Have some free time today and was thinking about hitting Hubbard. I'm one of those "green trash fish guys" and after reading and seeing you guys in action last Sunday, I've got the itch to start fishing Hubbard for Hybrids and Sandies. I had a great day Sunday. Caught 3 nice Hybrids and lost one that ran like a freight train. Man those fish are fun to catch! What are you thoughts about todays fishing possibilities? Looks like a nice day with light winds and a moving barometer. Think they will be on?

Thanks guys,
Gary - JackMason

Yes, I think so, but what do I know?
Good luck! We will be waiting for your report later today!!

Today would be a good day weather wise for sure. I think you will do okay because these fish are trying to pack on the pounds right now before the spawn. What ever you were doing sunday to catch them will work today also. I would go if I were in your shoes. Tomorrow will way to windy so go for it today

Guess you will need to find an expert on RH 1st?? Don't think there are any on this TFF thing???

It is winter so it's hit and miss time! Ya don't know if ya don't go. I would try in the same area's ya did sunday! Good luck!

today definitely looks like a good day to me. I agree 100% with what planokeith said...get in the same areas you caught fish last week and see if theyre still there. if theyre gone, keep searching around points and protected coves. stay 29-34ft deep.

and just one other thing...last week for me, the smaller baits caught bigger fish. think "flies"

good luck and give us a shout back

My glass half-full side tells me, before cold front, light wind, the fishing shoulx be good. My half-emptied side tells me the GOOD rain we had will drop the water temp several degrees and the bites may be slow. But this part timer/weekender usually go when posible. Duck is right, you dont know if you dont go

Can u do us a favor rcord the water temp, if u go. It was 49 on Sunday. Thanks in advance

And good luck!

By the way - I am FAR from an expert

Thanks guys. Don't know if there will be a report today. My buddy wants to play golf and that just happens to be my other passion. Damn, life is tough sometimes!

Thanks for your input guys.

Me neither Austin I'm just lucky. But like my boss says " Sometimes it doesn't hurt to be a little lucky"

My Dad said "Hey dipSh_t, get me another beer" Oh and he also said You Make Your Own LUCK!

There is nothing lucky about MOE"s Tackle that is for sure. It will flat catch the fish! "if you are lucky enough to find them". ( like me LOL ) Great Tackle from a great Dude.

Ya we know. If you're looking for an EXPERT

I'm not the guy. I have literally been fishing this lake since I were 13! I can say I've caught more big/quality fish this winter than ever before. That's only cause I've never fished during the winter!

This cold time fishing is the BOMB! Every one said it correctly earlier. Go back where you caught fish and check it out. If not, follow a white with red stripe CC, or a sea pro, a bass tracker, aluminum and red well I wouldn't follow him, a champion white bottom, black top noisiest guys on the lake. but we love em. Last but not least do not follow me, unless my wife is in
The boat. Then you know we are catching fish.

Man that was a hell of a run on sentence!

Good luck Mike

Water temp was 47.3F today, we were there from around 7:45am to 4pm. First fish was caught at 8am. Things slowed down until around noon when they went crazy by the red barn. We followed the birds almost to the damn, then back to the cove by the barn. Ended up with 23 keepers, threw back and missed a bunch also. Had my first dual fish catch with a shiny slab and a green 1/4oz road runner. Some of the other guys were using sassy shads and catching also. Thinking of returning Friday afternoon.

Thanks PlanoK! Sounds like there are lots of EXPERTS at RH! I only know 2 and have not seen them post?

1) RH Jesus
2) Johnny RH

MayB RH Jesus will wonder from the DarkSide and post some wisdom! Lets all hold our breath and hope RHJ / DrunkenBurger posts!

Can't Miss'M He is always doing this??? A TRU ALL-STAR

Im here from the dark side. As superduck stated above,I am an expert on this metropolitan reservoir. HAHAHA If you dont believe me here are some pics of the better side of me and hubbard fish. In all reality the only thing i do good on that lake is drink beer on D dock

I knew I could draw DB from the dark side!

Man whoever that guy is, wow those are some big green backs!!!!


I thought this was hybrid striper. I'll put him up against Matt Cartwright any day in weight.

I know. I know bass are so much harder to catch! I'm
Actually a bass guy buuuuuuuuuuut! Man I so much like catching 75 a day instead of

7

I am no expert but I sometimes get to fish with a guy that is an expert on Hubbard. He always tells me the big fish are down at the dam and sometimes by the ladder. The dam has been paying off lately but, he has never showed me that ladder secret.

shhhhh!!

Oh also forgot to tell you guys. Follow this guy around!! He's in a badd azz center console I believe white with a little red on it.
He definitely knows where they are!

Sorry gene. Lol

That's ok Mike. Lately everyone in my boat has been catching fish but me.I feel like an unloved guide.
I must have lost my touch or mojo or my rabbits foot or my 4 leaf clover. When we left the lake last weekend my son asked me if he could keep my credit card for the weekend to do some after Christmas shopping.

I JUST DON'T GET ANY RESPECT.

I've said it before and I'll say it again ,

"Nate King, he's a legend"

Back to the original post.......(and i know my hubbard buddies will agree) if u wanna get those sandies and hybrids to get going just stomp on your boat. Sounds nuts but it works

That does not work.

Beat IT like Mike Jackson! I'm saving my $$$ for a KVD Hydowave! Six Sexy Shad Sounds that call fish to the boat!

1. Frenzy (Shad)
2. Schooling Shad
3. Passive Shad Finesse
4. Fleeing Shad
5. Frenzy (Shiner)
6. Bait Panic

I'm a # 3 & # 6 guy! Some call me a Panic BaitR??

Yeah im kidding. Doesnt work

Now you're learning!
Lol

No
Beety the boat. It's very annoying.

That's not what I've heard you say..

Dang. Didn't mean to do so many, something's changed with the icons, on the phone. Lol

Thanks for the report, Diel!! Did the water came up a bit from the rain?

Yeah and the cat fish boys will gang up and beat the censored out of you too, hehe! So dont waste your time!!

To tell you the truth I couldn't tell at the ramp. Still looked low. And sorry, didn't want to come across as an "expert" ha,ha. Nowhere close to that for sure...

Todd, I drove across the 66 bridge and it looks like it came up a foot or more

Thats good to hear! Thanks, Jeff! Good luck tomorrow! Remember to look for the three B's. Birds, boats, and beer/bait!

So now it is up to the level of the dirt?

You forgot "Pipe". Always fish next to a pipe Oh and don't worry about humps you marked in the summer, because they flaten out in the winter

The Pipe next to Flying SauceR Rocks! Hate it when those humps go flat?

Well men, I would have bet money that the rubber mallot method was a joke. A TFF spoof that someone started here on the forum, but Seapro Todd convinced me today that it works. Everytime he started knocking when we were only showing balls of bait on the graph the fish would show up and we would nail them.

I am now looking for a professional knocker to go with me to call the fish up for me. Please do not tell my wife I said that.

Maybe this old dog can learn a new trick.

I'm a believer!!!!!!!!!

Hey Big C (Thumper) calledM in all day Yesterday!

I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it as well...
