Awesome Post. Thanks for sharing.

Nice report JV.

Thanks for the report JV. Great pictures, especially the ones of kids going fishing making memories. Anyone even thinking about fishing Hubbard and looking for a guide -there is no need to look any further. JV is a honest hard working guide. John always manages to put his customers on the fish!

Thanks for the report JV

WOW I can't believe you posted Nice report never the less

John Varner will put you on some great fish. Those are great pics.

Great post John, thanks for the update. Looking forward to running on top of more water.

Any good places in the shoreline for some sandies?

Great stuff JV! Great report as always! Love seeing all this water too.

Hire him and he'll show you. I've been going with him for eight years now. I learn something on every trip.

Good Report JV, Thanks for sharing.

Very informative and true report! Winter was so good it's hard to wait for things to turn back on. Great pictures. Love seeing kids getting out fishing. Those are lifetime memories for them!

Lake Ray Hubbard went from 10.57 ft low in December of last year to 1.19 ft low as of today . The fishing has really picked up over the last couple weeks . This is one of my favorite times of year to fish . I am mainly fishing 1-5 ft water working Co-Co Moes swim baits with 1/2 rocket science jig heads . These fish will stay shallow all day , find a windy point , shallow flat or cove and start throwing . I have seen some days where they are blowing shad out of the water and that's great . Fish are also starting to show up on the humps and levees in 23-27 ft water and the SSS slab is working best for me with a curly tail grub about a foot above . Here is a tip , on these long points that has grass on them a month ago , throw a top water right over it and see what happens .. Has the weeks have gone by with the rising water this is what I have done .. The fish are in the grass and waiting all lure I use cone from www.moestackleshop.com .. Just ask Mike Oser for the Ray Hubbard set up and he knows what to throw in the box for you . I have some dates open in June so give me a call . I have been fishing Lake Ray Hubbard for 20 yrs and been guiding for 13 or so .. I would also like to point out that a lot and I mean a lot of baby hybrids are being caught .. So please know the difference .. If you are not sure just throw it back . I use to try to help people and point out the difference . I have changed my attitude about it now because of some anglers I know that know the difference . I will call the game warden and send them pics and your TX number from your boat . We all pay to help stock our lakes with hybrids either thru license or private donations . And before anybody ask .. The young man in the bottom pic is holding 2 under hybrids , right when he caught the double the bottom fell out and horrible rains came , we rushed over to the marina where I unhooked the fish , took a pic and released them .. We where trying to get to safety ..

Way to go John!
