Thanks for the info and especially the screen shots.

Thanks for posting, nice job.

Those are some fatties.

Good ol' Fort Phantom fish!

Great information!

Clay , are you still chasing Hybrids or have you taken up a career in Video free lancing ??

Haha thanks for the pulse check! I�m great just super busy with school. Hoping to get out there in the next few weeks before my last semester of nurse practitioner school starts this summer. Almost done!!!! The few times I�ve gone I�ve had great success in the middle of nowhere near Johnson park and closer to the dam. Good hot spots change on a daily basis it seems.

I was close to giving an official pulse check, glad to hear you're still breathing!

Great video...I'm still in my infancy of learning how to fish for Hybrids on the lake. I think I have the tail race thing mastered. In 5 trips I have caught 55 Hybrids and one 9+lb Striper, plus numerous White Bass.

But on the lake all summer I've only caught a few. I have not tried the lake in the winter because I feel if I can't find them in the summer, I fear I wont do much better in the winter.

The lake I prefer to fish is Lake Somerville which is very shallow compared to most lakes in Texas that actually have Hybrids. The lake is only 24 to 25 feet at best, most of the structure falls off to 18 feet...then very slowly drops into the low 20's. Somerville is not very big compared to most, but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

If the local guys and guides know how to catch them, they are doing a fantastic job of keeping it a secret. The marina they operate out of have only talked about then catching White Bass.

Parks and wildlife stock the lake every year with good numbers of fry so there should be plenty.

I have several spots that look like you screen shot with your track, but the water depth is no where near the same.

Not looking for any secret spots someone might have...just need a starting point for shallow water.

From what I've read the fry and fingerling stockings are very different. It seems only about <10% of the fry survive. You often see 10 times the fry numbers stocked in place of fingerlings.
