Is the concrete water tower sticking up yet towards the end of Calliham point? I think it’s visible at 28’ low.
. This was before water turned brown. It's pretty close to the bank so hard to hit.

Yep, I saw that today also. Water is muddy and low. At least half way from Calliham to the dam, didn't go all the way.

I'm pretty sure those big fish in 2009 made Bass Champs change their weigh in practice as some of those big fish did not survive being in a livewell all day. Kind of funny reading all the guesses on what depth and how those big fish were caught.

Just got back from half a day there. One bite and it broke off. Fought like a big cat and did not take long to wrap me and break 15lb big game. 25 foot in trees just off the river is all I can report/

I think the fishing was even better in the early 90s. I caught a ton of big fish just going out there and wade fishing back then. I would park at the Daughtery boat ramp and usually wade toward the San Miguel. Caught a lot of really big fish doing that. Also the duck hunting was world class back then because very few people hunted there and the number of ducks was just ridiculous. The fishing was very good around 2009 but it was different. The fishing up the rivers was not nearly as good, but really good on the main lake.

Crazy how neither Choke or Mathis caught any water from that flood.

Are you sure the Nueces river doesn't flow into Lake Mathis?
