So I decided to fish Rayburn yesterday and today before front blows in. Got on the water yesterday at 7 am but fog was to heavy to run. Finally around 8 I was able to run up to mid lake. Started fishing a favorite hole of mine but couldnt get bit. Looked in the back of a cove/creek and noticed the water was alive! Figured it was whites but trolled my way back there anyways. First cast with a KVD 1.5 and wham. Reeled it in and it was keeper largemouth. From 8 - 1:30pm I was by myself and the fish continued to school. I caught them on yellow magic, spinnerbaits, flukes and rattletraps. It was amazing.Caught probably 30 with the biggest being a 5lber. Left that place and went to another cove and ended up catching 20 more. Got back on lake at 9:30 this morning and went back to see if the fish were schooling again and yes they were. From 9:30 til 1 I caught 35 on a KVD 1.0 and 1.5. This was by far the best trip I've ever had. It's kinda funny cause I asked several people to come with me but due to work none of them could manage. Oh well I had a ball but will probably never see these kinda days again.

That's how Rayburn is supposed to be. We hit a school like that bout this time of year and we threw the kitchen sink at them. Took a trick worm to get them intrested but they would swim with it like a freight train. Glad you had fun!

another lake I would love to fish.....congrats on the fine day

Awesome! Sure miss that lake, wish it was a couple hours closer to me.

has sam come up any with the recent rains?

I haven't seen it like that in a few years. Glad you got on em, fun stuff.

Sam and toledo are coming up up right now. Wooohoo let it flood!

I was out there Friday and we had a good day also. I've only fished rayburn couple times now and it was by far best day I've had there. We hit some schooling in back of a cove as well and they were hammering our rattletraps for about a hour in the middle of the day. We ended up with around 40 with most being 1-2 lbs but my partner did pull 2 3's and a nice 5 lber right up against the bank in the evening. Unfortanetly I didn't participate in catching any of those bigger fish but was still good time.

Yes, as mentioned in a previous post both are on their way up. We have got a lot of rain the last 2 days. Rayburn has came up 4 feet since December.

Happy BDAY stumpjumper.

thanks!

Man, sounds like two great days. Wish I could be down there and fill your back seat.

Yeah Big Red it would have been nice to share that day with another person.
