Any reports, should be getting close for the whites. Just got my 15hp ready to go, cant wait.

Rookie you guys should be atleast seeing the males by now. No reason not to hit it this weekend, that's if you can't hit it during the week!

If anything there'll be a bunch o' crappie up there...

TTT

not much action today just a couple whites and crappie. not in the swing of things yet.

good report, maybe this weekend

anyone go out today?
Debating going tomorrow or monday.

good day me and the boy caught a dozen sandies. we'll see what the cold front does to 'em

glad to hear ya'll got a few. anytime now, anytime

Buddies went today and caught about a dozen whites and a couple crappie

17 sandies today. Slowly picking up.

been real hit or miss as of late one day a limit the next 5. Strange year this year.

my thoughts as well

any new reports? Dang work has kept me off the water as of late.

pretty slow out there today didn't see anyone with more than 10.

4 buddies and I took the flat bottom out Saturday morning. Had to call it a day about 12:30 due to work, but ended up with 92 whites, 3 channels and 2 gasper goos. They're definitely up there and biting.

d@%#-it! picked the wrong day to go out. How far up did y'all go?

We went up to where we had to get out and pull the boat a ways, then kept going up past the next bend. If you look closely in the water though, they're everywhere. Every little depression, rock or stump in the river bottom is holding some fish.

awesome. I know where ur talking about. I've been that far only once this year in my father in laws jon boat. unfortunately mine is too heavy for that. But as long as theyre still up there then I can catch em coming and going, before the first rapid just not as concentrated. But thats good enough for me and the boys. Thx for the info.

The fish were biting today got my limit in 2.5 hours and my 4 yr old caught 8. Heck of a day. I've got the photos to prove it but it is quite the PITA to put them up, so only if demanded.

great job! Glad to hear you got into them. Hope that little one had a blast

can anyone pin point that gravel crossing place on google maps for me?!!? I've been there before, but my brother in law knows the way, I wanna see what I'm up against in a kayak, last time I went we were fishing off the bank

please?

Take 2484 out of Salado, head west, about 9 miles or so out you'll see a road shoot straight off a curve. Has a street sign that says Gravel Crossing. It's about an hour paddle up to where the good fishing is.

appreciate it much !

Can you get to it from the lake in a bass boat right now?

Is it possible to walk to the rapids from gravel crossing? Or is it possible to reach the area walking from the bridge on 195?

i dont think so HD.

watch out for the gators

rapids and gators? is it safe to go in a kayak? lol

Yep, Can get pretty spooky down there after dark.

Alright, thanks. You guys got me worried, I'll be there from sunrise to about 6 so no big deal. When I get there do I go downstream or upstream towards the lake for the good fishing. I'm not trying to steal any honey holes, I just want to put a friend of mine on some bass.

Where do y'all go for yellow cats..........

Yea its not too bad......................I been out there many a nites alone no guns.............but its hell of a catfish hole.........just got to watch out there's a bunch of hogs and gators..........at the split there's a monster....every bit of 14 foot

It just depends.............if there biting get in the current........or u can pull up close to the bank and throw down bank..........some what parallel with the bank. A lot of ppl use marabou jigs road runners all kinds of spinners.............I normally use rattle traps..........the only thing is all the hooks..........and they jump every where...so. u would head up stream away from the lake.......pass the first big bend then try up from that

Probably not....................no mattter what time of the year.................but u can get up in there far enough with a bass boat to catch them................just watch the stumps

Once it rains u got to give the river 2 to 3 days before the river clears up..........and then they will turn back on...............best time to go is right before a front..............with the low pressure....................

The one time years back we made it up near the gravel crossing via boat the lake was full. We came across a solid mess of crappie and didn't try to go any further. Wasn't sure how much further up we could have went anyway.

If someone needs a partner to go........................text or call.......I know where the whites are the cats and a crappie hole..........254 317 0458

BBC I made it from the lake the first week of march. should still be doable.
Couple spots you'll need to go slow and watch for stumps but that is pretty soon after you get into the river but then deepens out and is smooth sailing all the way to the first rapid

Thanks so much guys, this helped a lot.

With the government shutting down my brother in law won't get paid, no kayak for us. Hopefully Obama won't ruin my weekend.

what patterns have ya'll had luck on so far?

I went last weekend and fishing with minnos was key.... I did not have any, so I threw a rat trap and many diff lead head jigs. Managed 10 with artificials. Guys next to me were pulling them in every cast with live bait.

Thanks wise

Anyone caught anything lately or are they done running?

anyone been catching crappie or cats lately?

anyone getting antsy for the whites run? Hope there is gonna be enough water.

there is no water the water is so low that the old gravel crossing is out of the water only one tinhorn is letting water out. been there twice this month and have been hitting zeros but a couple small blacks.

dang afraid of that

whites and crappie were good before the front moved in and slowed things down we'll see how they do now

is there any water up there?

Well, is there any water up there? Need a place to take the kiddos fishing. Any recent reports from this weekend?

Waters down to where u can walk on the old road or crossing at gravel crossing. There is water on both sides to run a canoe or Jon boat. The crossing has drainage pipes though it with some current. There are a couple deeper holes the fish seem to be holding to. But water is way down compared to last year.

thanks for the report. I can see from hwy195 there is water flowing, but just wasn't sure how bad it actually was down that way

Thanks for the report.
