back water Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Did not get much response from my last post requesting the condition of Raburn. I guess most are not fishing because of the weather. Anyone been on the lake?? What is the lake level, clarity, how about the grass line, what depth are the fish holding in?? Have a one day tournament on Feb. 15 on the South end of the lake out of Umphrey's Pavilion. Don't know much about the South end. All info appreciated. Thanks Backwater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfishes Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 lake level 160. 70 or so rising slowly due to light rain in the area this morning. Fished the north end yesterday had 3 solid 3lb's all shallow on traps or jerk baits (On flats with deep water close by) Didn't get any bites till the sun came out. Water temp to start early was 44.5 after sun came out by 3pm had warmed to 50.3 in back of creeks. Weather today is light rain temp in Lufkin at 12:00 pm was 43 with freezing rain predicted next 2 nights. supposed to be a warming trend begining thursday. But I would expect to find water temps only in the high 40's or maybe low 50's by Saturday. The BFL was this weekend and I believe most of the good bags (there weren't many) came from the 147 bridge, canyons & harvey creek areas but can not confirm that 100% And Mr. Newberry won that one so expect he will be tough this weekend.

back water Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks for the info hunterfishes. Looking forward to the first trip. Been a long time since I have been on the water. I will have a couple of rattle traps tied on. one red for sure. Friday is supposed to be quite warm so maybe the water temp will get up to 50. I read all the posts almost every day and appreciate that you like getting out on the water at such an early age. Keep a chunk'en and keep a tight line.

hunterfishes Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hope the info helps We will be on Toledo this weekend, but we have one coming up on Conroe in April, and we know very little about that lake.

back water Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Here is the scoop with the Texas Team Trail on Rayburn today: 251 boats 39 boats with over 15 lbs. 12 boats over 20 lbs 5 bass over 9 lbs. Winning stringer 35.14 lbs - Wow!! over a 7 lb. average - Must have found a staging area of big Mamas' We had only 4 bites, and landed all 4 and weighed 3 for 5.38 lbs. - not good 2 came on a wacky worm, 1 on a rattle trap, and 1 on a chatterbait water temp as high as 53 in the back of some of the creeks There on the move, go if you can - keep a tight line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterfishes Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 back water don't feel bad We fished the Ignition bass tourney Sunday and had same luck could not get a trap bite and finally backed out to outside grass on carolian rig and wacky worm caught 5 weighed 3 for 4.79 Water temp as High as 55 in back of coves but no fish in the shallows we could find, The 3rd place stringer of 15 or so did say there fish were real shallow. but we weren't in the right area I guess. I'm not sure if they were in a cove or on points though. due to foggy conditions I stayed in the 147 area and didn't run north. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
back water Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 hunterfishes: Fished a club tournament on Conroe on Sunday. We fish team in the club. There was 11 boats and only 10 total bass caught. 1 boat got on them and weighed 5 fish for 20+ lbs. We came in 2nd with only 1 fish, but it was a nice one - 7.93 lbs.

hunterfishes Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Good morning everyone I am posting for my son hunter and his partner they were scheduled to fish the high school tournament on sam rayburn this weekend. but while we were prefishing last friday we lost the lower unit on our 250 (think it broke a driveshaft) I have it in the shop but not sure at this time if it will be ready. The boys are sitting in 36th place right now and could make a move up the standing with a good limit this weekend. I was checking to see if anyone knows of someone whould be willing to boat capt. for them this weekend or if there is somewhere to rent a boat for the event. I'll try anything at this point.We will know today or tomorrow if they can get our boat ready, but was told it would be a long shot.any help/advice would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxGator Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Man thats a tough thing to happen this time of year. Hope it works out. Id offer, but Im already booked. You might also post over on the TB thread too. good luck G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bass_Fanatic Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 I would, but I've got a tournament on Toledo this Saturday. You can probably find a place that rents, but I'm not positive. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
