The dog days of summer are in full swing and fishing is GREAT, then good, then not so good then good again. Totally depends on the day and if you can get a school of fish to slow down enough to hit a slab or bait.

Artificials are out catching live bait, no doubt. We had several stripers today caught off of slabs from Fle-Fly. Our big fish of the day came out of 15ft and hit a red and white bendable minnow. We tried throwing other artifiials but the bendable minnow was what they wanted.

Two things i've noticed. Slow your presentation down and when you think you've got it slow enough...slow it down a little more. Also, try down-sizing your bait. The 3/4 - 1oz sizes are killer right now.

Keep moving till you find fish (which isn't hard to do), but stick w/ the school for a while to see if you can trigger a bite. The large schools we are finding arn't feeding hard right now but out of a group of fish, you can normally get a few to bite.

Nice job Salsa As always.

Good report and nice fish.

Thanks Tony! The fishing seems to be good on most days. It's a couple here and there that are tough. We had one of those on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday were good though.

Lots of "wolf pack" groups of fish out there. Bunches of bout 75 fish in a group. Maybe I should call them "Cheetah packs" cause by the time I turn around to fish them, they are GONE!

Do I see some clouds in the forecast?

It is looking like rain her in Arlington. Fingers and ttoes are crossed.

Nice fish. They are always on a fast move this time of year. It can be very hard to stay on them once you find them.

Fast? More like super sonic speed. Took a screen shot of a GAZ-ILLION striper yesterday. Turned around and they were MIA!

Great shots

Way to go Heart of Texas guys!!

Is there any other place to live? I tried Colorado once, but got back to Texas as fast as I could.

Nice report and fish. I have got to get some of that action.

I got my bendable minnows in the mail a few weeks ago! I need to introduce them to some fish!

tell you what, we have thrown a smorgasbord of baits the last week and nothing has fished as consistent as the bendable minnow. I think it's because you can bend it and it flutters down and is a "slow" slab. Whatever the reason, it's working so I ain't complaining.

Love me Texas I lived in West Virgina omce for two years. It was nice but nothing like Texas. If you can stand the Heat its the best place to live

Headed out catfishing for tha night but had to chk a FUN spot first...

First cast!





The minnow slab does it again!

Ok...now it's time to go catch a biggun!
