Whose fishing the Texas shootout next weekend?

I'm a big fan of early summer (May-early June). And for those wondering, the fruit jar went great! Bullet20 (Phil) made it and was a pleasure to meet and a dang good fisherman! We had 28 boats show up, paid $1400 for 1st place. I ended up in 2nd. Winners had 22lbs and I had 20lbs. There were a lot of 15-18lb bags brought in. Phil got a check too coming in 4th.

Is that Connan Cline? He just messaged me on fb and said he has 2 boats coming

Fruit Jar Satuday, June 20th $100 a boat (team event) + $10 big bass (optional) Registration, take off, and weighin will all be held at cypress bend Safe daylight-3pm Payout 1 place per 7 boats

No problem man! We are expecting 12-20 boats as of right now. One day it'll work out so we can meet up!

I'm in southern boyz bass club. We are from central La. We fish Toledo a couple times a year and have done well in the best six the past few years, coming just short of winning. You can go to our website southernboyzbassclub.com to check it out

I use a powell 723 "swimjig" rod. It's got a good tip on it with plenty of backbone.

There is plenty of hydrilla to pinch in housen, six mile, pirates, and most creeks on the south end. But don't sleep on the hay grass. With the water up, there are fish to be caught punching hay grass all over the lake.

The fish I've been on have been in 20-25ft. But there is a decent punch bite going on right now too

Just a reminder guys, his coming Saturday is the Fruit Jar out of Cypress Bend. Would love to see some of y'all there! $100 a boat

It's not on Rayburn, but on June 20th I'm helping pit on a little tournament over on Toledo. Check it out in the Toledo Bend thread.

Ok guys, Fruit Jar 2015! June 20th out of Cypress Register at cypress bend between 4:45-5:45 $100 per team plus optional $10 big bass Weighin at 3 at cypress bend Best 5 fish win! I'm not heading this one up, but a buddy of mine is. Paying 1 place for every 7 boats. If your interested, pm me. Hope to see some of y'all there!

If I'm throwing a squarebill it's because I'm looking for a reaction strike. I throw mine on a 7:1 gear ration tells and burn it through cover. The beating and banging and quick retrieve normally produces bites when other retrieves don't.

Wind does a lot of good thing for fishing. First of all, it breaks up the waters surface so that fishing lines, boating shadows, ect are less visible to fish. Secondly, it creates a false current, aka wind current, which can stack fish in a certain area. Lastly, it blows bait into an area this bringing up bass. Wind is your friend!

16lb sunline sniper floro. It has the same diameter of 12lb mono, a little less stretch, and will get your crankbait slightly deeper. It's also very abrasion resistant!

I've never even tasted alcohol, so I'd say no

That the island at the south point going into hurricane I think. It can be good around there at times. I went today for 5 hours and caught a little over 40. Mostly smaller fish with some 3lbers mixed in. Hooked one good fish over 6lbs but she came up and spit my crankbait. If you can find em right now you can catch a bunch, they as stacked up tight!

I agree with C-Rigger, I'd move, I've notice more times than not if there are big fish present, I will catch them first thing. If I've caught 10-20 small fish and need better size I'll move, but not far. Look for the next breakline. For example, last February I was fishing a tournament on Toledo. Pulled up to my first spot which was 15ft right next to a major creek channel and caught about 12 fish real quick. They were all good fish, 3-5lbs. I had 20lbs in the boat, but was having a hard time culling since they all looked the same. I ended up moving a little further off the ridge into 25ft and caught a 10.2 kicker. Weighed in 26.5lbs (my best individual tournament stringer to date) and won because of the move. The key is, don't move far, big fish are gonna be close by.

I don't think the shad spawn at those depths, but there are plenty of schools of shad out here. If you find good structure in 20-25 ft with bait present, there will be bass!

I haven't been on Rayburn lately, but the fish on Toledo are in that 20-25 ft range close to the creek channels. I wouldn't imagine Rayburn would be much different.

Awesome day!! Congrats on a new PB!

I'll fish out to about 35ft, but I know people who catch em in 40-50 ft.

Sent you a pm

I fought the wind all day! Caught about 100 fish over e past two days. A lot of 3-4lb fish which would be awesome if I was fishing a regular tournament, but doesn't help much when looking for 1 big one. I dropped one over 7 at the boat yesterday and had one probably 9 or so come unhooked this morning. Weighed a 5.66 in the 12-1 hour and got 9th. It has been strange, couldn't get bit on a crankbait, but once I figured out what they wanted I was literally getting bit every other cast.
