Canyon Lake May 17th - 05/17/20 09:52 PM
So I finally took my inflatable out to Canyon lake. I had only been there once or twice before and didn't fish, so it was pretty new to me. Went to the free Overlook park. Google said they open at 8 but the gate was open at 7:45 with a sign that said they open at 7, though it probably wouldn't have made a difference. The path down to the lake is more like a game trail and it's steep and rocky, so be warned. Also the rock ledges on the shore are very slippery.
Anyways I got in my little Advanced Elements and went South for about half a mile (away from the Dam). The lake here is deep (for Texas) and rocky mainly, with many rock ledges under the surface that should be hiding fish under them. I didn't see or hear of anyone there catching anything today. Luckily, I caught 4 or 5 sunfish, trolling a Panther Martin holographic spinner of all things. That's not normally a fish you catch trolling, but at least I didn't get skunked. Took a swim before leaving and it was great. As I was driving out around 10:50 it was turning into a zoo wit cars all along the road, so I left just in time.
Will load pics later.
