Fishingfordollars, Thanks for the info. We made the wet drive up there Saturday and let me tell you it was wet all day long I think I am still wet. There is not a rain suit made to keep you dry that long. That lake has a few trees in it. the water is low to the point that the boat house have none under them for people to drop their boats in. I managed a limit and with the wind and rain I didn't move around to much because everywhere I looked I saw trees and didn't know the boat lanes whe had 18-19 pounds for our best five. So for my first time there I was pretty happy with the result under the conditions.

Next weekend is the 19th and 20th but if Catt cannot make it I would love to tag along. I will be out there for the week end and I stay at Caney Creek. I can do Saturday for sure.

Me and a buddy are headed up there this weekend. Niether have been there and was wondering if there was any info out about this lake. If you don't want to make it public that is fine. Just looking for any info 3 hour drive and don't want to get skunked. :-[

Well I said I would give a report when I got back and here goes. I was able to fish saturday and most of sunday all except the time I was on the bank wondering what I was doing on the water. That was a freaky little storm. we thought it was all over went back out and the rods were buzzing. well saturday I started my TBend experience in Hausen and found a few fish but nothing real big I was fishing mainly inside and outside grass lines in 4-18 foot of water. I was also able to find some fish on a couple of humps back in thatr area that I had found on a map. From Hausen I left and went into Six Mile. i could not find may fish in Six Mile but what I did find was caught on a 10-12 foot crank bait. It seemed that the fish in there wanted the bait to mave to where the ones in Hausen did not want a fast presentation. From Six Ile I went up to Indian Mounds no one told me you had to get reservation for that area man was it full of boats. We stuck a couple of fish in that area but the fish seemed to be up shallower in this area and again did not want the bait moving quick so the wacky worm was the ticket here. Now for Sunday. I started off the day by getting to the lake a little late and once I got to my first spot at 1215 road i shut off the motor to only fire it back up and run to shore. I waited out the storm and preceeded to fish the area with no luck I think Bass do not Like lightening either. From there we moved up north just south of Huxley Bay and the water up ther was stained up pretty bad and the fishing was still not great to say the least mostly just swimmers and a couple short strikes on a spinnerbait. well that is all I have lets just say that there is a lot of water out there on that lake and it is going to take some years to learn it better. All in all though not a bad week end for my second time ever fishing out there. We had some 3's and 4's with a couple of 5's and 6's thrown in. I hope everyone that lives there made it through the storm with no damage.

I like the way you think CATT I would rather fish the summer patterns also. They are more locked in and you can actually stay on a pattern or School of fish without the weather messing up things for you.

Sorry no report guys I did not get to make it out there this weeend. I will be there this coming weekend though. I did not want to mess with the wind hopefully it will be better this weekend. Thanks for the in fo though.

Just heard they are having a big tourney this week so I think I might launch at indian mounds and maybe look toward hurricane creek to try and stay out of the way. Is this a logical decision? Is this a good area to sart on this lake. It looks very good on the maps and think I can probably find a couple different patterns since it has all different types of water and cover from what i gather.

I have been reading this thread for a while and finally decided to join up. I am going to be at T-Bend this week end for the second time ever. I am launching out of cypress bend and fishing all week-end. What area of the lake should I start with to try to learn. I usually fish Rayburn but I figure it is time to start learning something new. Thanks for any help and will post a full report Monday.
