This will be my very first time on the Rayburn. Any information on what to throw for one big bit and what depth of water would be greatly appreciated. Please don't beat me up to bad, if not for people like me willing to donate money these tournaments would not exist.

Funny. Frogs and buzz baits around grass and weeds would be my ticket. Caney,Harvey,Buck,just to name a few. Going to be crowded.

Good Luck. Have Fun, and catch a giant bass.

Lake should rise a couple feet by the weekend, it's already high. Either flip all day or back out and drag a rig around for post spawners

At least he didnt say he was taking his so and so and had to put them on fish.

Rain is going to make it interesting. Definitely going to be on the rise..

The rain will change anything people thought they found this weekend more than likely. Front coming Friday and saturday with North winds and bluebird skies. Might not take much to cash a check. I predict really tough fishing

Get in the water early as the boat ramps will be a major traffic jam!

With that many boats on the water it will still take a 5+ to cash checks most hours. Never fails. A few hours will be less but that's a lot lines in the water and alot of fish where guys will be fishing. It was high last year

Went out Saturday and caught a lot flipping, nothing over 4 pounds though. Had better bites out deep

I like the buzz bait/frog around shore cover early then move and Graph the underwater points and ridges in 12'-28' feet looking for signs of bait and fish, then drag a c-rig brush hog / lizard watermelon red or similar. Look mid-lake area.

+1 on go early! It's a zoo!

Good Luck!

I keep waiting for that "you will be able to walk from boat to boat" comment....

You'll be able to walk from boat to boat!!

Maybe if you bring a pair of stilts!!

Bring your own bush to fish if you plan on fishing shallow...

Good one.
