Couple of really nice fish in those pics! I was out Sunday also but didn't fair as well. Water temp was 75 degrees and lake is full. Saw lots of 2" bluegill and fingeling bass along the bank. Recreational boat traffic is picking up now and will continue to increase as the lake level is at capacity and summer approaches. I'm guessing I was fishing too deep. Is the bite shallow right now? We caught most of our fish in 10-15 feet of water, but the big one came from about 5 feet. The majority of the bass we caught were undersized. 1 good fish, a couple that were barely legal, and a bunch of dinks. +1

The wife and I fished this past Wed. - Was overcast with Sun breaking thru periodically with a slight breeze. Caught around 10 undersized fish and lost a few at the boat. All fish came from 10-20 ' deep using carolina rigged Senkos around brush. My wife has always been a Spinnerbait Gal- but she tried Worm fishing and caught her 1st fish on a Senko. By the end of the Day she was setting the Hook with a Vengeance  ALL & All it was an enjoyable trip with very little Boat traffic. Might head back next Tuesday if weather permits ? Rio

Went out Sunday morning. Calm water, overcast, and little boat traffic. Caught some under sized bass on rattle trap in about 15-20 feet of water. Caught a nice 14" Crappie on a top water of all things. Must have been hungry. Most activity I have seen in a while. Looks like things may be picking up! Water temp was at 76.4. Tons of bait fish in coves next to the shore.

I know most of you guys are bass fisherman, but I have had me catfish jugs out since Thursday 05/23, I have caught more "HUGE" soft shell turtles these last few days that I have in the 15 years I have been fishing the lake, it has been crazy.

The two marinas Joe's and Red's have been and are charging $15 to launch. Perhaps Bandera's county ramp wants to jump on the boat by increasing their fees now since the lake is holding her level. Debra

Supposedly the county park is raising its admission prices to launch... I can't really fault those folks cashing in with less than a handful of public access ramps around the lake, and the fact that a full Medina Lake is as rare as hens teeth, and has been waaaay down over decades more than it has ever been up, and that goes back to when I was a kid in the early 60's fishing for whitebass in the river channel, where there was once a lake. Not long ago that lake was about to dry up, so Medina is boom or bust, but mostly bust!
Just one more cast!
