Got out and pulled boards in 37 ft with my friend Chris and hit the jackpot this morning. We managed to catch a 20, a handful of teeners, and big fish going 50 lbs! We went all big baits looking to go big or go home and it paid off! Missed 7 big fish and I’m going to attribute that to my friend Chris running J hooks on half our rigs and I gotta believe if we were running Lucky 13s we would have caught quite a few of those. Oh well that’s fishing. Thankful we got to hug a 50 to close out the deep bite season! We had a great day fishing together and look foreword to doing it again.

Thanks Ed!. I guess your the only guy who likes my trip report and can appreciate seeing a 50 lbr! Lol. I’m getting the sense that guys don’t care to see my fishing reports here so I will post those on my Facebook group El Gato Azul TV and also Catfishing Lake Lewisville from here on out.

Still licking my wounds from floating around like an idiot all day yesterday. Solid work Chris. I think you may have caught about the last winter monster for this year. Water was well above 50 on Lavon yesterday. Fish are definitely in transition...

Have you seen the weather report for this week Tim? Old man Winter still ain’t done yet buddy! We still got a chance for 1 more rodeo if we can time a fishing trip right.

That’s a toad for sure Chris. Great job. I’m surprised you would let him run J hooks with all the success on circles.

I still like the reports.

Whoa! Nice one Bud! That’s a Lewisville trophy for sure! Good job!

Good live feed, watched it all..

Wow, what a toad! Chris, don't stop the reports man. You've always got the most info! We need ya!

Nice fish sir ! Thanks for sharing the pic and I enjoy seeing the big cats.

Thanks guys! 50s are hard to come by on my lake! Seeing other guys fishing reports has always been one of my favorite things about The TFF and that is why I have tried to continue that tradition. There just aren’t a lot of guys sharing trip reports these days but it seems like there are starting to be more and more. Some guys will only give a report when they do good but I try and always give a report for every trip good or bad. I post pictures because I know a lot of y’all are like me and when you see a report with no pics it doesn’t have much credibility. I will continue to post our trip reports here as long as there is interest. 🍀🍀🍀

Nice fish.

Dang, that's a really nice fish Chris!!!



Hey, wait a minute, I thought the fish were supposed to be shallow??

This is surely some trickery going on - haha!



So you're telling me there is a chance???

Great job, Chris! Your posts are always a pleasure for those of us who are armchair fishermen more than active ones. I enjoy each post and video that you young guys put out. You may not realize how much your posts are appreciated si thought I would just chime in.

Thanks Gdr11! That means a lot to me buddy👍.

Bob, this is the beginning of the spring transition. I said there are fish shallow and there are fish in mid depth. After a cold snap I go mid depth but as the shallows warm up I look shallow. We just had a cold front so I looked deeper and got lucky. I’m still learning how to fish the transition too buddy. This is the absolute hardest time of year to have consistency and we’ve been grinding to locate them last 2 trips. One thing is for certain, if you can locate where the sandbass are staging up for their spawning runs you’ll be around some big fish. Once we get some big rains that pattern is blown and you pretty much have to look shallow.
