Here’s a report on Lewisville over the past few weeks.
Kevin and his dad fished with me on Saturday afternoon 5/3/08 for a few hours. The fish were scattered a bit and we had to keep moving to stay on fish. They caught a nice mess of channel cats including this one on Secret 7 and shad.
Bob, Jeff and Alex went out with me on Sunday morning 5/4/08. They had a good time on a half-day trip catching a mixed bag. They finished the morning boating about 25 channel cats, over 20 sandbass, 4 short hybrids, a 3 lb large mouth and a 4-foot long gar. They released quite a few fish that weren’t deeply hooked and kept enough for a fish fry. Shad (fresh cut and live) was the preferred bait of the day.
No fishing over Mother’s Day weekend.
Had the pleasure of fishing with Erick, Kenneth, John and James on Friday afternoon 5/16/08. Four hours of joking, laughing, and phone calls back to the office to report on the fishing and an upset wife dealing with a bad contractor back at the house produced about 60 channel cats and 25 lbs of fresh fillets. All fish were caught corking shallow water on Secret 7 dip bait and punch bait.
The Stewart brothers joined me for an instructional trip on Sunday 5/17/08. It’s amazing how fishing conditions can change in such a short period of time. We fished a variety of patterns and techniques and caught fish at just about every stop. It was obvious the the fish preferred Secret 7 over punch bait and shad. We never did find the concentrations of fish like we did the afternoon before. Unfortunately, we had a really nice blue wrap up in the brush and break off before making it to the boat. They finished the day with about 20 catfish and took home quite a bit of knowledge and information to get started catching catfish on their own.
way to go Bobby!
