Rayburn is at 160.10ft, the water temperature has been around 84
degrees. The water is clear to around 2 ft.
We did get
out before the Big Storm on Sunday and had a pretty good morning
coming up with 15 fish the biggest running and 3 lbs. Most our
fish where caught in water from 2 to 14 ft off ledges and structure.
We had a few bites on the frog early and then moved out to deeper
water to try our luck and picked up a few more on C/R and T/R.
Some of the bites on the T/R where very soft and difficult to
feel, that’s where having a good rod comes into play.
American Rodsmiths makes some great rods. Just pickup one of the
Team Series up and you will feel the difference. I can’t
tell you how many fish I catch just because I can feel them thru
the rod. We had a few hits on Crankbaits off the points but they
didn’t want to chase it very far. I would say things are
about to change with the storm coming in with some much needed
rain. It doesn’t look to bad here today. We’ll just
have to see how things fall and how much rain we get. I’ll
try to let you guys now how things look after the storm.
We got out
and caught a few Crappies over the many brush piles that we’ve
put out. Some of the Crappie have been huge and the kids have
had a ball catching them. Remember get the kids out fishing and
have some fun. We are looking to add a 22 ft pontoon boat in
the next few weeks that will be used on the larger Crappie trips.
We may also be doing tours or renting the pontoon with a captain
to do the driving. It will be based out of Jackson Hill Marina
so look for more updates.
The Cat fish have slowed down this week.
If you haven’t
heard about The Bass Class on the water check it out on the website
and give me a call. Come on down and learn some nifty little
tricks that will put you in the front of the pack. Big D Outdoors
is the place to look for your new or used boat. Bass Cat
will have a new 21 ft boat out next year. If you’re looking
for a good used boat go down and check out the used boats in D.
J’s lot. I know there is a good 05. 929 Nitro that still
has warranty left on the engine. So, what are you waiting for?
If you need some service work get on down there and let them take
care of it. Give them a call 409-769-3700.
