Monticello today??

Have the day off.... should I make the hour drive or no????

It's been a dink fest lately, nothing over 2-2.5 lb.'s pounds from anyone I talk to, but fish can be caught. Not sure where the big ones are, they're hiding for some reason.

LConn4 had a good day out there last week.

With the clouds, cool front/people turning on their heaters=likely plant running) I would go.

Worst case scenario--there's two other lakes right there and another two just down the road.

I would hit Welsh instead. Much more consistent and on a Tuesday should not be much boat traffic.

I pulled a 7+ out of there on Sunday. However, my numbers we're pretty low.

Definitely not the same ole Monte. I went about 10 days ago. Caught one over 4, but everything else was small. If you like catching 30 10” fish, I’d go there all day thought lol.

Welch, as RedRanger would say.....or is it Welsh?

I don't often throw a 7 inch swimbait, but I was throwing one last Friday. I only got bit on it twice, but those two bites had me shaking. Missed them both but kept throwing it when I knew I could have caught more on the 5 inch baits which I had used earlier in the day with success. I was wanting one big fish. Monti is still Monti.

Best advice you'll get on this thread.

Go to Welch or Fairfax

It must be trolling motor season.. when the monti bass leave the area when they hear one coming from 60 yards away.

Last Tuesday there were 19 trailers in the lot!

Ripnlip - I hope you had a good day of fishing!

I have heard that we Texans are "lucky" to be able to fish power plant lakes. That they don't make any money off of them. If people complain too much, that they may just close them down. Well, the controlling entities won't have to worry about it much longer. When the plant stops producing, it will become just another lake and no one will bother fishing them in the colder months.

Don't forget Grandbury

Texahoma has been hot lately

Is that next to Texarakana?

LOL.....Jacks back.

Still laughing....Welch or Fairfax...... exactly where are those lakes...
