Anyword on coleto creek, headed out there next weekend and i have never been there before...

i havent been there in a while but i would imagine that the grass has started to grow back up pretty good. I always had good luck with a watermelon red fluke around the egdes of the grass. Hope others will chime in for you.

Fluke, thats kinda like a bass assasin right? Just texas rigged or what?

it is made by Zoom. You can do a google search for a picture of them. I usually fish them weightless with a 3/0 EWG hook.

We did pretty good on topwater around grass edges in the morning

Anyone Go Recently ?

Fish are biting great right now and have been for 2 months now. We fished our championship tourney Sunday and won the tourney despite losing the 8 lb fish 20 minutes before weigh in. We thought we lost the tourney due to that fish getting off in the grass but was surprised to win. Then went back out yesterday and had a heavier string off the same area in 2 hrs. Fish are shallow and can be caught on anything that is weedless. We caught several big fish in less then 2 ft of water even in the middle of the day. Good luck!

joe good luck up there. catch some bigguns.

I had a blast on this lake, it is beautiful... the wind and rain did not stop us from finding some good fish... all i can say is good thing i dont live closer ( my wife would end up leavin me... )

Glad you had a good trip mikey. Coleto is a jem for a smaller lake. how is the grass doing down there. i havent fished it since i sold my boat a few months ago.

Grass looks great on the cool side of the lake, the warm side the grass is all brown and does not look very healthy at all... water on warm side was close to 90 and cool side around 85. there was alot of exposed matt when we first got there and then it rained all night and the the matts were all covered by about 2" of water... it was neat!

True words.

my wife and i had a good trip to coleto last weekend. lots of rain we caught 3 striped bass and 2 blue cats all from the bank. we used live minnows. one of the cats was the biggest fish my wifes ever caught so she was happy. cant wait go again.

Glad you had qa good time Joe. I have a tounament there next month. Coleto is a great lake.

yea it was nice.

Lake is only 2 ft low now and the fish are biting big time! We had an easy 20 lbs with our best 5 yesterday before the front. Nearly all the grass is below the surface now. They were crawling on the bank and were eating everything that would not get stuck in the grass. It does not get any better then that.

alright, lets get some more posts on this thread, im goin this saturday, high of 79

I fished today and had 13 in about 4 hours. I have not been there since last fall. Lake is in great shape.

will be there in a few weeks. Glad to see some fish are being caught.

hope you catch alot at the tourney bo

i havent been there since march so we will see. Hopefully we will find a few here and there.

I know what to do BO if you want to know LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I already told you just stick to it you will be fine.

We shall see. Hopefully i havent forgotten the lake to much.

ive been thinkin about heading out there sunday morning, depends how wild the victory party is sat night.

Man are them fish biting! Water is up and we are now just about 14 inches low with more rain in the forecast. Fish were eating everything that moved. We had several doubles and at least 50 bass in the 1 to 4 lb range. It was where you expected a fish on every cast and that nearly happened. Great 2.5 hours of fishing. Throw your favorite bait and hold on!

wow.... i was gonna hit fayette this weekend, but if i went to colletto, i could work on my deer feeders too.

anyone else been there lately? what area of the lake were ya on CCC? how deep were the fish?

alright, im goin to colletto saturday morning, anyone else goin??? ill be in the dark blue champion, and ill have a chick with me. hollar if u see me.

Stomped on them again today right before the front. Had an easy 20 lbs with 5.5 kicker that looked like she swallowed a basketball. This is the second day in a row with sooo many fish caught in all depths of water and the north end of the lake is producing best results. Again your favorite bait will do the work.

alright CCC, idk how u are doin it, but i coudlnt reel in [censored], and i watched two other bass boats struggle too. lol

what is the water level? i was thinking about going this weekend but not if it is slow.... is the water over the grass?

BA
My buddy was out there Sat and Sun by himself and had 18 fish the first day and 25 the second. Nothing over 15" but that is his norm Do not know what else to tell you.

bassdud
We are about 14" low now. The water is over most of the grass all over the lake.

Good luck.

Well, My buddy and i are headed back to Coleto saturday, anything new going on? man... i reallly cant wait...

Mikey01
Nothing has changed other then more water everywhere and the patterns we discussed are still working perfectly. We caught 22 fish yesterday to 4 lbs. It was bluebird as it gets and they still ate well.

We did have some trouble finding them at first ( pattern kinda switched up on us ) but by lunch timeish we found them and it was sooo much fun... nothing huge but to 3 lbs all afternnon... Man i wish i lived closer... i love that lake...


P.S. THANKS coletocreekcabins for another fantastic time!!

Mikey01
Glad you found them again. You are very welcome! Any time just let me know when your coming back.

Im debating between Coleto or Choke for this Saturday. Both seem to be hard fishing right now. I really miss fishing Coleto though.

Lots of fish at Coleto Friday & Saturday... just small.

Josh like i told you sunday morning, we caught alot of fish saturday but i only had one that went 14 inches all day. It a different lake now that the grass has taken over everything.

Coleto is Full pool boys and girls 98.21

well Johnny we ended up going to choke canyon saturday because of all the rain over the weekend and the amount of water going into coleto was pretty high. Glad to see it has made it to full pool now. Was the lake pretty muddy saturday after all the rain.

Came up 2 feet over night and went over full pool and they keep the gates open most all of the weekend. One of the Katy bass clubs was here and I am guessing the bite was tough once they opened the gates Saturday but dunno for sure. Maybe one of them will chime in and and tell you more about that.

i imagine the the bite was pretty tough. We had about 5 to 7 inches of rain around corpus over the weekend and i think ya'll had somewhere around there. The lakes down there needed it thats for sure.

One my buddies was out there Sunday. Katy club had about 16lbs 2 day total and the lake is pretty much mud since the gates were open so long. I knew it would be tough due to both effects. I was right

We were set on going there but my cousin's dad called us that morning after we left and wanted to go to choke so we did that instead. I will definately be there soon once the water cleans up a bit.

we caught a boat full of dinks on the 13th.............
tough fishing...........
FYI coleto creek cabins had no towels and soap for our club members that stayed there.......so be sure and check
upon arriving................

2 day total of 20+ won it for KBM club last weekend. Still a tough weekend though.

thanks for the info bryan. Sounds like it was tough. it should get better now that the waters are up.

Mcneil9 You and All customers are told up front when making reservations that there are no towels and to bring your own(due to theft of towels got expensive). Now on the soap it should of been there and all you had to do was ask Everyone is told this before they ever get here and we have had no problems with it to date after a year.

anyone fish coleto latley? im itchin to go back...

Mikey01

They are biting man. All you have to do is come catch em. The water is a little stained but the fishing is still good.

Looks like I'm going to Coleto tomorrow then. I will be the boat with the poling platform on it that looks like it should be bonefishing instead of bass fishing, lol.

goo dluck tomorrow. wish i could go to.

If you guys can't handle little CC then I guess I will have to show you some day when I get time LOL!!!! You have to watch CCC he is always holding out plus I need some payback on him and he knows what I am talking about. Wish I could go but BC is about to start up again and got to get ready for it good luck and keep me posted I like that little lake.

Swimbaits around grass or a green pumpkin Zoom with a dipped chartruse tail...Slow!

easy now Grant. i thought we were going to go back in April, what happened. lol. Anyways let me know when you got a backseat on Lake Houston.

if i could only find a "house" forsale on the lake... sigh...

my Buddy and I are headed up to coleto this weekend... whats the scoop?

PM sent Mikey01.......They are fighting footballs right now! Fished 2 days before Christmas with great results each day.

the water is real dirty. anyone know why? fishing was tough for me. 2 days 10 bass... most were nice size though.

hmmm, should depend on what end of the lake you were fishing i would guess... i heard someone say on this forum before that the hotter end of the lake gets more run off than the cooler side... but mabey someone with more knoledge on this will chime in...

Anytime the gates are open for extended periods of time will muddy the lake all over. Happens every time the lake fills in a week or less like it just did. Fishing is still good and the water was 12" to 18" visibility so that is great. In some ares it was easy 3 ft vis. Hope that helps.

where are u finding water that clear? i fished from the coves around the big island all the way up to about a mile past the bridge and the best clarity i found was maybe 10 inches. I wouldreallylike to find some clearer water, i have a lot more confidence in clear water...

Let`s just say you are fishing in the wrong areas of the lake and leave it at that if you are looking for clear water. Every where you fished is the worst water right now for clarity but the fish are still biting. It is 12" clarity easy on the main lake where you were fishing. Just not as bad as you say. The clear water is there 18" to 36" of the beautiful stuff Keep looking.

We had a great 3 hrs today with a easy 20+ with best five fish. The largest was well over 8 lbs and fat as a basketball. Water clarity is very good with 18" to 24" where we were today. Fish were in 3 ft or less. The 8 came out of 2 ft and a 4 and another couple 3+ were out of 2ft or less. Shad balls were everywhere popping. Find that place and you will catch fish. Good Luck!
