Water Temp.69
Normal pool 164.40
Water Clarity 2 feet
Sam Rayburn has come up this week and is at 164.08. That’s
almost full pool. That’s from all the rain we’ve had
here and to our north in the last few weeks. The water is off color
in the mid lake area then clears as you move south.
The water has
started to clear up in the pockets and we have had a lot of small
fish move in this week. There has been one fish caught that wasn’t so small. Fish weighed 12.47 and was caught
by Ellis Maynard on a Chugger near Jackson Hill on 11/05/09. Terry
has it in the holding tank. With the water starting to stabilize
some, we should start to see the bite improve in the next few weeks
as the fish start fattening up for winter. The fish will move up
into the pockets chasing shad. Look for a lot of different baits
to catch them; from top water to spinner baits; this time of year.
Stanley Ribbits, Pop-Rs and Zara Spooks are a few that I like when
the action is on top water. Small Crankbaits and Stanley Spinner
Baits are great search baits. They also flat out catch fish as
you go along the banks and have some fun. We’ve been catching
a few on the ledges and drops close to the pockets. Texas and Carolina
rig big worms have been picking a few of fish up. With all the
new water the fish have been scattered out. Good luck and enjoy
the fall fishing.
Remember the
Sharelunker Program entries started on October 1 and run thru
April 30th. If you haven't heard, it encourages anglers who caught
a 13 - pound- plus largemouth bass to lend or donate it to the
TPWD for spawning purposes. There are some great benefits doing
this and one of them is that the angler receives a fiberglass
replica of the bass. There is a 24- hour pager at 1-888-784-0600
Check out the Program rules at their site along with the Benefits. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/
I have been
drawing names but no one has won the free fishing trip for this
fall. Make sure to sign up, and keep checking for your name.
I have had a few find their name on the site but it was past
the deadline for calling in. You’ve got to stay
on your toes. If you can’t keep an eye on it have someone
else check for you.
Crappie; The Crappie fishing has been fair this week. This time
of year you to play with the wind as the fronts move in. Between
the fronts there are usually a few days that the wind will lay
down. Then we have some beautiful days to get out on the water
and catch a few fish. We do our best to get a few people out to
enjoy the cool fall days and the trees that have begun to change
colors.
Everyone has loved the new pontoon with the shade and the changing
room with the port-o-potty. It makes the trip a lot nicer for everyone.
We can handle up to 8 anglers
