Drove by this morning and the lake is open, so Calaveras should also. 
Just one more cast!

I tried to go to Calaveras Sunday afternoon. The line to get in stretched forever. After almost an hour I got to a spot where I could turn around and went home. I guess people are desperate for somewhere to go.

What are y’all wanting to fish for on those 2 lakes? Redfish. Definitely not my favorite lakes, but they’re both within 15-20 minutes of my house. I prefer to bass fish, but gave up on Calaveras. All I ever seem to catch when bass fishing there are reds and catfish. I guess the reds outcompeted the bass.

I fished Calaveras this morning and caught a few reds. Most were undersized, but one was 29 inches and went almost 11 lbs. The lake was packed. I got there just after 6am and there was already a line down Stuart road. It took me about 30 minutes to get in. I gave the big red to a couple that got there at 8- they said the wait was over an hour to get through the gate. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/05/full-110703-52120-5446f970_37f4_46af_86a6_ab78b3b40c00.jpeg)

Do guys at Braunig catch by rgular boat trolling instead of downriggers? I know downrigger guys kill it all the time there.

I’ve seen guys having success with both. I went back to Calaveras Sunday morning and fished in the rain. Caught some on frozen shrimp, but mostly on an underspin. Lost a huge one at the boat that I fought for 20 minutes. I just about had the net under it when it shook the underspin loose. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/05/full-110703-53386-0c1fda8f_5b31_4119_9a90_15bf70ff880c.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/05/full-110703-53388-a07049e5_bd74_42a6_8ab0_a28a7128c738.jpeg)
