I don't know how many times I have to say this. I said it on multiple occasions, and I say it every year. Do you want to stringer that looks like this:  Well that is what your stringer will look like if you take your boat up Rowlett Creek! I can't tell you enough, that, your boat spooks the freaking fish. All I'm here to do is help. I'm getting reports of one person that keeps going up the Creek. That person is blanking every time, and telling people that the fish are not there yet. And this is a person that should not blank. The main school is from 66 to the bike trail parking lot at Castle. Let me ask you this: Have I ever said don't take your boat up the creek? There is a freaking reason I don't take my boat up the creek or the run. Because it spooks the fish! Dam. So, that is the last time I say that. This statement only is addressed to Lake Ray Hubbard people. I've only been fishing the creek for 15 to 16 years, I think it's safe to say: I know what's going on. The best way to fish the creek, is using these:  If you use your feet power, this is what you can expect to catch:  So with that said, the above picture was from today and as well the below picture. It was a slow day due to the air pressure was rising on us all morning. My clients for the day said they were having a ball but I was still telling them that it was slow. They didn't really believe me, but a fast day- a normal day, you catch one every cast if you're fishing my way. I have all the information up on this post for you guys to catch fish. If you stick to my little bubble and stay in it, you will catch a lot of fish. If you go outside of my bubble, good luck to you.  I canceled my PM trip for this afternoon due to the air pressure had shut the fish down. We would still catch a limit but it would take the whole six hours to catch a two man limit. That's just the way I roll. So if you have a trip with me, and I call you and give you a "option to rescedule", there is a reason for it. I would take my option and reschedule. If the fishing is slow I don't want to drag you into the creek and only catch half the limit. I want you guys to have fun and catch as many fish as you can within the 5 to 6 hours till you get bored of catching them. In spots in the Creek, you can see over 500 Fish sitting in front of you at any given moment. The fish travel upstream as far as they can to spawn in the shallows. Taking your boat up The creek will do you no good. ( Did I say that again?) -well, believe it.

TarponFly,I went out to RC two days ago, and just like you said there were hundreds of Whites and some pretty big LMB's swimming around. I went to the pipeline about 100 yds downstream of hellhole. I Got there late (10 am), but still managed a couple fatties on minnows just like you posted. I tried the flukes without a weight, but no takers. Are you using a jighead with these or am I doing this right with just the #4 hook? I have caught some LMB with this presentation using flukes on Sam Rayburn, but I'm not too familiar with sandies. Thanks

Only in shallow water. 1-4 ft. #4 or #6 hook. Hook the fluke like if it had eyes. It's in one of my videos in my YouTube link below.

Fishing was great this morning, and then plumited. Air pressure dropped rapidly shutting the bite down. A few spirts here and there. But slow. -slow to me is a fish every 5 mins. I am used to a fish every cast. Or at least a strike. But there is nothing u can do but wait them out and see if the weather stables out. This morning was great and the jig bite was on. My client caught two on the first two casts. An hour later it slowed down to a fish every 5-10 mins with minnows. Lures no workie when the weather is unstable. Another tip: don't go to shallow waters and throw slabs. They don't work. Lol So ya, Andy and his wife caught a couple here and there, and they both got to hold up the stringer for a hero picture.   But, they both actually got a limit to hold up!  So did Marcus!  Slow day, but better than being at home.

 Well, I decided to hit the water today and waited for the weather to chill out a bit and got in the truck and went. The first spot I hit I caught two and under five minutes. Decided it wasn't enough action for me so I went Way upstream approximately a mile and started fishing again. Ended up limiting out in 19 minutes after I got to the second hole. Slow day in paradise. A bit chilly too.

Yesterday I took Al out to the creek. Caught about 30-35 on the fly rod and had lots of long distance releases.   Today we had 2 limits taken. After I was done with the morning guys, I headed down for a limit. 20 mins later I was done with my limit.
