Veach and five fingers is good for some tight lines, but the big girls are out deeper!

Hey guys im selling my 2012 triton explorer 18 $21000 looking to get into a bigger boat before I get married

Good luck with the sale.  When is the date?

June next year, date is still up for debate lol

She likes the new bass cat I have my eye on!

I got a Puma and love it!!!!

Cats are sweet! When I narrowed it down to the two I wanted it was between basscat and Phoenix. It took me months to decide!!! I went back and forth driving them both and probably logged over a million hours on the Internet researching them lol I eventually fell for the Phoenix

time to move in closer and hit 'em with a frog!

Fished the ROC last weekend. Put in at Umphrey's and ran up to Veach. had 5 for 10.5 first day with one on a buzz bait ( 3.5 lbs) and the other 4 on watermellon red texas rig on outside edge of grass. day 2 only produced 3  for 9.5 lbs  with a 6 lb kicker again all on watermellon red texas rig just outside the grass. Would like to get into crankbait fishing on this lake. We only get down there one time a year.

Fry::    Congrats  -  Not a bad weekend -  Last time out caught so many small fish, but enjoyed the catching. I was supposed to fish a club tournament on the Bend this weekend, but my partner has to go out of town for his company and getting too old to fish by myself.  Good luck to all.-  keep a tight line!!

sold my Triton! Got a new bass cat puma ftd, love it! Got a tournament wed next week, hopefully my fish are there...... can't go wrong fishing outside of grass on watermelon red brush hogs anywhere on the lake, key is getting into a big school of em!

Heading to big Sam tomorrow, will report when I get off the water!

I hit harvey creek area today...caught 4 between 1 and 2 lbs, crankbait seemed to be all we could make them bite

fish my club tournament Wednesday, only a couple of us weighed in fish, I had four fish for 7.5 pounds, the rest of the field fish Saturday and I will report back with what I hear. Fished Harvey and the dam with a SK 2.5 caught adj my fish on it, sexy shad color

Anyone fishing big sam? Been thinking about going fish her but no idea where to start or what to throw. Anyone catching on crank bait or are they still on texas rig worms? Gonna get a hook n line map and get started researching. Shaneus is it like TB fish the grass? Thanks

Nope completely different! I caught all my fish on a 2.5 SK crank the last time I went, grass was around, they were more on bare points chasing shad

Thanks.

Put in at twin dikes, fished buck bay, needmore point, the dam and some points around the launch since the win was blowing so hard before the front got here, didn't catch much, only few I caught were on a t-rig 1/2 oz junebug worm, nothing on moving baits.....threw a frog around a bit in farmers cove with no luck....... anyone do any better? Normally I fish around the 147 bridge area, branching out and trying to fish different areas is frustrating at times........I haven't got to spend as much time on the late lately because of work

Anyone braving the cold fronts this week or is everyone hunting?

Hunting for me. Gotta fill the freezer

Yep its another hunting weekend for me too. But I do need to try and get up that way. Ive going to be captaining a boat for a high school touneyment up there in a few weeks and Id like to find them some fish. Weather doesnt sound too bad this weekend other than being a bit windy.

Well its been quite on here must be  several tournaments coming up (or maybe the weather)  Well I'm getting ready for my first high school tournament this month (Dec 14). So we went out  yesterday to the mid lake area (caney to 147) . it wasn't as cold as it has been but  still a cold ride yesterday morning.  Fishing was slow for us  had 3 small ones on Rattle trap. we did graph fish and shad in the creek channels in 25 to 30 foot of water, but  couldn't get  them to hit a spoon or jig.  we did not get a soft plastic bite at all. water temp  was  56.6 warming to 58.0 by 3pm, but weather forecast says more rain and cold weather probably going to be closer to 50 by  the weekend.  Anyone else  braving the  weather to try their luck.

Get the rattle traps and wacky worms ready!

Merry Christmas, hope y'all are staying warm out there!

Merry Christmas all!  I will be heading to Rayburn tomorrow.  This will be my first time on the lake during this time of the year.  Honestly I am used to my Florida waters where the bass get really finicky when it drops below 50 degrees.  I got lipless cranks, senkos, trick worms with shakey heads and might whip out the dropshot.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for this thread, learned a little something I didn't know for Rayburn.
