Well I got on the lake today. Started out slow but I found a few. I even found s decent top water bite, 12 on top water, 10 on plastic and 1 on a shallow crank. Plastic bite was in 10 to 15 FOW, crank bite in 4 FOW and the top water bite was in 1 to 3 FOW. Crazy day, it started out so slow but ended ok. Just getting out on the water today was worth the trip in itself. Boat ran just fine and I had on just enough clothing to stay nice and warm, but yet lose enough to cast easy. Fun Day.

Ramps still slick, fishytx? Only if you get in the water.

Ramp is in good shape. When I stepped on it to crank boat up tight, I never felt a slip.

Yes there is some bait fish up shallow now. I watched some bass blow up on some small shad in about two foot of water. The shad were only like 3/4 to an inch long.

Fishytx, you are correct about being so slow in the morning. I went Monday, 11 Dec and got skunked in the morning but the temp was 38. It was not that cold when I left Houston. The ramps were not slick but the water lvl is low.

I don't know why this is but I have always had slow mornings. I know just a few good spots, but even those don't always pan out. Bastrop morning bite treat me better than this lake does. From 1 pm to dark is the best bite for me. Except in the spring time. April and May are two good months to get on some decent early morning bites. When I say decent, I'm talking quality fish, three to six pound fish and the numbers on these fish are good as well. Now there are a few guys that love the morning bite, but I would prefer to take my time and get there later in the day and enjoy catching a good number of fish in less time on the water.
