Fishing is just tough right now, it always is during June/July. It has nothing to do with the population of fish. Daniel and I have caught some of our biggest bags on Belton this year and Daniel also caught his personal best, an 11 lber last month. Its still taking some fairly decent fish to win the Wednesday night jackpots.

Belton has always been a good smallmouth lake, and personally I'm glad that they stock it.

If you aren't good at using your electronics and fishing deep you aren't going to fare very well on Belton or Stillhouse this time of year. Both lakes fish extremely deep. You have to have some patience, but when you find them they are bunched up.

My five year old son had a 6 lber on last Wednesday and there were several fish weighed over 3 1/2 lbs last Wednesday.

You guys that are struggling might try fishing at night, you can fish shallow and still catch good ones on tx rigs and jigs. Otherwise you are going to have to get comfortable fishing deep and using your electronics. And you can't just pull up to any random point and catch them, you're going to have to fish and put the time in to find the most productive ones.

Don't give up fellas, they are still out there.
