Yep. 'The Dead Sea' was very good to me and my cousin today. Choke Canyon is probably the lowest water level I can recall and now know why some areas are awesome when there is more water!! Well we fished from 7-3 today and battled the wind after 10am on... I fished many of my favorite areas to the left of 4fingers and we caught a bunch of small fish, even some whites. We also had a 4 and a 3.

In the middle of the fun, I landed this 8 pound toad with the netting help from my cousin!!! She had battle scars all over!! She fought like all get out also!!

Probably 8 years in the making to break out of the 7s and into the 8s!!!

STOKED!!

Yep, it's a jungle alright. Eat or be eaten.
I point my finger at alligators, but I'm no expert,....just no need for gators.


Need to improve my LMB fishing, running out of time.

SWEET!! Nice fish and a new PB. Would you be kind enough to tell what baits you used? I am headed out there tomorrow with the wife and dog (dog has been out fishing me lately so I wont let him read this). My first time going to choke and i see on google earth 4 launch ramps (is that right?) are they all useable? I understand that the water is low but its all new to me and I need some bites to put that dog in his place.

Depends on where you want to fish and where your staying. If your going to fish by the dam area like Whata or stay in Three Rivers then launch at South Shore. The best place to launch is Callighan park, more docks to tie up to. There is also Mason point and 99 ramp, those are both river channels. Being the first time I'd avoid those 2. Bewarned though, if your scared of stick & stumps you best stay down by the dam area.

The lake was 22' low back in 2001. Heck for years I didn't even know there was a creek under the 99 bridge back in Opossum. It was actually the best fishing I ever had there, but there used to be grass back then too.

There are those who love to catch fish, and those who will fish for the chance to catch.

I'm coming up from Corpus Christi so probably will launch at Callighan but I love fishing sticks and stumps so I will be seeking that type of cover. I will just cruise cautiously up lake till i start seeing some stumps to throw at.
