Nice catches are coming from the trees north of the Greenville pump station and right up against the dam. Also a nice report right off the boat docks at rainbow cove yesterday
we hung some nice blues in 9 feet of water yesterday and three very good hyrbids made it even more fun

Thanks am poat to go this weekend with the family. by the 2mile bridge hope to have some luck

they have packed in there on the weekends by the west side boat ramp lately

you mean on the bank

yep

For the past 2 months I have been fishing the big woods in 30 ft of water with big marvs punch bait and got my limit in a couple hours. Biggest so far on punch bait 12 lb blue. I will be back again Sat and Sun.

took a family friend out friday afternoon and saturday morning
kept 14 in 2 hours on shad in 8 feet of water on west edge of trees north of greenville pump station
saturday we kept 13 in two and half hours again on shad 28 feet deep in the timber just north of the cut (south of 2 mile)
nothing big but he had a great time and took home a gallon and a half of fillets back to college station and had a fish fry before they left.

Ok wind is blowing like h@#@ And it lunch time. I hurd bank fishing yesterday was verry good.

Get a throw net for shad and use shad that is a fresh as possible. If your shad are three hours old, get some new. My buddy and I fished Tawakoni last weekend and hammered the catfish. We had two limits. The right depth was about 4-5 feet deep. We tried deeper and managed a fish or two but we couldn't keep the rods baited when in 4-5 feet water. When the bite slowed down, we threw for new shad and the bite was back on...red hot. We were fishing the trees and open areas of the lake. Cast towards structure, trees, etc. Put your bait within 2-3 feet of the structure and it will be steady and consistent. Lots of eater size cats. Nothing of any big size. We were using clicker reels. If you are tightlining without clicker reels, you really, really had better be fishing one rod at a time, as the fish will hit it and run. They could jerk a pole clean out of the boat if you are not careful.

Several times, we would be reeling in a fish and the other reels would go off. Doubles were very common and we even had a triple on a one time. Lots of fun to be sure!

Remember...4-5 ft. of water in the right locations, i.e. structure and then "fresh" shad. They don't like the old shad. That was a big lesson for us last weekend.

the wind made me stay home today and mow, did notice a few boats out when I could see that far through the sweat in my eyes, we were never out long enough to not have fresh shad but we did end up using all the small ones and had to go to cut shad toward the end of the trip saturday, but they were in the deep water as well
we had a nice mix of channels and blues- the catfish are biting- don't forget the catfish cook off and tournament in 2 weeks $1,000 to the winner of each event, catfish can be prepared in any manner but they must be fillets not nuggets

Well went Sat. and kep about 50 of channels and blues any wear from 2lbs to about 12 1bs. man it was good

Dirtycreek,

What did you use for bait, type of terrain, etc. Share some ideas here. Not asking for specific locations, just types of terrain so others can go get their own fish. Congratulations on a great days fishing. Did you tightline, use clicker reels, use corks?

Drifted used shad and shrimp. worked really well them catfish bite best on clowed days with rain on the way. I think that the fishing was so good. i was fishing near 751
