Ops

This why I'm fishing 6-8' & catching bigger bass & why I'm planning on moving to 8-12' soon.

Good point Catt...I thought about that last week, but couldnt buy a fish in deeper water, then moved up in the hay grass and started catch some good fish...one that went 5lbs. I do beleive that most fish have spawned out by now and are headed deeper. The shad spawn should be early this year too, so the grass in 8 fow should hold some hungry bass feeding on shad! Get your jerbaits and flukes ready!!

The Bream spawn will be early as well

Gonna go out in the morning and try to find some fish for a tournament sunday. Hope to find some early morning top water action and then back off into 8-12 foot with a jig and c-rig.

They started generating. 24 hrs. till further notice.

Gotta get out there.

So how'd you do??

So how'd you do??

Not to well, tried deep, top water, shallow, dynamite, nothing was working well. Saw a few on beds and caught a 3 shallow. A 4 won the weekly big bass tourney out of alpine this evening.

For the majority post-spawn, post frontal & this ole Catt stayed home!

Im with you Catt. Wife tried to make me leave the house for the weekend. I decided to paint the house so that its done and I dont have to do it on a good weekend.

I may go tomorrow. It's a toss up.

this weekend was great.. fished saturday... partner and i caught about 40, all on beds, sight fishing.... didn't catch any real bigguns, saw a few, but they were VERY spooky....

Don't want burst your bubble but a brand new trailer @ Academy is $499.99.

I would never by one with tires smaller than 13"

Six Mile ,

Where were you fishing last Saturday? What were you throwing.

We fished North and struggled .

fished housen and 6mile.... flipped buck brush all day... almost all fish were caught in 1-2 fow.. I MEAN SHALLOW!!!!... we flipped our baits as far back into the brush we could.. some of the fish were in water as shallow as 8-10 inches....

there was lots of other boats near us and i noticed they were struggling, mainly because they weren't fishing shallow enough, most of them were just casting up to the bushes, not back behind them....

we saw upwards of 40 beds in the 3-4 foot of water range, but those fish were simply uncatchable.. they had seen hundreds of baits and boats, and they were spooked....

Beding bass in Housen' & 6-mile?

lots of em'....

You maybe catching bass in shollow buck brush but doubt they are on beds.

I live in the Housen' - 6 mile area

Fished yesterday. Didn't do well. Should have saved my gas money. The biggest fish I saw was when I launched at the rec site. Bout a 4 pounder in about 6 inches of water with a bunch of babies. Could have netted it from the bank as I walked right up to it. Watched it for a little while. Looked like she was trying to lead them somewhere.

No doubt about it about males are guarding fry but nest behind buck brush!

First the 1-2' of water behind the buck brush was not there 2-3 weeks ago.

The nests in Housen' & 6-Mile were at or near the front of the buck brush because this is the water lever was. As the level rose the bass did not pickup & move their nest.

The higher level has scattered the bass into the buck brush but these are males.

not trying to start a debate... but 13-14 of the 30+ fish we caught were females that still had eggs in them.....

You are the only person on the entire lake reporting this

I heard some outstanding reports from friends who have started night fishing tonight with buzz baits.

There also a report of a 10 year old girl who landed a 10+ while fishing with guide Joe Jostling.

Joe Joslin, I hate touch screens

Catt,

I have to agree with Six Mile. Not all of the bass have spawned we are still catching bass full of eggs.

Fished in the Cameron Valve tournament last weekend 47 boats. Lots of bass weighed in had eggs.

We caught a few in six mile with eggs. Talked to one guide that said some were on beds up hurricane.

My partner fished yesterday evening in the hickory ridge area. He only fished 2 hours and had 9 legal fish a 3.7, 5.8 and the rest in the 2-3lb range. Caught all on flukes in 2 ft or less water. Several could have been males but I doubt the 5.8 and 3.7 were.
