I fished Bonham today, from 1230 to 430 pm. First time on the lake. Bought the pass at Kwik Check. I got skunked. Got 2 bites and missed both of them. The lake looks fishy, and it sounds like others have success, so I guess I will try it again sometime when I can get there for the early morning.

I fished a shad spinnerbait, yellow/black back shallow crank, had a brief attempt with a carolina rig, shaky head, and drop shot..... No success. I tried the creeks, especially docks in the creeks, hit the cattail edges some, and the rocks at the bridge on the west side.


I can almost always pick up a few fish with a shaky head.....so I was a little frustrated.

Only one jet ski was aimlessly zipping back and forth in front of me, so not a lot of pleasure boating today.

I marked some fish in deeper water (12-15) out in the main lake, but it was too windy for my trolling motor to keep up out in that area, so I couldn't fish it effectively.

Water temp was 65-68.

Bridges and the dam has been holding some nice ones even with the water temps getting high im catching most of my fish out 6-12ft

you got a pm

Some really nice fish there. Usually do well fishing the reeds an shallow cover with jigs.

Chartreuse Spinner baits in the back coves. We did some work on them this weekend. All caught in no deeper than 4 feet of water.

Thanks for the information guys. Thanks for the PM charger boat man.

I don't fish tourneys yet, still trying to learn how to catch 'em more consistently before I start putting any money on the line, so I appreciate the information.
