I will be back next Wed-Saturday. I will probably fish early, late, and at night. If yall see a white/black/red Puma w/250 ProXS come by and say hello. Ill be staying at Cypress Bend and will probably fish around Lowes to Housen most of the time.

I have been looking for a jig with watermelon/purple/brown...

Lucky Craft RC 1.5 KVD 2.5 Texas rigged Missle D-Bomb

thefishranger.com has Powell Endurance rods for $109! I have 10 Powells and absolutely love them. Have tried the Savvy (felt dead), Avid (tip heavy), Phenix Recon (good rod, but not a Powell IMO), and Cumara (just didnt fit me) and the Powell is my favorite. If you want a 7'2" m/xf Cumara I have one Ill sell you for $150 shipped...

ATX I would love too, but Im 2 hours away! Get in 10-15 ft of water and throw a 12" worm...you will catch some good fish tonight with the full moon!

Well, I fished from 6 p.m. to 2:00 a.m thursday/friday. Caught a total of 9 and missed 12 more on 12" black/blue worms. Had a little over 20lbs with 7lbs being the biggest. And Catt...I struggle in Housen!!

There are fish bigger than 9lbs in there Ive seen them myself. There are quite a few brushpiles off the points in Lowes, all you gotta do is spend some time to find them. I never fished shallower than 20ft. Friday night, but I may try shallow Thursday just to see whats up there.

Hopefully heading back Thursday night! 93% moon visibility and it should be out from dark till past 3 a.m.!!!

I fished Friday night in Lowes Creek. Hooked 5 fish, saw one (was probably 9lbs) and the other 4 either broke my 16lb floro or got pinned in the brush piles. I would be willing to bet that if I would have put all 5 fish in the boat I would have had 35lbs+. I could feel their heads shaking in the brush piles, but never could work them free! Frustrating to say the least, but man it was exciting. I was throwing a 12" Berkley worm, black and blue.

I hope to get out there in a couple weeks for an evening/night. Shaneus, keep throwing that Ol Monster worm

Fished will Bill Beck last week. Great guy and he knows his stuff. We put over 30 smallmouth in the boat with some spots added in. Had a blast and would highly recommend.

Congrats shaneus! I would love to own a place on the lake, but Im years away from that. Great idea to learn Six Mile "as its own lake". That is one of the best places for numbers and big fish on the lake IMO. Maybe this fall we can have a get together up there. All BR members who want to come. Who would be interested in that?

I'll be fishing with Bill Beck May 29th. I'll let you know how it goes.

Well good luck and let us know how it goes...1/2 oz jigs will work, just cant fish them as fast.

I would start by looking for breaklines in the grass...right now on Toledo that is at about 14 ft. Fish the deep grass line, if that dont work, work your way deeper. I fish alot of 20-30 ft on Toledo, but dont go much deeper than that. Make sure you have plenty of 3/4 oz football jigs, 6XDs, and bama rigs.

The wind can get rough, you just have to use a heavier weight on your crig or trig to fish it effectively. I rarely throw a trig anymore out there, most of the time im throwing a 3/4 oz grass jig if Im slowing down. This time of year in the clear water of Six Mile and places like it a swimbait seems to be more effective than a spinnerbait for me. BUT, I think your biggest problem was that your boat was on top of the fish. If you are casting and reaching the bank, your fishing too close. Back off, put your boat in 20-25 ft and cast to 10ft.

Ive never been, but I fish Toledo Bend alot and it fishes VERY similiar to Rayburn. Some fish will be shallow, but the majority will be deep. Get a good map of the lake and fish ridges and humps with deep water nearby.

I rarely drop an anchor unless it is VERY windy. I do drop a marker bouy though, normally I like to find the fish, idle over them and drop the bouy on the other side of them then idle back over the fish and cast towards to bouy. My advice right now would be to hit as many grassy points as you can until you find em. They are there...I promise Who is fishing the McDonalds this weekend? Ill be staying up north in San Patricio, but will be fishing further south.

ATX...You have some great fishing down that way! I love Six Mile, Housen, and Maghee flats. Get you a good map and study it. Find sharp breaks close to creek turns. Also look for points with a creek running along side it.

Well guys, fished the Best 6 tx this weekend. Fishing was tough for most teams. Had a cold front blow through Friday and the temps dropped to 33 degrees!! In May!! We found some good fish and ended up 4th! Not too bad for some cypress tree flippers lol. Our club is located about 2 hours from toledo, so we dont know the lake like most others, except me of couse lol, I try and go up ther 15-20 times a year atleast. Anyway, we had a little less than 70lbs for the 2 days. Look for deep grass!

LFT live magic shad 3.5"

If the pros came to my local lake and fished against my club, Im betting on my club members. Heck, Im betting on myself lol.

Best lure I have found so far is a LFT Live Magic Shad, 3.5" version. It moves just by water current or wind.

My Powell Max 702 is a baitcasting rod, not spinning. Its a M/F rod and it awesome for jerkbaits!

Powell Max 702 is a great jerkbait rod. I know TW stopped carrying them last year, so not sure if it is still being made or not but if you can get one from Powell you will not be disappointed.
