First trip this upcoming weekend, never seen it. Tired of getting our teeth kicked in on the East Texas lakes we frequently fish. Any general info. or tips would be greatly appreciated. Also, first time to fish a power plant lake and not sure what to expect. Again, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank You

If you cant catch on Welsh, then quit fishing.
Guys hiring guides on Welsh is a joke. Not popular but the truth.

put the trolling motor down after launching and start fishing. the trees are VERY hard, so don't run on pad unless you know where you are going. most the guides are there and keeping it quiet for now.

Do a search on this site for Welsh information. There have been several marked "maps" posted in the past. Some of these mark "boat lanes" and others areas to fish. Lake is full now so some of the stumps in the main lake area are safely underwater.
SkeeterRonnie is correct, the cove where the boat ramp is has got some fish in it as does the large cove just north and west of the ramp. He is also right that the trees are very hard. Ask GTrigg about the stumps. He was with me when I put a hole in my boat the past January.

Just don't run on the lake, even if it looks clear. Follow someone.
Weightless flukes around grass edges.

Tons of grass, comes out to about14 feet. Split shot flukes or senkos on the edges and pockets. Punch with a craw or baby brush hog. Clear towards the dam, but be very careful at the power lines. Stumps and VERY SHALLOW rock pile on the right of lane. Stumps on the left as well. Going tomorrow ,o maybe more info to follow.

Will be out next Monday. Generally punching grass or fishing just off the edges of the grass. Bit worried a north wind is coming on Monday so hopefully that doesn't change the bite.

Last week I found some good fish above the ramp, mid-lake in the shallow water (1.5 ft to 2 ft) flats on the east bank. There is lots of grass in that area, but drag you a c-rigged lizard through the sparse patches and have fun. Here's the best of the bunch: And yes, Welch will sure punch a hole in the bottom of a boat as AllenBassFisher said....
