I heard Lavon was Fishing pretty good.

Lake Lavon went up almost 4 feet Saturday and this morning is just shy of being 1 ft above normal level.
That is a 6 foot rise since low point on September 3.

About to be game on!

Hammered them today off the bank (sandies)! Fished alittle bit with another tff local! It was on fire! I can�t remember his name for nothing?! Hopefully he will see this.. anyways.. he had nice basket to take home! Lake is way uuuup! Water is still super warm.. lots of bait close to bank =pescados! Even with the north wind! I used cut shad mostly on bottom.. bounced back to me.. double hook rig on a 3/4 oz bell weight. Seemed to catch bigger fish on bottom getn scraps while smaller fish sporadically chasing shad at top!

No bueno today!? Lake is steady rising.. water is not stained at all off the banks I�m targeting.. still pretty warm...
I kind of figured with no wind=no pescados! 6pm- 8ish time frame

Fished around the Railroad Bridge near Lavonia park.
Got a late start so did not get out to bridge till sunset and stayed till about 9:30.
Caught one white bass paddling out on storm minnow.
No bites on Shrimp for cats or Gulp minnows on jig.
Tried top water around trees near shore on way back nothing interested.
Lots more water here than earlier in the summer.
COE report shows up 7 feet from low start of September.

I have only seen 1 or 2 boats here before, there were 5-6 when I got to the park tonight.

Hit em pretty good today from 4-7pm (glasshouse area) lots of small sandies but left with 23 nice ones..
Cordell casting spoon with jig was $!

Crappie are definitely hitting on submerged timber. Caught a couple dozen yesterday with my fishin buddy

Fished Mallard Park for a little over 2.5 hours tonight in the trees out from boast ramp and swim beach.
Water in this part of cove was 15-17 feet deep.
I only saw 4 maybe 5 fish on the finder.
No bites on shrimp and I could also not find any perch for bait using worms along brush near shore or in flooded trees.
A couple other anglers had similar results tonight one in same area the other fishing flooded timber further towards the bridge where starts to narrow.

When I came in, boat was covered with some thick slimy substance.
Had to scrub it off the kayak with a brush.
Anyone have an idea what this was?

Did the sludge look anything like this? This was from 5 months ago but it could be happening again.

Most of the time on the lake it was dark, I never saw anything in the lake.
Stuff had the consistency of jelly and slick as oil.
I do not remember a bad smell.

Fished between Lavonia South and the dam tonight.
Tried to find some perch along shore, flooded trees, flooded grass, no luck.
Tried for catfish with shrimp on one pole and 1/2 perch on another. No luck
Fished contour changes, then drifted back in 15-20 feet of water. Fished flooded bushes, and rip rap near the ramp.

Did catch 3 catfish 4, 5 and 8 inches while looking for perch.
My catfish drought is ended although not how I was hoping it would be.

Very little wind, a little moonlight and only saw one boat which was coming in as I was setting out.
Another beautiful night on the lake all to myself.
Best of all, no slime tonight.

I saw a yak on the southeast corner of the dam last night around 6-6:30 I think, thought about saying hi. Was cruising around scanning for brush and submerged timber. Hopefully can lock into some crappie this weekend if the rain holds off. Fished sporadically while scanning yesterday, not pulling up much. Did find one pile though that was LOADED, caught 5 quick and moved on.

Fished out of Collin Park this morning.
Had no bites when fishing the trees with shrimp, worms, Storm minnows or berkly fake minnow on jig head.
Tried to find some perch for jug lines but could not find any.
Caught a handful of meal size channel cats drifting jugs baited with shrimp.
Nice to be on the catching side again.

Bass fished yesterday morning in the wind, 0 bites, saw shad popping everywhere. The pup had a good time though, was a beautiful morning on the lake despite the lack of fish.
