shaneus Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 Cover water with a shad colored rattle trap until you find them, then slow down with a weightless texas rigged trick worm in that area. Find the grass the fish will be staging on the outside and inside grass edges fattening up chasing shad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Commodore Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Thanks Shaneus! Should I keep the worm shad color or switch to green pumpkin? Also will there be any tournaments are anything I should watch out for? Do not want to get tangled with a tournament when I'm trying to learn the lake. And thanks again.

shaneus Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 I have 4 colors of worms I fish with : watermelon red, red bug, red shad, junebug. 2 lights and 2 darks, I also use a big heavy wire hook that acts as my weight also, sometimes a little lead 1/32 oz if it is windy. with all that said the red shad worm is a senko brand color I only buy the yamamoto's, the rest are zoom trick worms. You can try doing the tails with chartreuse spike it, but I find you get more perch, bluegill bites on it and setting the hook leaves you with half a worm.......

TxGator Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Henry, just a bit of online info for you. The "site" is bassresource.com, and this is the forum where multiple topics are discussed. What your refering to is a thread, or topic, specifically "So you want to learn Rayburn" or "So you want to learn Toledo Bend". Not doggin ya, just trying to enlighten you. Have you found the "Best of" thread in the general bass fishing section. If not add it to your reading. There is lots of good information. Now Back to Rayburn, Feb 1, the tourney what marina are they using, and can you trailer? G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxGator Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Any reports for Rayburn this weekend? I was finishing up hunting season, may try to go next weekend to try and find these boys some fish. Any advice would be appreciated. Gator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfishes Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Im Hunters boat captain also, were from the Jasper High team, and to answer txgator's question. the tournament is going out of the Humphery pavillion it will be a trailering tournament they are not doing prelaunch boat checks this time. The start and stop times haven't been posted on the web site yet I think but will be up this week I suspect. I can't get the link to work so just copy and paste the address below it will take you to the homepage. Also there are some new liability forms that all fisherman and boat captains have to complete before the tournament those are located on the home page via a link. as for info it took 20 lbs to win the Rattle Trap tournament Sunday. setxhighschoolfishing.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrylewis Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hunterfishes have you been fishing lately on rayburn I havent fished rayburm in probley 3 years I only know around jackshill are they bitting good right now & are you going to be fishing the tournament on the 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfishes Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Henry No we have not been on the lake in a couple of weeks hopefully will get out Sunday to practice. The fishing from the reports I have heard is best right now above the 147 bridge around the jkacklson hill area. There were 2 tournaments this weekend Bass champs and Rattle trap it took 23lb to win bass champs and 20lbs to win rattle trap. But for most of us the fishing has been a lot tougher than that. rattle traps and red eye shad are catching fish, but there are suspended smaller fish in deep water that are taking drop shots too. Its hard to find a good pattern with the variable weather patterns right now. If the weather settles down and we get some warming before the tournament they could be going into prespawn and moving shallow, but still several days before the tournament. and yes Hunter and his partner will be fishing and I will be the boat capt. for them, Not sure I'll be much help to them though.

hunterfishes Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Hey guys its hunters dad yes it was a tough week weather was terrible on the water. I fished co angler side of FLW rayovac. Got a bad draw on Thursday rookie couldn't decide if he wanted to fish deep shallow or in between ended up with both zeroing thursday. Friday was canceled but full field fished Saturday. I got a much better draw and was able to bring in 12lb 5oz to get a check. Rattle traps and square bill crankbaits accounted for most of the fish. there were some jig fish deep, and I even saw a guy catch at least on on a drop shot in front of the harvey creek boat ramp. Water temp dropped 8 degrees from Thursday to Saturday but had climed from 42-44 back to around 48-51 , but with new system coming in temps are gonna plunge again. Hopefully the predicted warming trend will occur this week and turn the bite on for the High school tournament. Gator I'll look for you this weekend Good luck to the High school anglers.

Fish Murderer 71 Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've never fished Rayburn, and looking on the topo's I see lots of creek beds and was wondering for all you that have fished this lake regularly, how thick is the vegetation around the creeks and points or is it like the rest of these east texas lakes that have had most of the vegetation killed off? Was wondering if any of you know about currents on most of the creeks ie inflow or out flow? I see several beautiful potential spots to start, but what is the timber/stump depth on avarage. I really dont want to kill myself or my boat so what depth are most of the tops of the timbers? appreciate the help in advance... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxGator Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 How did yall do Sat? We didnt weigh in a fish. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfishes Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 weighed one at 3.77lb I gave up on my flat fish on south end and ran north to canyons but never got bit. found out this morning one of the teams that stayed on the flat down south got bit late and ended up with 13lb. so I rolled the dice and got snake eyes again. story of my life LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxGator Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Thats the way it goes. I knew of 2 spots I wanted to try, had fish on them the week before, but with the "Strong" south wind they would have been unfishable. So we were nowhere near there. Then the wind never really materialized. You take your chances thats all i is. Maybe the one in March. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
