Got a chance to go fishing with Fishnlz today and boy was it windy and chilly. We only caught 1 fish, spot, on a rattling jig in 12' of water with timber. Missed two others that bit the tail off my shaky head worm. Kevin didn't have any bites, but he was fishing more moving baits than I was. I got to show him parts of the lake that he had never fished before, so it was an okay day. We didn't start until 10:30, because of the 20 degree morning temps. We saw water temps from 42 to 44, with the colder temps in the creeks (more shallow). Water clarity was somewhat stained for AH, you could see a jig down in about 5 or 6' of water, but it better be a white jig after that. It was a high blue birdd kind of day, though. Hope this helps. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

Thanks for the report. If it helps any I spent 4 hours on the Canyon Lake system, than another 2 on the playas. Didn't get a bite.

Thanks for the report Thad. I know your pain. A buddy and I fished two weeks ago and I caught one fish,also a spot, on a finesse jig and we missed a few as well. I caught that fish in 18', water was pretty stained for Alan Henry. Looks like the fishing will be slow for the next 3 or 4 months.

Oh how I love Henry in the cold. Shallow, muddy water is your friend.

Fished AH crappie docks with PoNeY a coulpe weeks ago. snagged 3 bass each 8-14 inches. I was using a Chartreuse Jighead and a 3inch watermelon pearl gulp minnow.

Crazy thing is, not catching makes me want to get on the water and try again. I had a great time Thad. Maybe we can get into some more next time out, or at least better weather.

I agree with you fishinlZ. Kevin, I had a GREAT time, even though it was windy and cool. Too bad the fish were not cooperating, but maybe next time. Tight lines, keep safe and good luck.

You all ever talk to Phillip Pool he guides on Alan Henry? He usually puts a fishing report up on http://www.lakealanhenry.com/fish2013.htm. I have fished with him a few times and have always caught fish. I am sure he would help you out if you asked.

Sent you a PM Thad!

Headed there Saturday morning any advice would be greatly appreciated
