roblo Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 BLGarrison, this time of year the lizards and baby brush hogs do real good, senkos are good year round. The rattle trap around the grass or hydrilla is excellent. Red rattle trap should catch you a few. good luck, let us know how you do! Quote
jmag1764 Posted March 1, 2016 Posted March 1, 2016 new to rayburn where are the canyons and popher area does the buck bay area hold good bass this time of year Quote
Red_Ranger04 Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 Buck bay is a very good area. The canyons are just north of the 147 bridge, after you come under the bridge the lake will split and the area to the left is known as the canyons. The arm to the very left of the split(the creek) is know as popher creek. If you have a smart phone I highly recommend downloading the navionics app, it is a really good tool on and off the water. Hope this info helps, good luck out there! Quote

oufaninks Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 I'm taking them. Have talked to Henry and will meet on the ramp Sat AM for a practice day. Friends did favors for my late son when I was unavailable. My turn to return the favor to someone. 7 Quote
RCCA Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Sounds like they are in good hands! I tip my hat to you, Sir! Quote
Red_Ranger04 Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Got to hit Rayburn today and found some nice fish. Probably caught 30+ fish. Got on a trap bite early in the AM and went flipping later in the day. Had one of the best days I've had in a while, best five would have went well over 20lbs. 6 Quote
jacob2000 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 We have another hs tourney on Sunday, so I'll report about it Monday. Anyone got any tips or know if they are getting on the beds yet? Quote
Red_Ranger04 Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Water temps are there but I still don't think the big girls have made the move yet. It's getting close, there might be one here and there but it hasn't busted loose yet. I spent two days this past week very shallow looking and flipping and caught a lot of bucks but no bigger females. Find green hydrilla and hit it with a trap, can't go wrong doing that. Hope this helps! Quote
henrylewis Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 oufaninks I want to thank you for being our captain this tournament means a lot to us 1 Quote
bighed Posted March 4, 2016 Posted March 4, 2016 Going to hit it next week on Thurs and Fri on the way to my tourney at TB. Ill post up a report for ya Quote
BLGarrison Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 We went yesterday morning, had good luck with the red rattle and watermelon red magic senkos. I caught a few on a watermelon red creature bait flipping into bedding areas. The backs of creek channels and grassy points where hot with the trap. Im trying to devise a rig that will excel on getting the bedded fish to bite. Im thinking a white fluke or anything that looks like a minnow, I watched them ambush large bait schools all day long. Any tips on how to rig something up for them? 1 Quote
Red_Ranger04 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Small a-rigs usually work really good. Research the double fluke rig, I have had really good luck on it when they are chasing shad. If you get fish that follow the rig back to the boat but won't commit try downsizing to a fluke Jr, this also works well from now until fall. Hope this helps! Quote
jmag1764 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Thanks Red_Ranger04 fished Buck Bay yesterday and culled 5 fish to 3 lbs thanks for the info on Buck Bay 1 Quote
Red_Ranger04 Posted March 6, 2016 Posted March 6, 2016 Nice to hear jmag1784, there have been several tourneys in passed years won out of buck bay. What were they eating? Several reports saying the big girls are starting to pull up! Quote
jmag1764 Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I was using a senko wacky worm in watermelon red and fishing along the edge of the brush. I young man near me was using a lizard ( same color and same place ) and caught a couple of really nice fish. I now have lizards and just waiting on the weather to pass Quote

Hope you had a good time and learnt a little more about bass fishing. It's a sport you can enjoy all of your life. My best to your and your future endeavors. Hope to see you all again sometime. Hope you got some pictures I took. Quote
TxGator Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 oufaninks, I would like to thank you as well. I have been Henry and Shanes captain the last couple of years. Unfortunatly I am now having to work out of town. Looks like you had them on some nice fish. Gator Quote
BLGarrison Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 would any of you be interested in fishing Rayburn with me Saturday. My goal is to learn a little bit about my electronics and just learn more about how to fish in general. I have a 18 foot tracker center console and a good trolling motor. All you'd have to do is come and fish with me. I'm just looking for some guidance and wisdom. Quote
Red_Ranger04 Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 BLgarrison I would love to go fishing but can't afford to take off work. Surely someone on this forum would take you up on a free trip to the lake! Good luck buddy! 1 Quote

We had two good days fishing. Boys were good to deal with and wanted to learn. Obviously not everyone fishes the same way so I showed them how I do it Doesn't mean I'm right, just my way. They can remember and use what they think will work for them. Good young men, wish them much success! 2 Quote
jacob2000 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 So we had our HS tournament last Sunday, and we caught close to 30 fish, just couldn't find ANY big ones. Still got 5 keepers and culled one but only finished w/ 10.34 lbs. We fished buck bay and near boggy branch, trying to keep the boat in 8fow or so. We fished towards the bank for the majority of the morning, then tried some shallow humps and underwater points. All we caught fish on was plastics, granted we had a lot more patience with those than hard baits. I used watermelon red trick worm Texas rigged, my partner and captain used wacky worms of similar color. Winning team finished with 23 something pounds, big bass was 8+ caught by a friend from my school. I think the big girls were still a little deeper, but we may have not been in the right spot for them to be up shallow. Hope this helps any of yall Quote
Bass_Fanatic Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I'm debating on fishing champs this weekend. Water is gonna be high and muddy, not my thing for sure! Anybody else gonna be out there? Quote
