how many nomad anglers will be abandoning the upper north creeks and fishing the west arm.

or throwing jerk baits on the dam…..in June? Not me……it doesn’t make sense! 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️🤪

Been fishing the west side more than the other side the last few years so that bums me out. Cats out of the bag

Cats out of the bag that lake sucks...

I knew that other side had to be better after fishing all year on the east side. It's been tough.

Ray Roberts hosting the classic was the equivalent of the US Open on the PGA Tour. Hard to make a move but it doesn’t take much to make a huge difference.

Its tough but close

One and done at Ray Roberts?

I don’t think the locals have to worry about any new pressure on that lake. That was a sad showing!

It just landed behind Lewisville (for the wake boats) and Aquila (for the over zealous warden and catalytic converter thefts…which the wardens turn a blind eye to) on my list of favorites.

It wasn't a terrible showing - Fishing was tough, but put it on any other southern metropolitan body of water in June. Add in the hottest days of the year with high water and a thunderstorm to upset the apple cart... I contend it held up as good as it could've.

This weekend reminded me of my last 5 trips to Tawakoni.

I have never really ventured past the big island and I was curious to see if anglers were fishing up there, I kind of expected them to be fishing the brush line due to water levels and temps, it seemed to me the bass were still shallow so it was not typical for the lake this time of year but I did learn a couple of things watching them.

The good news for the RR regulars: I didn’t see anything to make us “non regulars” stop what we’re doing and head up there! 🤔🤷‍♂️😀

TP&W ever done any creel surveys?... makes you wonder what's going in with that lake...I fished it when it opened and throughout the 90's ... haven't been back, probably never go back... but it's a shame, a lake that size with that much cover, multiple feeder creeks seems like it ought to have more to show... perhaps it just gets too much pressure, and the fish are smart?... who knows...
