Fished with Matt Friday because he text me at 5:40 am we started at 7:00am and fished till 11:00am. Started out south and did not find much, later we found a few small schools of fish. They were very weird as they looked liked schooling mullet on the coast. We checked multiple spots and found fish . One of our most productive spots you had to cast out and burn the slab back and let it fall was the best way these fish would hit. I do not remember how many we caught but it was not 100 Water was 82-83 degrees winds were strong out of the south. All fish caught on Fiesta slabs, SSS 1.5 oz and top waters (tiny torpedo for me) in 22ft-32ft water. Thanks Matt, I enjoyed the day not working the trolling motor

For some reason JV4, Gene Reeves and I had this brilliant idea to go to the big pound of Texoma. Talked to JD and he said the bait bite is great but lure fishing not so much. We don�t need no stinking bait We are master lure fisherman well after getting a little late start because of the fine Rowlett police department and tail light out on the trailer we hit the water a few after 6:00am. We started out with top waters blind casting�� we did great�. 2 fish too the boat and hooked 2 more, 2 largemouth but shook the lures� After that GREAT TOPWATER bite slowed we caught a great sunburn 10:30am we cut our loses and ran home�.. Just to let yawl know� the bait bite is great but lures�not so much

Fished the afternoon with JV4 on the great windy lake of Ray Hubbard. JV4 needed fish for an upcoming fish fry and the 2 we caught at Texoma just was not going to cut it we started at 5:30 pm and fished till 8:30pm. Went straight South because of winds and it paid off. We caught legal hybrids and some huge whites. I do not keep many hybrids but we kept 5 plus the whites for the fry. The wind laid down a little so we went exploring. We checked a couple of place that have been holding fish but they were not there. We moved back east and found fish , no hybrids but good whites. We found some fish schooling as well. All fish caught on TNT 2oz 180�s and TNT 2.5 oz long slab, SSS slabs from Moe�s in water 22ft-35 ft water. Wind was 15-25 South and water temp was 84 degrees.

Took this when I had almost all the whites cleaned.

Hey John,

I heard the bait bite on Texoma is GREAT, but the lure bite is NOT SO MUCH! Any truth to this rumor?

Looks like you're still knocking them dead on the home lake!

Have a good one!

Stinking Wind......thats my week in review

Matt,

As long as you can run the trolling motor and keep us on the fish like you did last Monday, we can fight the wind all DAY!!!! :P

I may have to try another night trip to Hubbard, we got beat up pretty badly by pleasure boaters but the fishing was great.

Sounds like Nitro got all the fish meat he needed. Fishing can still be fun.

Now if I can only sneak out of the house without the wife knowing, she thinks she is my fishing partner.

The way I look at it is you have to have the bad days, in order to know when you have a good day. That's my story and I'm sticking to it

Gene, I still another 10 lbs of fillets, so I may be out this evening, if I can get out early enough. If not, oh well, I'll just make extra fries and hushpuppies like Varner suggested

I have heard

are you fishing tomorrow sir Varner? i'll be out there bright and early! keep an eye out for a sprint bass boat following you around lol

No, I wont be out tomorrow.... But if you ever see out there give a shout out

Hey John, I heard the lure bite and bait bite at White Rock Lake is awesome!! Any truth to this rumor?

bah humbug on the lure bite up there.
