the water has gotten real murky after todays rain off of 78.caught a couple there yesterday. you can catch fish anywhere below the dam. plenty of room out there today.

all the fish at the dam are going to be stuck in there after the water recedes. the dam at 78 will block them. so they will be in there till the next big rain. with one gate open the water dropped about 3ft almost (compared to 2 gates open). fish just went a bit deeper. get it down with the extra weight. crappie will most likely go down stream to the holes i found. one was 17 ft dropping off from 9 ft. very fishy looking. saw some big fish on the graph down there.

but while the gate is still on, the sandies will be right in front of it picking off disoriented shad. fish from the creek to the dam. when the sun gets up a bit, they tend to go deeper (the bigger ones)

maybe youll catch a tarpon on fly....

i think the water needs to be a bit saltier for them.... but i would love to go get some more Tarpon on the fly! Silver Kings are the "Ultimate Fish" on the fly rod!

They can live in pure fresh water if the right elements are present...my parents have a golf course across the street that backs up to a lagoon and all the ponds are filled with five to thirty pound poons that are perfect on a seven weight and small whistler fly...funny watching them roll in the lily pads and hydrila mat.

ThAt would be cool as heck to have a tarpon pond

Yeterday was a bit slower for me...we picked up a few crappie and sandies on minnows and panfish assasins then around 5'ish there was a brief hour or so of topwater action with sandies....I wish 20 people woudnt crowd your area and stand 5 feet from you literally when they see you catching...on top of that they are throwng crappie jigs on 30 lb test...c'mon they are pretty much everywhere below that dam... ...oh well thats Dam fisin' I guess

Haha. Reminds me when I was I. Florida fishing off the bank and pulled
up a nice spec trout, all the sudden 20 boats surrounded my bank spot.

has anyone been doing any good at night for some crappie. i heard they were biting pretty good this morning

hey rod father you should take some video footage of the tarpon rolling in your parents pond that would be so cool.

I seem to catch more after dark on jigs and minnows, but I don't target them really. I don't know much about crappie to tell ya the truth.

Wilson's pond should be full of crappies.
Just pay admission to Wilson and fish in his pond .... lol

perry, the crappie bite at night is very good on minnows under a cork... really good... if your using a small glowstick at the end of your cork.. let me know if you are going anytime soon... might want to get into some more crappielol

is anyone catching hybrids at all?

The hybrids are scarce out there....
You'll run into a few, but they'll be undersized or barely legal.

anyone going out tonight for crappies? i wouldn't mind going but don't want to go out by myself. just moved to lavon and ready to find the good fishing spots on the lake.

u can wade the trees in all the coves.... caught a few doing that the other day.....they will be shallow till the next 2-3 freezes, then they will move to the creeks...

Saw guy catch an undersized Hybrid the other day at the marina on a rattletrap

Looks like 6-8 gates open right now! Lake is officially 1 ft above normal

sandbass time again. sonfish, cany make it tonight. gotta go to my sunday poker game. we will hook up soon

3 gates were open when I got there...Fishing was slooooow for me..2 keeper sandies and a few dinks

Fish are probably still stunned with the extra water they are releasing.

or they can't swim against the current...

how is the fishing here?
