I made a post a few weeks ago and got help from bigtimfish.I bought some dd22's and some big worms.What's the best way to fish the worms to catch quality fish?C-rig or T-rig or both?Me and my buddy will get to the lake around 3PM.We will fish till dark,dock the boat and eat then go back and night fish.I need alot of HELP with the bass fishing at night.I have black with blue flake and red shad 10" power worms.I also have black 7" power worms,black spinner-baits, buzz-baits, and black and blue kvd 1/2 oz jigs.What is the best technique for these bass at night?Whats the bast way to find them?Does anybody know any good spots on the lake?Any HELP would be greatly appreciated as im new to night fishing.I will buy any lure recommended for night fishing and day fishing this lake.The boat ramp we will be using is on the opposite side of the power plant.I know there is a couple and  the one we are using isn't that steep and there is 2 little docks, restroom area, and very close to the building that you pay to enter the lake.The boat i will be in is equipped with a depth finder and we have an anchor.I caught alot of fish last time I was there but nothing of quality.I know there is big fish and I need help catching them.Also last time I was here I caught 3 catfish with a spinner-bait.Is this common there?Thanks to anybody who helps me.

Those two docks at the ramp, just west, in that cove, used to be some timber abover water, big timber, it was deep there. Good spot mouth of the cove.

Purple worms with white tails during the day. BPS was the only place I could consistently find white tails. We had 35 fish days on average for years up till 2000 with the white tail worm, left that area in 2000.

Baffle point at night, dark power worms, jigs, heavy line, sharp objects down there. Very Deep off baffle . I put the BassTracker on the rocks at baffle point and fished outwards.

That purple worm was not something I was told, its just something I found that worked in those types of lakes consistently.

There are some very gradual points, just across from the ramp looking towards 3 fingers. Its a long, long, long gradual dropping point with loads of grass or used to be grass, with prevailing southern winds, we drifted that with tx rigged worms.

      Back in the day, we had to suffer through the 4-5 lb blues all day. Every fish in there was cookie cutters when she opened up. For ever 50, you'd get that 6+ lber.

Its no joke, the majority of fish would have 2-3 hook marks, the shallow residing fish was always beat up from the bank beaters.

Try the purple w/white ribbion tail 8" worm.

THANKS for all the tips MATT.I'm going to try to find some purple worms with white tails.When I fish the 10" worms do I need to T-rig or C-rig them?What size weights?If C-rig what size leader?I looked at the weather report for that area and the wind is supposed to be calm so that should be in my favor.I'm gonna hammer the coves around three fingers with worms and cranks.I'm taking a camera so hopefully i will have some pics to post this weekend.When you fish at the baffle at night what where the best presentations?

THANKS AGIAN MATT FLY FOR AL YOUR HELP

Tx rigged always worked then.    

Should be some schooling action kicked off at the dam.

    You should know, you'll see boats make bee-line for the dam at launch.

MATT FLY YOU ARE THE MAN.I arrived a the lake around 3:00 PM Friday.Me and my buddy were fishing by 3:15.I picked up 3 packs of Culprit 7.5" GRAPE/WHITE TAIL - RIBBON TAIL WORMS,and boy was I glad.We caught a total of 29 BASS.All were nice and only 1 dink.The biggest weighed 4lbs 12oz.We caught most of them around the mouth of three fingers in around 5'-13' of water along the grass line.Thanks for all the great advice.I only caught 2 during the night but the day fishing more than made up for an unproductive night.I used 2 1/2 packs of those worms.I almost thought i was going to run out of them.Once again thanks for all the help-full tips.I greatly appreciate it.

LOL,  I couldn't find puple/wh tail worms in Austin in the late 90's.   I had to order out of Bass Pro catalog.

   Glad you had very nice day.   Will remember Culprit makes them now.  

I have found that purple body, with many different tail colors has worked on the Colorado and Concho since the 60's.

Old Mister Twister was big back then.

  From Ivie to to Buchanan, Inks, LBJ, Travis on down.   Specially on Ivie.

Dad coached around the Ivie area before it was a lake, Miles Tx.   Those colors just worked.   So any LCRA lakes, I always give purple/firetails/white/yellow a try/     Most often, they produce.

I never fished the white tails at night.  Or did, but they didn't work. Great day time bait.

   Big dark worms over at the intake/discharge area of the plant, baffle dike is the long penisula that seperates them.

    At the end of baffle dike, its 40 + ft deep casting away, its gets deeper. Lots of hang ups, break offs are gonna happen 50/50.  I started with braid and jigs.    Expensive then, finally power worms black/blue/red/ and dark big worms fished at night in that deep water brought some 8+ 's on most trips.      

     Too bad, I didn't know about dropshotting,   I think this technique, vertical with graph would boat some big toads right there and be cheaper on tackle.
