Tried to prefish for the RH tourny me and my son but no luck!! Wind got crazy.Fished hard from 8 to12 and nothing to speak of,was just wondering if anybody had any luck today.Burned about 15 gallons of gas for 3 fish,maybe we shouldn't enter.Any help would be great.Thanks guys,still fun though!!

Don't give up! Email me. Did you rty shallow? On humps?

Today's Report Click Here

Most fish are holding to structure about 18-28ft. Also look shallow for shad and the fish will be there. I had to spot them with the graph a couple of times they where laying right on bottom. Little bumps then they would get bigger as we slabed them up.

Thanks john I'll see what I can do!!!

Fish sitting on bottom


Fish stacked up on a hump


If you notice on this one the old river runs beside it, fish use this as a high way.


On this one you will notice a depth change with old river bends that run beside it.


Hope this helps

Nice mini lesson... Cousins fished RH yesterday near Rp and the I30 rip rap and did good... were rubbing it in I had to work... paybacks come in spades.

Thanks for the informative maps, John. Now I do not have to follow Ruben next Saturday.

I'm telling you. Y'all are gonna be wasting your time following me or my Yellow Tahoe around on Saturday!! JV4Nitro is the one y'all need to be following. He fishes Hubbard way more than me and always has the infamous John Varner on his boat!!

Heck, I might just go ahead and concede the tournament to Team Nitro now!!

Follow me? Well, if big yelow bass is what you are after, I'll put you on them Too bad the upcoming tourney isn't for the largest yellow bass, because I've got those spots down

Just follow the Yellow Tahoe and you'll catch the big ones. That's what I'm going to do, but in stealth mode

John what typ of sonar are you using?

All i can tell u is my boat was bought in perfect condition.A 97 22'1 champion the guy used it for 2 years and put in storage.Im guessing the fish finders are 11 years old.My brother said thy used to be the s$@# back in the day but he or i can make no sense of them.Trying to get a finder before this weekend.Want to spend around 500$ for my trolling motor finder any hints guys

You can go with the Lowrance
X-510c

or a little more you can have GPS with the Eagle 640c
Eagle� FishElite 640C or 642C Color Sonar/Chartplotters

or if you do not mind not having color the Eagle 480 Eagle� FishMark� 480 Fishfinder

You want at least 480X480 pixel... I do suggest color, way better to see in the sun. The Eagle 640c is a great combo. Also you want the best graph on the consol to find the fish, once you locate them you can stay on top of them with the one on the trolling motor. Waht are the graphs you have now?
