Good stuff Grass man!

I need some help!  In Housen, West end, there is an Indian creek and down by the dam there is an Indian creek.  Am I reading that right?

If you are asking if there is an Indian Creek off Housen Bayou in the back and another Indian Creek on the south end the short answer is yes.

Thank you JCdogfish for your help.  Is there anyway to know the difference when someone is talking about Indian creek?  Do y'all call one "Indian" and the other "Indian creek"?

I can't speak for how others would refer to them.  If I was to tell you I was catching fish in Indian Creek it would be the one off the main channel down south.  If I was talking about the other one I would say indian creek off housen or would just say coves in the back of Housen. As with any body of water there are lots of names not on the maps, or on the maps in a couple of places and different names for the same places.  Some of the experts can probably help more.  Also, if I say I am catching fish somewhere you better go there because they are jumping in the boat to commit suicide.

Thanks a lot for the info Jcdogfish!  I like the part about "jumping in the boat"  !  Wish I was there now.  But I will be there Aug. 29 & 30th.  God willing!!!

Just joined guys n i am excited i live on the north end outside of huxley bay im trying to soak in all the knowledge but there is not much mentioned about the northend but maybe the ideas yall suggest will apply to me

bigpigjig, welcome

I agree with jc many names are changing but still refer to the old names. Indian creek is on the south end & the one in Housen' Bayou is just the back of Housen'. Millionaire Point is the entire point on the south side of Lowe's creek but to me it is the camp on the end of that point that cost a $1,000,000 to build bach in the 70s.

As far grass I made some phone calls & sent out texts, no one is having trouble finding "grass". The high waters early in the year changed some grass flats but they are still there.

Thanks, catt, you are the best !!!

Thanks Catt. I'll look harder this weekend. I'm still a rookie on The Bend especially on the south end. I'm obsessed so I'll learn it.

Not as much grass as last year but its out there for sure on the south end.  I think the higher water and stained water kept it at bay for a while longer but its coming.  That probably kept more fish shallower for longer too.

Makes sense to me. My main problem is I don't know exactly where to look for a huge grass bed cause I don't have any past knowledge of where they were the year before. I'll find em with more trips. I've only been to Housen one weekend last February and one morning last month. Only been to the back of Six Mile one Sunday morning last March. Caught 10 in an hour and the lightning ran me home. Once to Pirate's Cove on a Sunday morning before coming home. That's my life's experience on the south end so I have a ways to go

Whew, sorry so long winded. Like said, I'll be at Fin and Feather Friday thru Sunday. Would love to meet anybody around buy em a coffee, drink, lunch whatever. I'd be honored to do that to show my appreciation for all I've learned from y'all.

I'm hoping to make a trip up there Friday. I'll know for sure tomorrow.

Cool. Let me know bud.

Hi all,

 

New to this site and ran across this awesome thread.  Lots of good stuff here.  Heading up to the camp this weekend. Located on a point in Lanan just west of the Lanan Bridge.  Any reports from that area?  Went in June and was catching a lot of smaller fish around the points in the main bay.

Welcome! I haven't been in Lanan in a long time, but I'd imagine most fish up here should be on points and creek channel swings.

Hi Bass_Fanatic, looking forward to reading your post!  

Needing help with two things please ! 

     1. Sometime back, in this awesome thread, I ran across some talk about a very

          honest Boat Mechanic.   I failed to write his name down or shop name.  Does

          any body remember the name of the shop and or location.  ?? If I

          remember correctly, It was some where around 6 mile.  Not sure ??

 

     2. I am looking for a boat storage, so I can leave my boat for two weeks.  

         I am coming down to fish TB August 28 and 29.   Leaving for a couple of

         weeks, but will be back to fish for six days.  I have a Z-21, so the storage

         area would need to be 30 ft. long and of course have electricity. 

 

As always, thanks for your help!

Carlson Marine is the mechanic your looking for. He is absolutely the best I've used!

Where are they located?

THANKS!  Bass_Fanatic,

 

Here is what I found for his info:

 

Carlson's Marine

6 Mile Village

Hemphill, TX 75948

(409) 579-3418

Y'all hear of a drowning around 6-mile?

I saw that this morning.  2nd one in the last few months.

Catt, you got any advice for Lanana?  Mainly west of the bridge, I don't venture to the back too much.  I've marked quite a few humps near the creek channel that i'm going to try.  Main problem I have is that when scanning the ledge, there are almost too many fish lol I think they are white bass.
