This is crazy,the number of bass we are catching!!! I lost count of the 100 plus fish days we have had,I think it started back in April. Today we had 114 by 12:30 mostly on the Spro bronze eye frogs and vixens but quite a few were on 7 inch senkos. Last week two of us had 206 in nine hours on the same baits, it was wild.
The lake is about 13 feet low and the water temp is in the mid eighties. You can still catch them deeper but why? DD22 and drop shotting can get them on main lake flats,points,and humps, 18 to 22 feet. You can also go through the beavers pretty fast. Rigged Tx style with 1oz or 1 1/2 oz TRU - TUNGSTEN colored weight dropped through the grass at the out side edge 18 -24ft.
I still have a few days open in August!!

Spent Saturday, Sunday and a couple of hours Monday morning. It was my first trip there. I went with my brother-in-law and his neighbor. We boated over 200. A few over 7lbs. Caught them on just about everything. Especially jigs around brush when grass was present in about 15ft.

Best trip ever for me. We're going back in August.

Great reports. Going on Tuesday and Wednesday.

FroWins: what kind of jigs?

Can anyone recommend a place closest to the lake to spend the night? I am pretty sure that we will be using the launch at Black Brush.

I will give a report here on Thursday.

Went down Friday afternoon...fished the evening, my favorite 2 baits. One white spinner and one blue/chrome jerkbait. Hammered them severely. Same thing Saturday morning and evening. Once again on Sunday morning. Between 2 of us we caught over 300 keeper size fish with quite a few 4 lb fish and 2 over 6. Did break down and throw a buzz bait some, caught fish on it. Just for grins put on the C-rigged senko, caught fish. Threw that silly looking frog that Ray mantioned, caught fish. Threw them all back for future fun. Every fish except those on the C-rig were in less than 6 ft of water in the grass. Lord knows I love that lake.

What areas are y'all fishing? I am going to be down there this weekend for the first time. We are planning on launching from Blackbrush and fishing either The San Pedro area or Devil's river. We are planning on throwing some baby bass colored topwaters, crankbaits, and watermelon seed and motor oil/chart t-rigged worms. Will this be a productive plan of attack? Any tips will be most appreciated. I'll post a report when I get back.

I can't take this torture anymore. I booked a room next weekend. Usually I bring my boys or possibly a friend. This trip will be with my wife. It should be interesting as she only goes fishing about once a year. I hope Amistad doesn't spoil her too much, she might start bumping the boys out of their trips. I will post a report when I get back.

Oh yah, I picked up some killer baits while in Hawaii. If they work as good as they look, I'll post the information about them.

Can't wait to tie one on...in more ways than one!!

It doesn't matter how you find the pot of gold, all that matters is that you beat the leprachaun.
