Hey ya'll; Went to Lake Tyler East this morning. I was kinda pumped up after reading some of your posts last night. Only good things to happen were that I found the road bed and I found a point. Not a lot of structure in that lake as you guys have already started. No luck if catching any fish. But I did lose the cover and half of the innards of my pflueger bait casting reel that my father gave me in the lake, my motor started acting up on me and I mashed my thumb; A day to remember.

I used to fish a lot with my dad. He would tell me what to do and where to fish. I know that he had a lot of knowledge because he always caught fish. Sad part is he never really taught me anything. Last year he gave me his old bass boat and encouraged me to use it fishing. After a few months of redoing the trailer and the inside of the boat I hit the lake. I have not been very successful just a couple of 1 pound bass out of the grass on Lake Tyler West (LTW). I need help. Where should I be fishing this time of year? What lures should I be using? Any help would be appreciated.

If your dad is still living pick his brain for info. If not I would try carolina rig lizzards in green pumpkin, kudzu, pumpkin pepper, tail dipped in chartruse dipin dye on main lake points with deep water close by. Start shallow and work your way out to deeper water. Work the area very well and dont run all over the lake looking for a bite.
