LONG, LOOONG story short is this. I/we haven't got to go fishing in about the last 3+ years due to my wife's illness and then her passing. When I worked up enough want-to to go fishing, the boat needed tending to, carburetors, batteries, trolling motor, trailer tires.....ya know, STUFF!!!
Well, the rig is ready and willing, so am I !!!!! I fish mainly on Ray Hubbard because it is so close. I have been out there 4 times and only had enough fish for 4 taco's!!! How can the old patterns change that much? I can find them on the Garmin, but can't seem to get anything to bite!!!

The threads about the tail-spinners is a very interesting one, indeed. Gonna make some up today!!!!!!!

ANYONE? ANYONE??

Call guide John Varner. He's been doing really well. I haven't been on hubbard a couple of years so can't help ya.

I agree with Todd. Call John Varner and ask him to take you on a fish and learn. I’m did this about 15 years ago and it gave me a lot information that I was able to build on over the years. It saved me lots on gas and frustration. He also became a friend in the process. He’s great guy with a wealth of knowledge.

I agree about contacting John Varner. 214-384-5801

Shoot me a PM I am on the lake every weekend. I second the Varner advice as well, he showed me how to catch the fish last year I have been on them ever since.

Sorry to hear your long short story. Wishing you all the best at keeping on and finding the fish.

Dog Days of summer are here. Fish are moving fast and want smaller baits. Try slabs with a couple of Crappie Jigs tied above it. Thumpers and splashers will helping keep fish under you. Try the deep-water points and mid lake humps off the levees. Top water has been for a short time early in the morning but want last long.

I agree with the others JV Guide Service John is a great choice he can catch fish in the parking lot!
