I just moved to Navasota and have been fishing Gibbons Creek for about 3 weeks now. I have caught most of my fish on a white bleeding spinnerbait with grub tail trailer. I have caught some on blue chrome ratltraps, as well as watermelon seed paddle tail worms texas rigged. about 1 week ago I went right before the front came in and caught 9 fish none were under 4lbs all were in about 2 feet of water biggest was close to 8 and had 2 around 7...I was fishing on the inlet side mostly I am going in the morning as well I will report after lunch

See you there. I'll be in the maroon and silver Ranger 520.

be sure and give us a report, guys. Am thinking about headed that way on Monday

I saw the ranger trailer there at the ramp hooked up toa yukon?? I was in a white and blue triton..fished the inlet caught 2 and accross the inlet by the spillway caught 3 I caught mine on lake fork magis shad swimbaits dad caught his on watermelon wacky worms..all in about 2-5 foot of water...

thanks rich...what was the water color like?

little stained using a white spinnerbait had about 8" of visibility more or less in some spots...

exactly where is the intake and discharge located?

Intake: When you launch your boat and go out of the marker bouy's you will turn left about 10 o clock go straight towards the plant, you will come to a cove opening that has standing timber all around the inlet. Thats the intake if the wind is blowing fish the windy side of the cove (just something I have noticed)

Discharge: Launch your boat go out the marker bouy's to the right about 2 o clock go around the first point on the left and turn left you will see a deep cove there are usually boats there fishing right at the roped off area. YOu will also notice a dramitic water temp change usually about 6-9 degrees difference..

hope that helps if you ever plan on going out there let me know maybe I can meet up with you. I saw brett out there this weekend they were doing pretty well with white spinnerbaits I was fishing behind them catching the stragglers with a swimbait....

I went out today too - didn't see you Rich. Guess you were smart. We got our asses blown all over the lake. Left early. Terrible day.

I shoulda gone there yesterday instead of Conroe...a fishing tournament was going on and it was crowded to say the least.

Just wondering if the cats are biting at Gibbens? Last year in the spring I caught e pretty well

yea brett i couldnt make it today man the wind was blowing here so i figured the lake would be bad. Im leaving thursday for choke canyon and wont be back till the 12th good luck out there if you go back...

Has anyone been out since this front came through? I'm just getting into freshwater fishing and my dad let me bring the boat up this week. Thinking about hitting gibbons thursday and friday.

i was there right before the front came but havent been since I am leaving thursday to go to choke canyon or I would meet you out there... Good Luck fish points and grass inlet has been hott lately....

how are yall doin it? we fished from the grass point (hogs?) over to the discharge and got skunked. threw rat-l-traps, swim baits, spinning, frogs, all kinds of stuff of different color. biggest catch of the day was a foul hooked 2 inch minnow

plan on going out there sunday morning...anybody else going?

we'll be there when the gate opens tomorrow. grey triton 175

what time do they open the gates?

I think the gate opens at 6:00

early morning i caught a 14 inch largemouth
on a green and white YUM split tail worm

booned and I went out today. The wind blew us around, but we were able to pull in three. 16", 14", and 18". Nothing to write home about.

Me and Boone went to day I met him at the ramp around 630am we fished till about 1pm Caught between 16-20 Fish all over 14" biggest was about 6 lbs or so Boone's Personal Best at that Congrats bro..I caught one around 5lbs and had a lot between 3-5lbs... I LOVE GRASS!!!!!! thats all im gonna say...Show me grass I will show you what a bass looks like..

we went out this past saturday and wore it out.. all in grass from 1.5 - 2.5 ft of water.. biggest was around 5.5, it was a good day minus the terrible sunburn i got.

i was out there today from about 12 to 4 and only got 1 bass weighing around 2 pounds on a senko. did anyone else fish today? i'm hoping the cool front turned off the fish and it wasn't just me!
