Me and my buddy went out today and we got skunked! We fished everywhere and we fished everything, where are the FISH? Any suggestions would be great, now I'm not trying to take anybodys honeyhole or anything just a little nudge in the right direction. Thanks Guys.

Something must be wrong or something has seriously changed for the worse. The last few weeks, up until even Monday, you could just about go anywhere and throw just about anything and at least catch some swimmers. Only time you have to concentrate was going for overs.
Try speeding up and covering water with a crank or blade. They may have have concentrated up near the main lake or gone deep with all the boat traffic.

is it crowded out there today? ill tell you if i catch anything after i get back.

Points on the main lake should be pretty good but as stated earlier the extra boat traffic may have shut em down.

I put 2 17. 5's in the boat yesterday on back to back casts.

Yep...they're pretty scarce right now.

Seriously Joe B? Where, When, How and Why? Man that is awesome I would love to find fish like that on the vine I know that they're there I just don't have any idea where. I do think that maybe the added boat traffic had a lot to do with it and it was pretty crowded today too.

All I will say is Monte is on the right track.. With the hundreds of boats being on the lake yesterday and last night I am sure the Bass are shut down. I got on the lake about 11am and got off 11pm and it was tough we boated a total of 4 fish but only fished for about 5 hrs. Here is 1 pic that I will post...

has twin coves been good lately?

Absolutely not!!! I would call that place Death Valley. Whatever you do, stay away from that place. There are no fish in there.

I don't know I very rarely ever go in there.

Wow. People still fish the north side?

It was tougher this morning as far as quality fish than Friday morning. Was on the north side bank by myself Friday AM and only landed about 6 fish but some were pretty nice spots and decent size chucks. This AM wifey went too and it was dismal at first. I think I made the comment the fireworks must have scared them deep about a dozen times.

Started seeing some feeding activity finally that we could cast near and then we stared to catch decent numbers but very small fish...mostly 10 inchers and a couple better ones but not any even over 2 pounders.

Wound up with decent numbers...about 15 between us but again these were very small fish. Caught the majority on finesse type worms Texas rigged.

im sorry about yesterday. i didn't get to fish at grapevine instead i went to pier 121 on lake lewisville i fished with worms. i had a lot of hard hits but they were to quik i think they were sand bass.

Hit Twin Coves this morning in the kayak. Caught half-a-dozen largemoutn on topwater and crankbait, best two went about 16 inches. Best fish of the day was a gar on a topwater that went over 20 inches.

I WOULD FIND AN TIMBER IN PITCH A BRUSHOG AND A TOP WATER IN THE MORNING

In the water!

Over 24#'s won out there today and over 17# was second. I would say the fishing seems pretty good right now. Throw a crankbait and they will wear you out.

And where would you throw a crankbait at???

Joe B,

You caught a 17# pounder on the vine?

I've seen some 9's and 10's come out of there but a 17? actually two 17's?

good work

17.5 inches, i.e. just in the slot.

17.5 lbs out of the 'vine would cause quite the stir...dave short might move back for that. lol

thnaks jeffvanwhy,

lol.. I knew it was too good to be true

we caught some 19 to 20 inchers in the tournament today...

lots of 5 and 6 pounders were caught todasy. and bb was 8

we caught slots all day...had to weigh in minnows again

i went out today and smoked my college buddy , and i noticed a tournament today out on dove loop and it took 5 overs to win , the guy that won it had a 10lber in the boat . they were fishing brushpiles with jigs and carolina rigs. but last weekend i hook up with several slot fish , a 6lber and a 5lber

lol...
