Is any one fishing Canyon Lake this weekend? going to try and go sunday.

no,but we blanked in shallow water last weekend. good luck

Man I'm just glad to know someone else tries to fish it, still going to try in the morning. If nothing else it's a beautiful weekend on the lake. If We get a little wind will try and drift. Looking outside and there is no wind at this time.

The Blue Cat bite has been off for a month.
I did catch some Channels (2-4 lbs) way back in the coves over flooded vegitation the other day.

Trolled today from 1 - 5 and ended up with 1 white, 1 striper and 3 LM bass. 1 LM was a keeper and the white was keeper size although I didn't keep them.

Let us know if you find the fish!

Well was definitely a beautiful afternoon on the lake but once again I didn’t find the fish, anchored and fished up around Canyon Park I probably should have drifted. Oh well there is always next time. Lets keep posting.

Im gonna try it tomorrow morning. I will let yall know.
PS
Im new to the forum. This is my first post.

Let us know how you do. I have been out three times in the last few weeks with only one fish boated. I gotta get the skunk off my boat. I haven't caught a decent fish off it in freshwater. Canyon Lake is my home lake and I can't let it get the best of me.

Will be out again on the 14th.

The tackle stores love me.

We've been anchored. Fishing with Shad, but next trip we are going to try a buffet. I'll get some shad, shrimp and crawdads, I'll figure this out. Read a lot of Tiny's posts and website...good thing is, can only get better!

Went to the mouth of the river this morning and caught a nice channel cat on chicken liver within the first five minutes. only one more bite the rest of the day. couldnt ask for a more beautiful day on the lake though.

Thats a big 10/4 on the only get better SportFisher. Are` you netting your shad or fishing store bought. I'v not had any luck netting, have been fishing store bought from where ever. Need to figure out Fresh bait till then I'll just keep trying what I can get. I'm going to try more driffting next trip. hopefuly sunday if all goes well. Glad to hear you got out Canyon Cats. not sure when we need to start working up in the river. I'm sure it was a beautiful day to be out. Lucky you getting to go during the week

I netted about 5 shad, was enough for the trip since we didn't boat a fish. Not sure how hard it will be to net some shad during the winter, we'll see.

Tiny's site says to try to use fresh shad and keep away from the frozen, but if it's all you have...it's all you have.

I went out with Cliff Hill and we killed them...I have the same name, used the same bait...maybe I need to grow a goatee or something. It may be the hat too....started wearing a Georgia Bulldog hat instead of the Atlanta Braves hat...caught tons of fish(saltwater) with the Atlanta Braves hat and nada with the Bulldog hat...will change out for the next trip and see how that does. Still pretty new to this freshwater fishing, but I'll get it down.

I have six jug lines I may throw out...need to do some work on them, but they can let you know if the fish are there or not.

If you see me out there, flag me down or something.

See ya on the water,
SportFisher

I got a message from Travis at the Tackle Box and he said they caught several nice ones up in the river last week. IF my new prop comes in this week, I may give that a try this weekend.

Yea I heard about travis trip just didn't think I wanted to go up in the river yet still trying to find them in the main Lake Sport Fisher I'm in a yellow 22' Sea Ray if you see me say hi. Invited to go and fish LBJ this Sunday think I'll go my cousin has been catching some good fish on trout lines up there. But if not I'll be on Canyon.

Tall Tale, I've been out with Sportdeck lately. I'm trying to get my pathetic bass boat set up for cats, so once I get that taken care of, I'll be out there during the middle of the week (Sportdeck only has weekends off). If you see my boat, say hello!
Steven

Still looking for a good fishing partner...the one I have now won't tell me I have my sunglasses on 3 hrs after sundown and I'm complaining that the light I'm using sucks, plus now can't get my name right!! SportFisher....not Sportdeck LOL

SportFisher

Lol! I need to quit making posts at midnight after a 12 hour shift! I'll take the hit on the sunglasses after sundown. I was fixated on that lit bobber like a moth to a flame.

Steven168 I dont get off during the week either, so all I have are weekends but I will keep an look out for you. Sportfisher I'll look for you on weekends. I think this sunday I'm going to LBJ to fish with my cousin will report how we did. Steven168 I thought i saw on Bee Ready site that he had a mount to add to your fishing chairs, thought that may work for your boat. If ya'll find em give a heads up.

Tall Tale,

Steven168 and I will be out again on the evening of the 14th. Will be feeding them a buffet of items to see what will work. I Usually make it out there every other weekend.

See ya out there,
SportFisher
