'm having knee surgery on Tuesday, so regardless I'm fishing tomorrow. Going to stay close to home a hobble along the banks pitching jigs to the grass and weedbeds.
