Good fishin there.

Which tournament is that? What trail?

Hey Brad, I'll preface this by saying I haven't been on the lake in months and I hear it's fishing pretty tough, but I still love fishing there. Super clear water with hydrilla, bluff walls and rock everywhere. It is a great topwater lake. And I'm talking middle of the day, bluebird skies, it "could" be on with a topwater. I always have a big spook and a yellow magic on deck there and will throw them throughout the day when I see something I want to target. Also a great opportunity to catch a smallmouth which is cool. Jigs, C-rig, crankbait, jerkbait, swimbait- Just throw what you have confidence in with natural colors and enjoy the scenery. Good luck.

Only truly unhappy GW I have ever met were single guys in the border towns. Not much for a young single fella out there...but they knew it wasn't forever. On the flip side, it is pretty common for the new graduates to be stationed out there. But once again, if I had it to do all over again, I'd jump on it either way.

If you are that into the outdoors and have a CJ degree, why not look at being a game warden? I would do it in a heartbeat if I had to do it all over again.

What/where is 944 Catt?

If you spend time on Amistad, you will ditch all previous fears/notions of how deep big largemouth bass are comfortable taking residence. Then you will start pushing limits on local reservoirs and find fish that most people don't fish for. My biggest fish of the year (9#) and highest tourney finish this year cameon Rayburn out of 38 fow on the bottom- not suspended. The other four in that bag and the culls before it were caught from that spot on this point up to 26 fow. Don't think a spot is too deep to hold quality fish if everything they need is there. Tbend has the same places.

Hey Catt, I was on here quite a bit a few years ago before Jack passed away. Just started lurking again a few weeks ago. Sure miss Jack....I know you guys were pretty tight there the last little while. Hope you're doing well.

My partner and I will be there. Btw, hilarious post on TFF ***atic.......made my morning. Those cats get their feathers ruffled pretty easy. Well done.

Don't get me wrong....I love Lake Fork as well....just trying to appease the troll who started this post to stir the pot.

Jack, stayed in the good ole' US of A. I just don't see any reason to cross those big pylons. Got there @ 4 on Friday and caught that 8-14 with a few others; fished four hours Saturday morning and had 32# on five with the 9-8 kicker; caught a couple of good fish Saturday evening and ended Sunday morning getting broke off three times and hook bent straight once. Good enough for me. ;D

Falcon last Friday Next morning 8-)

Don't know if anyone has already seen this, but the Elites are coming to town April 14-17, 2011. Schedule was just released on bassmaster.com. Can you imagine the boat lane traffic?

Good Luck!

Only advice I can offer is to make sure that you have the latest update loaded from Humminbird.com.
