Quite the adventure again, you pick some rough days to fish and still catch them. I see the lake is back full after all the rain this week and wonder if it will stay that way or drain down into Bob Sandlin again. Also I never have seen a white bass in Monticello in all my years there but they are in most of the Texas waterways so probably shouldn't be surprised. Thanks for the report and just a couple more weeks then fishing should be good in most all of East Texas. I fished Athens today Sunday 2/25 and several buck bass but no females or beds yet.
Slide right, coming in .... Fish On!

Thanks for the report and just a couple more weeks then fishing should be good in most all of East Texas. I fished Athens today Sunday 2/25 and several buck bass but no females or beds yet. I checked the TPW Monticello website afterward as I had never caught a white bass in the lake either. I didn't think it would count as a record as I was a quarter mile up the creek. There are some 8 foot holes back there before it gets to an area that was very hard bottom and shallow. Picture above and below are the end of the line, seen in map: https://goo.gl/maps/arWRWVviXWz End of the road for me. The map below shows an area within a 100 yards of mouth that I believe any size bass boat could wait out a storm from almost any direction if they got caught out behind the railroad bridge. No big trees to blow over on you from any direction and high enough banks to block winds with reeds helping as well. https://goo.gl/maps/XaD8DiB2zaS2

Some areas of creek you do not want to be when wind is blowing hard and trees all around.
