It wont be because they wont give it the attention they do Fork. Same with stocking. If you look at the pure numbers they stock in Fork yearly, then look at Roberts, you'll laugh. I read an article the other day where they said Roberts doesnt hold enough nutrients in the water to support large numbers of fish. Well, I call BS on that. There is more grass in that lake than I have seen since the early 90's. Shad population is high, so I scratch my head. I also feel there are more big fish in that lake than you think. That showed Saturday. www.mercurymarine.com www.lftlures.com

They are happy with fresh fish to eat, and we are happy knowing we are helping decline the sandbass population??

That showed Saturday. I agree with ya there... I've believed for a long time that the state record is swimming in Roberts, shes probably never even seen a lure. Ray Bob is one of my favorites, I'd like nothing more than to see it make a strong comeback.

I am not saying this will make Roberts world class, I am just saying that maybe at some point it will have at least some Florida hybrids at significant levels. 14,000 fingerling in a 30,000 acre lake is nothing.

If Falcon and Amistad can do it so will Roberts. Each person you work with holds some promise to your future success.

Some will support a lot more than others. Fork,he said, was a very fertile lake. Some people go to church and think about fishing. Some go fishing and think about God.

It is a good lake, but unless something really changes I don't see it being like Falcon. We can all dream though. The grass is helping. We just need more of the hydrilla, and the stockings to continue. Lake Ray Roberts Guide - Dannie Golden 817-228-5999
