Went to Hubbard this morning with Gary and his crew from Oklahoma, thanks guys for driving down from Durant. We caught the bulk of our blues in 26-30ft of water. The humps along the dam seem to be holding large numbers of fish. We caught almost all cats on fresh caught shad. I launched out of chandlers at 5:30 and the shad were thick right outside the wall. There were large football field size blow ups of what I think were sandies. Man they were every where. It could have ben hybrids, I didn't try to catch them. We caught a few really nice channels by the dam as well. We caught no monsters, but not for lack of trying. We caught the first 10 fish in about an hour. All in all a pretty fair trip, as this was my first day back on Hubbard in over a year.

I kept reading that everyone has been catching them in shallow water, I couldn't buy a bite in under 20ft, I was even getting a few dinks in 30ft. I marked a number of fish in holes and humps in shallower water, but no hook ups.

This past weekend I fished Texoma and found some fish in 3 to 10 fow. Biggest going right at #40 and one in the mid 20's. Didnt kill the little ones but I was running pretty large baits trying to target bigger fish.

Nice fish, I was using smaller shad, it was my first day back on RH, so I wasn't sure where the good shad were, then lost my big net after 3 throws.

I have been going thru nets like crazy this month. My bigger baits have been coming in the 30ft range up here on Texoma. During the day you can find a mix of all sizes up shallow once the sun gets up. The bait has made a heck of a come back this year so far and there seems to be a lot more big ones to be caught than last year.

We started catching really nice 12 to 14 in shad at Lavon, now that the ramps are all closed, Im searching Rh for the big shad. You using 2 to 3 in pieces or whole shad. we been using both , but had better luck with larger pieces. The shad die off here at RH and at Lavon was really bad, Lavon bounced right back, but RH seems to still be playing catch up.

Catdaddy jr, at Texoma are your big fish in shallow water around timber,or just sandy botton areas. I was told the big ones on lewisville were in timber and Twok as well, but the shallow ones on RH were near rocks.

Well bad thing about Texoma is there isnt really much cover anywhere like those lakes. I was able to find some fish on shallow flats and also on ledges. I noticed the softer/muddier the bottom the better the fishing was. On the big bait Im mixing it up, using the whole shad with a side cut off, maybe cutting it in half and using the head side. Just kinda trying it out to see whats working that day.

Yep, we are doing the same thing. Seems like what worked last week is not so good this week. Guess that's why its called fishing, not catching. LOL
