Got there a little late Saturday night. Had to stop ny a friends house and he loaded the boat lanes on my lowrance unit for me. Fished a bit at night then hit it hard at 6am this morning. Caught 2 smaller fish (12-15" each) on buzz baits. Nothing after that. Fished Williams, little, and big mustang with buzz baits, worms, cranks, spinners, jigs, and frogs. I caught my first two lake fork lmb and the only two of the trip. I'll be back. I got to get some new gear but ill be back!!!

Fished yesterday from about 3pm till dark, ran around a lot trying to locate some fish deep. Struggled for the most part before finding some good fish up to 6lbs in Little Caney. Managed to put close to 20 in the boat. Started before day light today throwing top waters and weightless flukes up shallow, only caught a few. Moved out to about 15-18' of water around 8:30, and stayed tied up to the same tree for the next 3 1/2 hrs. Found an awesome school of 4-7lb fish. Boated closed to 20 fish off of that one spot on c-rig flukes. Once that bite died off we moved around to some other similar spots and managed to pick off a few from each spot. We got off the water around 2pm and put over 40 in the boat. The deep water bite is about to explode. We even caught a few per spawn fish this morning. Not trying to rub it in but the we had a great day!

Went out on Saturday and boated about 20 the first 2 hours of sunrise and then it pretty much shut off. I moved around a lot until about 11am but only managed another 3 fish but nothing of size. Around 11am I hit the bridge and noticed the sandbass rolling just under the surface all over the place. I spent the next 2 hours catching sand bass on just about every single cast. It isn't very often that I get worn smooth out by catching fish but it happened on saturday. I'm not normally after sand bass but I enjoyed the hell out catching that many. If not for the dang wind it would have been a very good day. And I agee, the LMB are just about to get into full summer mode..............

Rick Carter shot a TV show out of our place Thurs and Fri and loaded up on them. They had two over ten on film. It's going to be a good show. It might be worth hiring one of our outstanding guides here on Lake Fork every once and a while. I know I learn alot when I go with one.
