Sam Rayburn has continued to rise this week to 165.01 but is showing signs of slowing down. The water is still stained in the mid lake area.
Sam Rayburn has cooled down some but we have still been catching some fish along the buck brush in the pockets. Most of them have come off soft plastics and Stanley Spinner baits along the edges. There are a few fish that have started to stake out beds but with the cooler weather the fish are hanging back some. There are a lot of fish that have moved up and are sitting in the grass waiting for the right moment. Working the drains and ditches with senko’s and wacky worms and then follow that up with a spinner bait has been putting a few fish in the boat for use. A light Carolina and Texas rig has been getting a few bites. The bite is very light and hard to feel. If they feel you it can be all over. Sometimes a light shaking on the bait will get them back so don’t give up. Things are just hanging on the edge and we need that sunshine and warmer water to get things to break open.
Remember the Sharelunker Program entries started on October 1 and runs thru April 30th. If you haven’t heard, it encourages anglers who catch a 13 - pound- plus largemouth bass to lend or donate it to the TPWD for spawning purposes. There are some great benefits doing this and one of them is that the angler receives a fiberglass replica of the bass. There is a 24- hour pager at 1-888-784-0600 Check out the Program rules at their site along with the Benefits. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/
Crappie; There have been a few crappie caught in the grass on the points off the main lake on traps. They are on the move back down the river but it is still be slow for now.
The new pontoon has plenty of room for everyone so get your group booked for a spring crappie trip.
God Bless
