Damn, Gruber hijacked this kids thread without actually trying to. Or maybe he did. Even the OP gave up after page 3.

All in know is Mexico owes us a lot of water...Amistad and Falcon. When did we take over control of the dam?
They owe us money. I read an article that said control of the dam was part of the payment. Now it’s politics so take it for what it’s worth. I don’t have any first hand knowledge.

That might have been it. After reading that I guess it’s not so much control over the dam as much as giving the US rights to the water and how it’s distributed between US and Mexico. Either way it sounds like it could possibly help control the water levels along the Rio Grande waterway. Don’t know we will ever see a full Falcon but hopefully it might get better.

Both Amistad and Falcon will receive significant water but it won’t be near enough to fill them.

I'm still waiting for GRUBER to answer my question ?!??!?!?!?
Schools of 300-400 bass all weighing over 10# has got my interest.

I’m also a big fan of charlie brewer and slider fishing, this is what started me on light line fishing, staying at my mother in laws in Wichita ks I found sliders at rusty’s tackle shop. Charlie Brewer Slider worms are awesome. I still fish them.

No it was unintended, but that’s the nature of a forum, what lakes ray Roberts, ray hubbard, tawakoni, texoma, Sam Rayburn, Toledo, fork, Hubbard creek etc. big lakes with big deep water.

Lake types:
Some lakes are far more predictable than others, and therefore far more successful.
We like to fish like buying a lotto ticket, hoping to get lucky and win, we cannot be consistently successful fishing based on luck and hope!
A Cove lake like grapevine that has no natural cover and very little shallow water?
Verses a natural lake like caddo, that is very shallow and has very little structure, and massive expanses of unproductive cover.
A natural lake like Caddo is the most difficult lake to be successful, the most difficult or even impossible to predict locations of fish! They are scattered everywhere, like finding a needle in a haystack!
Yet a cove lake like grapevine is the easiest lakes to fish, the most predictable locations of large schools of bass! Located on defined migration routes that lead from the deepest water to the shallows.
But we prefer to fish caddo, it’s our comfort zone, shallow water, visible objects to cast to, I have fished some of the most beautiful Bassiest, snakiest, looking water there is with absolutely no fish there, and I have fished very ugly water like strip pits where the bass are stacked up on deep points like cord wood!
Rarely does our comfort zone and the basses comfort zone actually match!
The basses comfort zone is main lake deep 30 to 35 feet sanctuary out in the middle of the lake, to fish there you are going to be way out of your comfort zone, dealing with high winds and waves, and burning sun and heat in summer, but our comfort zone is a protected cove casting to docks that have very few fish.
Knowledge is the key to success! 90 percent of the fish are in 10 percent of the lake!

How many times do I have to answer your question?
Having ears but do not hear, do not take the time to interpret what is being said.
The pro’s say these over and over!
1) found a large concentration of bass at 12 feet.
Why 12 feet? Cos the bass especially the larger bass are reluctant to enter the shallow water, 10 feet or less.
2) put trolling motor on high and cover as much water as possible with a lipless crankbait.
90 percent of the bass are in 10 percent of the lake.
But why try to eliminate the 90 percent instead of predicting and locating the 10 percent? Who knows? Knowledge is the key to success.
