Sam Rayburn is at 159.69ft, the water temperature has been around 82 degrees. The water is clear to around 2 ft.
Well the lake came up to about 160.35 and then they dropped it like a rock. The fish didn’t know where to run to. We have had a top water bite early and late. We have caught some fish off the edges of the grass on senko’s and wacky worms. The Crankbaits have been picking up a few around the creeks and ditches. The Jig bite has been tough; if you can locate a few fish you can catch some good ones out there off the ledges and drops. Pulling a C/R or T/R around the points and deep structure has been getting a few bites. I look for the fish to get more active as the weather continues to cool off and the water temperature drops. These fish will continue to move as the shad move into the back of the creeks.
We got out and caught a few Crappies over the many brush piles that we’ve put out. Some of the Crappie have been huge and the kids have had a ball catching them. Remember get the kids out fishing and have some fun.
We are looking to add a 22 ft pontoon boat in the next few weeks that will be used on the larger Crappie trips. We may also be doing tours or renting the pontoon with a captain to do the driving. It will be based out of Jackson Hill Marina so look for more updates.
The Cat fish have slowed down this week.
If you haven’t heard about The Bass Class on the water check it out on the website and give me a call. Come on down and learn some nifty little tricks that will put you in the front of the pack.
Big D Outdoors is the place to look for your new or used boat. Bass Cat will have a new 21 ft boat out next year. If you’re looking for a good used boat go down and check out the used boats in D. J’s lot. I know there is a good 05. 929 Nitro that still has warranty left on the engine. So, what are you waiting for? If you need some service work get down there and let them take care of it. Give them a call 409-769-3700.
