New to the forum here fellas. Appreciate all the info. I have no idea how i never found this forum before but am sure glad i did.Seems like a bunch of friendly folks who share good info on the lake. Been going up to the lake now for about 10 years. My first trip was for a best 6 and i fell in love with the place . Am still to this day just blown away at its size. After that maiden voyage I probably averaged four or so trips a year up there always renting in various locations around the lake. A bout 3 years ago my 12 year old son caught a bass just under 9 pounds in Palo Gaucho and that sealed the deal. I was on a mission to find me a camp on the lake and spend as much time as possible up there. A couple months ago i finally closed the deal on a lil place mid lake Texas side in between Spring Hill and Lowes Creek. A lil deep water cove right off the boat lane where it makes the turn to the Louisiana side.Been making the hike alot more frquently these days.
So the most recent report that I can offer is from this past weekend. Fished the big bass splash and just never really got on them. Stayed pretty much 15' plus the whole time trying to find some big fish and only caught five or six each day. Fished the mouth of Palo Gaucjho and Lowes Creek mostly. I did manage to cath a 5.92 off of millionaire point that got me a $400 check so all was not lost.Caught that fish on a carolina rig mardis gras colored senko. Did catch some other fish in the 3-4 pound range but no money winners. Also broke off on a good fish.Did get up shallow one morning in Lowes Creek. When you are entering Lowes we idled over towards the right side main lake point and fished the grass in about 10' of water a hundred or so yards off the bank .Seemed kinda like a big flat but havnt really looked at the map to confirm. Anyway the white bass were up there schooling and my boy caught one aftter another on a sexy shad double willow leaf spinner bait until he was tired of messing with them. That was alot of fun. On a side note my younger son wore the big blue gill up back at the camp fishin out of his kayak. Them suckers were some good eating.
Sorry so long first post. I look forward to participating and learning on the forum See yall on the lake. I'll be in a charcoal/gun metal/red 921 Phoenix with 250XS and dual black power poles. If you ever see me stop by and say hello.
