was at lavon dam earliar... was pretty packed after the rain fall... saw some nice sandies caught and some good crappie....a few drum and thats it... 10 gates are open.. should stay on 24/7 for 2 weeks straight... not a bad day for some... should be packed here on the weekend... i really dislike people who fish out there and think they own the lake lol... i straighten them out really nice...

-please be courteous to other fisherman and children thanks!
-lets pickup after ourselfs... trying to keep this place clean... so far better than last run..!!!

LOL its funny when you see 50 people lined up shoulder to shoulder not catching anything.

yeah and then walk up and make 2 or 3 casts and hang a monster!

I guess I'll be putting in a little farther back again. Im not to fond of crowds when sharp objects are being whipped around.

Since Im pretty new to all this, maybe someone could tell me how far back from the gates I can go and still have a good chance of pulling out a decent sized catch. I know the crappie spot farther back, but what about flatheads or stripers if I wanted to have a go at them?

pm sent

Yup that's how you do it! Especially when you are the only one catching fish! Lol

ummmmm can I get that PM to damfisherman....

im gonna do whatever i want sonfish. dont think about throwing across my line... ill cut yours buddy

the flatties should start to bite in a few days,,,, hybrids a week or two if all 10 gates stay on..... sandies are always in there. they just dont leave when the gates turn off due to they dont jump over the dam at 78 when the water stops..... as soon as the gates turn on you can see shad along the wall 2 minutes after the gates open..... there is a ton of bait in there to sustain everything till the next release.....

and SONFISH: I OWN THE DAM! - so when i show up, yall have to understand something, you must leave the area immediately, you are tresspassing on my property......

I went down stream from 78 today due to the crowd and tore the crappie up. i used minnows this time. caught well over 100 between the 2 of us in the fish cats.... marked soe huge fish on the graph, had to be gar.... but the shad were so thick, my graph said it was 2 ft when i was in 14 ft of water!

Was at the Dam early Monday morning in the rain and while damfisherman caught a 25lb flat head I caught a 102 fever. It was worth it however cause I got to see and learn a few things on how to catch these monsters from the infamous Damfisherman. If y'all ever get a chance to meet him he is one cool and tall dude.

carey you should have called me today... i wanted to roll

why did you go out this morning..you woke up for no reason.

I was down there from bout 11 yest. morn when they had 5 gates open till bout 3 pm when they had 10 open after the hard rain and didnt see more than maybe half dozen small sandies pulled in.

LOL thanks brother!

I was there this morning from 11P to 5A. Lots of folks there when I arrived, some decent channel cats being caught and some crappie too. Folks complained about not finding any shad so I went down a ways trekkin through the grass and threw my net three times. Pulled out 50 or so shad, cleaned the cockleburrs out of the net and then headed back to share the bait since I wouldnt use that much bait by myself. Found that the folks I was talking to had left and the ones still there didnt seem very receptive to me being there so I set up on the bank just on the other side of the railroad bridge. Bite was slow, and I need some of those no-roll sinkers.

pm me if you need some no rolls!

Only a matter of time until they close the ramps because the water is too high, they just slowed the release to 876 cfs.....

Lol last year one guy was like that. He almost got bruce lee kicked off the wall. Dude was talking smack to me for 20mins. I held it in until I couldn't hold it no more. He was complaing that I kept snagging his line. Well shiet that wouldn't happen if he casted it towards the dam not downstream. I walked all the way to the top and confronted him. Dude got scared and took off lol

I need to stop having sex. Time to pull out my fishing poles and remove the spider webs. Might hit up Lavon damn tonite, or tommorrow night while in my halloween costume.

I know who your talking about...always in right left corner with one surf rod..white dude with long hair..looks like he smokes crystal meth for breakfast every morning...hate that guy.

That is the most random comment I have endured in a while on this forum...congrats.

maybe a new discovery for him?
