Plans have changed. It is hotter than a $2 pistol over here. I was using a counter and quit using it after 56 whites. They were bustin shad all around the boat for 2 hours or more. It was a blast using topwater. Gotta go clean some fish. Nothin like limiting out and doin the catch and release for an hour or so. Ha Ha Ha Ha !!!!!!!!!!!! Only if I knew how to put pictures on here!

Is there anywhere to find more information about Newmans Bottom?
thanks

hoggwild PM sent.

Are you talking about the main lake, or a creek?

I was talking about staying over here and fishing Livingston instead of meeting hoggwild at Somerville. Livingston is only 40 minutes from my house. I do want to go to Somerville but the whites have started schooling on Livingston. I was at Livingston yesterday and would be there today but I have a dumptruck coming today and I need to spread this base material for my driveway. I will go back to Livingston next week.

will be at somerville in the morning, and will post a report. hopefully jodsterag99 got my PM quick enough! if anyone else would like to join, we will be out at birch!

good luck to everyone fishing tommorrow!!

Well let us now how the fishing went.

fishing today at birch was DEAD. only 3 whites today guys; if i were yall HIT THE CREEKS! no one on the point was catchin much of anything. with the lake being full the whites are goin to hit their prior spawning grounds....
sorry for the bad report! i just knew today was going to be GREAT

I was out trolling most of the morning......caught 16 whites, mostly small males. The females had eggs and the males, milk....

on the way home, i stopped at the new texaco on sh21 outside of Caldwell and some SOB stole my tackle box out of the boat while i was inside getting a drink. oh well!

hoggwild: are you talking about the point on south-east end (on the same side of the fishing pier)? I went to Birch with 2 other friends today, and saw a crowd of people on that point. So we went the other point on the south-west point. A bit luckier than you - each of us caught 7-8 whites, all good size. I got 8 whites, all female with under-developed eggs. Very windy in the afternoon, and no bites literally after 12pm.

jc, i was fishing the point on the right of the boat ramp. we where at the end of the point. i saw people fishing the point you are talking about. do you just park at the ramp and walk all that way down??

hoggwild - it'd be too far to walk there from the ramp. ;-)
We drove down there. Check out this map if you haven't: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/publications/pwdpubs/media/park_maps/pwd_mp_p4505_056e.pdf. It's a very purdy day on Saturday, there were a lot more people partying/picnicing than fishing there...

any reports on yegua?

hoggwild pm sent

I caught 8 whites last Saturday, all being females with un-developed eggs. Hopefully they haven't all gone to the creeks yet. I plan to go there tomorrow with some friends. I'll be happy to catch anything...lol
