well? How you like ray roberts? Should've caught a few, and at least a 3lber or so... Good luck!

Update, fished Ray Roberts today, beautiful lake, beautiful day but fishin was off. Three on, one dink and a 15-20lb.+ Snappin Turtle! LoL! Really, the turtle was hung up in a tree, looked like someone had baited a line with a three-five pound catfish. These things probably arent well liked around these parts but I don't like to see critters suffer so I cut him free. Besides, I left my Hogleg 460 S&W Magnum in the truck. Anyway the little turdhead still tried to nail me. As i reached in with my pliers he pulled his head back as far as he could and just as i was closing in on the line his head shot out like that little creature in "Alien" stretched out about six inches I S H I T you not! Screamed like a little girl!

Thinking about a guide for Lake Fork. Found this place to stay http://www.oakridgemarina.com/guides.htm seems a good place to start if'n you dont know the area or any guides. Just musing now, your thoughts?

Oakridge is a good place stay with a nice tackle shop and good restaurant. Zach Hughes is a great guide on Fork (he posted a couple of post up).

Enjoy your visit to Texas!

You may want to detour to el paso and fish ascarete lake.

I will tell you now , stay out of El Paso unless you want your truck and boat stolen while you stay . Guarantee someone will try ! Hit IH20 around Pecos or better yet head to Hobbs , go through Seminole and keep going east all the way to East Texas . Nothing in west texas worth stopping at to fish and hunting is hard to find places . Anywhere around Lake Fork is a great place to retire and settle in . That way your close to more lakes than you can shake a stick at and then your only a hop skip and jump to south Texas and the beach . Not far from New Orleans if you like the Mardi gras event in Louisiana . In other direction a couple hours or so from Dallas/Ft Worth . But as I said STAY OUT OF EL PASO !!

Between Houston and Austin is Fayette(Best Little Basslake in Texas). Fish can be on or off but when they are on you can catch 20+.

Hope you enjoy your trip! I'm located in East Texas about an hour from both Rayburn and Toledo so let me know if I can help with anything.

Sweet! You guys have been a great help! Will be staying at Oak Ridge through Wednesday night and fishing Fork with A guide on Wednesday. Still dont know what I'll be doing onThursday but thats the way I like it!

Dang! Fork is a tough lake! Besides I don't know why they call it "Fork" they should call it "Lake Stumpy!" Fished 8 hrs today started the east edge of the west most fork then up Little Caney with zero results, except for all the stumps. Good thing I have the "Gorilla Hull" on my boat! After lunch I tried Searcy Branch and lucked into one bite for a single 1.5-2 lb bass. I quit on that high note. One bite, one fish I guess I would be proud if I was a fish sniper but I'm not! it was a humbling experience.

Tomorrow I go out with a guide.

You got Forked

If you feel like fishing some freshwater reds, hit up Caldaveras Lake in San Antonio!! Decker Lake for bass fishing in Austin, fish them reeds!!

I was stumped! LoL!

Up in Kimberling, MO now fishing Table Rock. Some Champion owners fron "Bass Boat Central" are having a gathering called "Tournament of Champions" will return to Dallas area this Monday. Wouldn't you know it, just as I was leaving town 3 more fellas called wanting to see the boat! LoL! Two from Dallas area and one just north of San Antonio. Got one offer for $12,500 sight unseen but am holding out. This is a unique boat and its setup perfectly for these Texas lakes. Come on guys you'll miss out if'n you wait, tell ya what, I'll sweeten the pot by throwing in a 6-pack of Lone Star! What do you say? Heck I'll even help you drink it.
