Post Heavy Rain/Flooding Hybrid Fishing - 02/07/24 02:47 AM
I'm fairly new at Hybrid fish, I have caugth a lot of them bit there are days when I don't catch a single one.
I'm not looking for any one to pin point where the fish are, but I would like to know from some of the more experienced guys what the Hybrids are doing when we have the conditions we currently have.
It appears we have more rain coming this weekend in SE Texas.
I know the water temps were 45 degrees before the heavy rains we recently had. Lake Somerville has received 7 feet of water in 8 to 10 days! Water was 61 degrees last week and 58 to 61 degrees today. In the areas I fished on the north end of the lake the water had zero visibility. Mid lake was better, south end was slightly better!
We caugth a few cats mid lake but never had a tap that felt like a Hybrid. I still don't feel I'm getting a 100%honest reading from my depthfinders either...Garmin Sidescan and their conventional plotter/depthfinder.
So what are you guys thoughts on where they are hanging out at in the current conditions?
I checked off points, 25' flats, 30' flats, humps in 25' and 30' feet of water...never found what I was looking for.
