9lbs sorry

Fished this past weekend on Saturday from 8-1, and it was slammed with boats.  We did ok and put 8 in the boat but lacked size.  Biggest was 3lbs.  I didn't see much action from other anglers and all the guys I spoke with only caught a few as well.  Caught them cranking points, carolina riggin, and flippin.

Gonna try make it over there this weekend if it don't rain. And I sure hope it don't . I like hearing all these good reports which end doing better north or south?

looks like its going to rain, unfortunately.

We, the Cleveland bass club has a week-end tournament this week-end. Fri. an 80% chance of rain, 100% on Sat., and 80% again on Sun. Temp. 65 on Sat. and 69 on Sun. The wind doesn't look too bad though, Sat. out of the E-NE at 5. and out of the N at 6 on Sun. The lake is at 166.46 or 2.06 off of full pool. Be safe - bring your rain gear - and keep a tight line.

I made it to the camp Friday night.

Had a lot going on, didn't get on the water till 8:30 sat morning,

have never seen so many boats in the area I was at before, around 147 and Harvey.

Fished two hours an went back to camp to finish up on water well.

Didn't catch any fish, was fishing shallow, I'm thinking the water temp was around 53.

Couldn't fish my spots because all the boats.

Went back sat evening about 5:30, wind was kinda rough. Fished shallow again with no luck.

I'll be back not this weekend but the next, water temp should be warmer. Maybe I can snag a few?!?

Good luck everybody

Stay safe

I'll be back on Rayburn April 2 and 3rd for the basscat owners tournament. Can't wait to try and sight fish out there!

You should hit it pretty good Bass_Fanatic,

I'll be back the 28th for the weekend.

Water temp should be in our favor, lol

Will be up there not this weekend but next for the high school tournament hope to get lucky and catch a good limit

henrylewis, how many teams is there going to be?

Sure wish they would have had that back in the day when I was in school.

I think it's a great thing for the younger guys an gals,

Wish y'all the best!

Be safe

Roblo I stopped by last time and watched these young fishermen they had over 370 teams if I remember right . I wish they would had it when I was in school myself

376 boats with us so like 700 kids

They were having a high school tournament at toledo last weekend. It was good to see all of the kids pumped up! I hope it remains strong

Yes indeed, that's a very good thing for the youngsters

Sure would've kept me out of a lot of trouble, lol

Wish all of them the best of luck!

Anyone fishing this weekend?

Not this weekend, I'll be there next weekend!

Looks like they'll be plenty of water, lol

Been concentrating on toledo this week. Going to hit rayburn sometime this week.

In the last fee days six fish over 10 were caught on toledo bend. Its on fire right now!!

Fish are on beds! Buddy of mine caught a 10lb 13oz off a bed Friday.

That's some nice fish, still hunting my DD!

They already moved to the beds on Rayburn?

I'm sure gonna try my luck this coming weekend

What's a good bait an color to use?

Plastics, senkos, spinnerbaits an jigs?

Thanks for any advice

Y'all have a good day an good luck!

I'm a big fan of the big bite baits war mouth for bed fishing along with a dropshot. Alternate between the two and you can get most fish that are locked on the eat one or the other.

Cleveland Bass Club had 22 members fish Rayburn this past week-end - Heavy stringer Sat. was 11.72, big bass was 6.28, 36 bass caught. But man what a horrible day, rain ALL day. Sun. heavy stringer was 9.92, big bass was 5.29, 32 bass caught.  They are shallow.  plastics and chatter baits did most of the catching.

 

Keep a tight line!!!!

Thanks Bass_Fanatic, and back water, I bet last Saturday was a rough outing in the rain.

Glad y'all caught some fish, and thanks for the help.

I'll post back first part of the week an let y'all know how things went.

Thanks again

i had someone pm me asking for some identifying way points for common terminology used in bass fishing ans what things looked like.......please correct me if i'm wrong but this is my opinion. it took me a long time to learn the terms and identify correctly so i thought it would be a good learning experience for everyone here on the forum i've included links to navionics...

 

ditches are "drains" to bigger water. when the lake was low you could see ditches when it rained where the water funneled and ran to the body of water these are usually around flats, rivers are main waters before impoundment, flats are well flat ha ha ha. creeks have a beginning and a end when people say creek channels bends its bigger than a ditch but not the river, but usually runs to the main river and intersects it and is a major highway for bass..... and a point is well a point, a ridge is a ridge......

Having trouble with these links. When I click on them navionics goes to my home location instead of the links. Any suggestions?
