Fished Thursday-Friday last week with both boats out each day. The Whites are aggressively feeding pretty much all day long. We got into some Hybrids every trip and had a very good run on them Friday morning in 30' water off the Flats. Adam had an OK Friday afternoon trip with the late PM bite being the best. We finished off the week on Saturday with an eight person Baptist Mens Group morning trip and a midday Shore Lunch Fish Fry. Cleaned right at 200 Whites and kept a couple of 5 Lb. Plus Hybrids. It doesn't get much easier than Fall and it's happening now. All fish on Slabs in 20'-30' water with the normal places producing good...Windsock, Pelican Island, Flats, Main Lake Points, etc.

We have a boat open this Thursday & Friday and next week before Thanksgiving on Monday-Wednesday. We fish everyday except Sunday and offer Morning & Afternoon Trips. Give us a call and Let's Go Catchin'!

Had a Group of Regular Customers from Palestine join us today for a Morning Trip and Noon Fish Fry. Chilly to start the day, but was down to long sleeve shirts by late morning. Bite was good from the start with a few Gulls and LOTS of Hybrids and Magnum Sandies off the Flats in 25'-30' water. All fish on RSR Glitter Minnow Slabs ( www.rsrlures.com ) and TNT 180's. Must have caught and released 50 Hybrids between the two boats with most in the 17" range, but more Legal size fish than we've been catching. Kept around 75 Sandies for the Guys to take home some filets.

We saw one other boat around midday when we were coming in. 45,000 acres split between Adam and me. Doesn't get much better on a beautiful Fall Day!!!

Hush Puppies, Fries, Fish, Onions and Cole Slaw for Lunch....Guess it does get a little better!

Give us a call for Group Rates and Shore Lunches!!!

Good Luck and Good Fishin'!

Nice job Royce, and thanks for the report.

Royce do you use anything with those 180's? I mean like a split shot or something. They seem very light.

Hardline,

The last time I bought some Slabs from Brian, he sent me a few 180's in with the larger "Mark Parker" Slabs. The 180's are an ounce and a half slab(I believe). I normally use a 1 oz. RSR slab and both are plenty big to use without any additional weight.

Thanks and good luck!

Royce I not sure we are talking about the same lures. I will be on the lake from tomorrow until Tuesday night. Hopefully i can run on u during this time and you can show me what you are talking about. I'll be in the VIP tri hull. We spoke last week when you had the gentelman in from Arkansas in.

Had a GREAT Saturday with 30 Kids and Sponsors from Trinity Valley School in Ft. Worth. This is the 5th year they have fished with us on a November Saturday. Young men and women from 10 years to 17 years old and some that have fished every trip we've had. We had three boats out in the Morning and then fished the remaining half of the Group in the Afternoon. Bite was pretty good ALL DAY long with all fish on Slabs and caught in all the routine places.....Flats, Pelican, Roadbed, etc. Not sure how many we caught, but cleaned over 150 fish for the Evening Fish Fry. The Group stayed at the Lodge at Fisherman's Point Marina. Highlight of the trip was a 7 lb. Hybrid caught by an 11 year old young man. Lot's of Pictures, Stories, and Memories created yesterday!!!

Have one boat open on Monday and Wednesday this week! Give us a call and Let's Go Catchin'!

One more update and we'll end this thread This morning we began in thick fog and fishing was a bit slow until around 8:30AM. From then until we quit around 11:30AM, it was one Hybrid after another on the Flats and then BIG Sandies off Pelican Island. Had a Dad and 13 year old Son from Ft. Worth fish with me this am and they're already planning on how to get back during the Christmas Holidays. While most of the Hybrids were in the 17" range we did have half a dozen legal fish. All Hybrids C & R and kept a box of Sandies for a Fish Fry!

Still have a boat open on Wednesday (Morning or Afternoon) and then booked up thru the remainder of the Week (Taking off T'Giving for Turkey and Cowboys!!!)

Good Luck and Good Fishin'!

Royce, thanks for the updated reports and the info that help many

How did you do on Wednesday the 25th? I went out with a few buddies on RC and it was very very tough on us. We had 3 small fish sandies and after 6 hours gave up. We saw several guides running around and figured it must have been tough on rhem also. I was just wondering.

On Wednesday, I fished an afternoon trip with 2 Dads and four little Kids (7 to 9 yrs. old) and we eaked out about 50 Keepers. Had to burn a lot of gas to find them. Friday morning was a bit tough and then we found some fish way up the Richland Arm for Friday afternoon and today"s am & pm trip. Cleaned well over 200 fish each day with Saturday being very good. This was with both boats out morning and afternoon.

Good Luck and Good Fishin'!

Yep Mike, It is about that time to hang the Big Uns (Trophy Blues) - but do not discount the Whites and the Hybrids - what a bounus they can provide during the winter too.
