They better be ready to be circled like buzzards and people right on top of them. It’s battle boats after 8

When I lived on Lewisville, the summer heat created a dead zone. I never fished below 25 feet. Here on the Tn River I had to re-educate myself. This weekend I was fishing holes 50 -70 feet deep.

Little Elm ramp is the reason why I put my toon in the cottonwood marina. It's not cheap but I couldn't take the idiot jack wagons that do not know what boat etiquette. Only down side is having to load and unload all my gear but well worth the convenience. Good Luck out there.

I’m back in action Saturday morning fellas after 5 weeks of being sidelined... Cloudy chance of rain with good wind should have the fish fired up or at least biting a little longer into the morning. Will let y’all know where I find them. Seeing all the big fish pics last 3 weeks has got me dreaming of big takedowns and man sized fish though I don’t expect to catch anything over 10 lbs. I haven’t caught a fish in so long I’ll be happy to just catch some bait!

Got out and fished Saturday and Sunday morning...Started out saturday spinning my wheels. Graph wouldn’t power up at the ramp but was able get it going after switching the cables to different battery. Got halfway across the lake and realized I left my new net in the truck. First hour of fishing burned up in smoke. Once I got going bait was easy in 32 ft. Started out drifting the main lake humps and landed 5 eaters first drift. Fish started to move off structure pretty early so I went and checked several other areas close by but nada. Moved back to the humps around 9:30 and everything had moved out into open water. Fish were in 30 ft suspended 10ft off the bottom so I moved up the lake into the Little Elm branch and looked for fish in 20 ft. Found a real good group on Whitehouse Hump and drifted through em. Caught 10 more eaters on the last drift and saved the day. Got off the water at 10:45 when the jet skis started circling like sharks.

We also fished for a few hours Sunday and did about the same. Cool thing happened while deploying a planer board. While letting line out on a planer I noticed the line started moving sideways fast. I flipped the clutch as line was peeling and the rod doubled over with a hookup and boom 16 lbr! This time of year there is only a short window of time to catch fish in the morning and if you waste any time then you’ll burn up half the good fishing. I had a few issues to iron out but it was good to be back on the water and knock the rust off.

Nice fish and I was out there, we probably drove right passed each other LOL. Will watch for you next weekend Chris.

Well looks like Ya'll ironed them out pretty well

Awesome thanks for sharing.

I will see you out there Ryan

Took a while to get things rolling Fredo. I can tell you from having knee surgery that you lose muscle memory really quickly if you don’t use them. My right leg quit working properly. I’m having to retrain my leg and foot muscles to fire properly after not using them for 5 weeks and same goes with fishing I guess...5 weeks of not fishing and things that were second nature were no longer automatic. Part of being a successful angler is being able eliminate all the little things that keep your hooks out of the water. I floated around like an idiot for a good hour before I finally pulled my head out...

I know it will come to you pretty fast Brother!!
