For reasons unbeknownst to me I am in a terrible funk. It has gotten so bad that my 4 year old told me yesterday "Daddy, we never catch any fish". I think I have caught 5 fish in the last 5 trips...with several skunks mixed in. I think the primary reason is my honey hole, Grapevine, has been flooded out. However, I have been fishing Lewisville some and it hasn't paid out much recently. I have caught a lot of fish at Lewisville in the past. The weather has been pretty bad recently and I am sure it has some impact...but I take responsibility for this one.
The bad luck isn't just limited to catching fish. I have had boat problems as well. I have blew out a trailer hub recently and yesterday my cranking battery was dead at the ramp.
The good news is I have seen a few good reports recently so hopefully my luck will change. I am just wondering if me (and my kids) are the only ones suffering through a run of bad luck?

I think you're right about GV, just when I start to figure out something we get another flood. With the water being +20' that has had the bait in water 25-30' with a lot of weeds and brush and the last couple times I was out there they were still pretty scattered making bait hard for me to catch. GV is a mess right now.
I've never been good, But I've been Lucky! I don't Lie or Exaggerate, but sometimes I remember BIG!

I have also had a dead cranking battery and blew a hub in the last month. I feel your pain. This has been a strange year with all of the weather and rain. I'm ready for the weather to stabilize and improve the fishing.

GV is a mess right now. I haven't been fishing Gvine since the last flood. During the 2 months it was somewhat close to normal I did pretty well. Since the flood I have fished Lewisville, Eagle Mountain, Worth, Benbrook.

For a $1000 I will tell you where to go and catch fish. No refunds though if you don't catch anything:)
From Genesis: "And God promised men that good and obedient wives would be found in all corners of the earth."
Then He made the earth round...and He laughed and laughed and laughed!

Not just you, it has sucked lately on the lower Guadalupe River.
My personal best is still swimming out there just getting bigger. One of these days I will quit feeding it.
