I have a 1988 champion with a prov150 its not too pretty but it gets the job done.Haha

My Champion is a 96 with a 150 Mariner , likewise

mine is not in showroom condition but it does what I

want it to do and that is to let me fish

glad I got on this forum and found this topic. alvarado has been haunting me, but I always fished it on horrible weather days. That lake looks so good and I've seen so much activity just never got into em like I thought I would. I live in Cleburne, so I'll be out there again soon. Thanks for the tips everybody.

aggie - I have figured out when the water has been muddy I try to find clean water, but when that fails I go super shallow throwing a big bladed spinnerbait or even a buzzbait. This has helped me out on the days I thought I would get skunked on Alvarado.

If that doesn't work out fish the 60' holes on the west end of the lake with the pink Banjo Minnow.

Good luck,
Steve

Hahaha, I might just START with the 60' holes first. Sounds like a damn good strategy. I just hope the depth finder doesn't explode trying to locate em.

aggie-angler09,first thing is not to have on,show,or even say the word aggie at the lake.Those fish are all longhorn fans.lmao.That's probably your first haunting from the lake.lolBut on the real,do as uncle funky said,fish slow as possible,the fish will be shallow year round there.Lake is not big enough and the deeper parts are on the west bank with docks as cover.We usually throw jigs and c-rigs(i don't)my partner that is,and finess with wacky worms.And really do good,but always fish the shallow spots to.Remember if it looks like it would hold a fish,believe it it does.Lake has alot of bass in it and structure is abundence and the fish get stacked on it,once you find the tree's in the 15-20' range,your odds of a good fish are good.Meaning the dam drop off,and all the points on the lake have good drop offs,and also try fishing mid-lake west bank boat docks and walls,creek channel runs that way.good luck and let us know how you do.

Might take some extra gas just in case you get too far out from shore when your GPS takes a [censored]....

That's when i break out the flares.lol

I'm fishing this lake after work today. Anyone hitting any white bass in Alvarado?

Talk about thread re-hash!

How in the world did this crummy thread ever get so many hits?

Trolled throughout the main lake up and down and around. Caught 1 channel cat. Still a nice evening out in the kayak though
