After mowing the yard this morning in the heat I decided about 4:00 to go to the lake. I fished standing timber in 15-18' and could not catch a fish, moved out to 20-25'on hard woods and ended up catching my limit. I had 3 that would go over a 1 1/2 lb. and most of the fish were about 18' deep. I caught all my fish on White & Chartreuse, Rocky Top medium size jigs...I used 2 jig bodies all day. I finally found a tree that had 6 good keepers in it and most of the other trees I only caught one or two. Fishing is still good but it sure is hot but as long as your catching fish it's fun though!

Sounds like there on the same pattern as they are at rc.Going to Limestone in the morning and ckem out

Way to go Paul!!! Sounds likeareally good trip!!!!

Congrats on the limit. Thanks for the info.

Glad to know there's something other than fish that you can do....(LOL)

Jigum

It was already dedided that he was going to the lake--He just got up late!!

Nice catch, by he way!

Excellent report and appreciated. Try any brush piles at all too, or just trees?

Just trees no brush piles. I fished two cedar trees and caught a couple of fish out of them but most of them were big hardwoods and stumps. You know me I don't like to fish brush piles unless I have to, I'm more of a tree man.

I guess when you stay up til 2am playing cards it makes it hard to get up... I didn't get a call did you Gary?????

Someone please get Paul and Jerry a late night poker game fired up on Friday the 15th. Need all the help we can get But with my luck they wake up at 11am and get to the lake in time to still kick my arse.

Yeah, i gotta a call--think he was already driving down the road though! But, I had already had other plans "made" for me!

I have never been on Ray Bob and just got my first boat. Can ya'll tell me the best place to launch-where the timber is located-what the crappie are hitting. I know i'm asking alot-just need alittle help.

Thanks,

Jordan ramp west right out of Pilot Point will get ya in the trees quick. Or, put in a Pecan Creek off 3002(on the east side of the second bridge), then just go south down the main lake and around Wolf Island.

Think Buck Creek has a ramp too, though never been there. We mainly just pull into the north ramp across from RayBob Marina(E of Sanger), then just go across the lake.

Good luck...

thank you sir
