JR Howard Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hello All, Fishing on Lake Amistad continues to be hot right along with the weather. Xcite baits 5" swimbaits in rainbow/chart back, spooks on topwater, 10" Trick Worms in Wat/Red and Wat Candy, 10" motoroil red powerworms are working well. Find grass/bushes combined near a deep water drop and run the swimbaits through the bushes in 3-12ft. Fish the big worms on crig in 18-30 on ledges with brush dropping into channels of 50-80ft. Lots of shallow grass right now with sunfish/bluegill spawning and that is what the bass are eating up shallow. Stay shallow with small tx rig plastics for big numbers of fish all day.

bit-little Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 I will be at Amistad at the very end of July. What is the fishing like at that time? I would assume the pattern would be similar? I have never fished there that time of year. Dec/Jan is my normal time there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JR Howard Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 The end of July will be more of a solid summer pattern than the one I described. Topwater mainly very early and very late. Work the grass/bush edges with swimbaits if you get some wind action. Most of the big fish will be in deep grass 20-30 foot where the grass lines cut off drains, ditches, edges of channels. Those fish will be caught on big jigs (1oz+), 10" powerworms on drop shots, etc. For numbers split shot a fluke or lizard around the grass/ bushes as well. Hope this helps. Also, you can give me a call or shoot me an email when it gets closer to time and I will help out with some up to date info. Thanks, JR Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bit-little Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Thank you for the info, Capt Howard! I will definitely get in touch with you before the trip. We are planning on a day and 1/2 on the water (29-30). Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Matt Fly Posted July 4, 2008 Super User Share Posted July 4, 2008 Hey Captain, Did you see Carl's nice stringer? 47 and change on his best 5, a 3lber he couldn't cull.

JR Howard Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Yeah that was one heck of a day...Fishing day of a lifetime. Amistad and Falcon make it possible to have those kinds of days. JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Matt Fly Posted July 4, 2008 Super User Share Posted July 4, 2008 I was about 6 years old when my Dad took me plugging on Amistad, he was a Coach at Comstock in the late 60's. Fished the Devils River on numerous ranches back then. Shyster and a Zebco was all you needed for 100 fish days. Have been hooked ever since. Some real gems in Choke, Amistad, and Falcon.
