So Yall Want To Learn Sam Rayburn

[roblo]

Thanks wrp 

i really like seeing them inhale that frog!!  

[roblo]

Well I was able to fish some Saturday morning and went back later that evening. Caught a few on my frog, nothing over 4 lbs. Had more blow ups than strikes. I'm thinking I need to learn more about fishing off shore, have very little experience at this. 

Any an all info or tips would be very much appreciated!!  Good luck an let us know how you've done out on the water!

Happy Mothers Day to all you wonderful mothers out there!!

I have an SETX tournament this weekend. Pre fishing Saturday, and tournament is on Sunday. Anyone been on the water lately?? But wish me luck!

[Chuckfu]

Was up last weekend. Caught one close to 6lbs on a Senko in the hay grass. 

Frog bite for me was slow only caught two keepers. One on a pad crashes and one on a ribbit. 

Picked up one on a white spinner bait as well  

All our fish were on points. 

[backmk42]

Where have  the fish gone I've fished last weekend and some during the week in all I have caught 8 fish nothing to write home about..trying the early morning bite shallow with frogs and pitching an assortment of bait from senko to brushhog to creature catch very few on those early then try it deep on main lake looking for bait of points and structure I've caught 2 out there I'm just guessing there's no more fish in Rayburn lol I'm feeling frustrated on my deep fish ability I usually post a picture but it's embarrassing 

[roblo]

I was able to fish Friday late evening an into the night some, caught some on senkos in 6-8 fow, the frog bite for me turned on around dark, in the flooded grass. Nothing big, 4 lb'r biggest one. Caught 6 total.

Sat morning hung a few on my trusty top toad ribbit frog, to me, that frog gets it done. Again nothing real big, but a blast. Then noticed they was busting the water on the outside of the grass, tossed my yellow magic at them an the top water bite continued for awhile. Caught several fish, only carried 4 home, the wife an a couple grandkids wanted a fish fry. Really enjoy that top water action, and now is the time of year for it. 

Headed back Wednesday if the weather looks a little better.

hear Toledo had a little pressure last weekend, lol

[Tonto]

Heading out this weekend. Obviously being a holiday weekend the lake will be packed, but hoping to get some early morning and late evening fishing in. Going to go to my usual grass spots and throw senko's, then late evening I'll try some top water in the shallows. Yellow Magic usually works for me out there, maybe a frog or two.

Can't wait to get out to Rayburn. Hoping the weather stays away.

[roblo]

Yeah Tonto

seems like most ppl fish early morning and stay till about 3-4:00 that's a lot of fishing. I have a camp up there, I enjoy a few hours in the morning, then the evening till dark has a lot less boats. I used to fish all day, but with the grass growing and chores to keep up, plus the late evening bite is great at times.

good luck an let us know how you did!  Hopefully I'll be up there, if you see a white skeeter with a guy that looks like he's struggling catching bass, wave, that's me!! Lol

hope everybody has a safe an happy Memorial Day!!!

[roblo]

I stopped yesterday at the bait store in Zavalla, the lady that runs that place is really nice an a fisherman/women herself. She told me they have been doing good on the Spro popping frog. Didn't have one, I'm a ribbit-top toad guy. But I bought one an several other things. 

I had a blast with that frog, caught several nice keepers, only two dinks, but hands down I believe it out fished my top toad.

i added a new frog to my arsenal, lol. The bluegrass senko worked wonders too. Now I'm dealing with the rain and wind. Hopefully I'll get a chance in the morning before my propane man comes out to fill bottle at camp. 

Yall be careful and good luck!

I went out trying to locate some deep fish couldn't catch nothing but Little Kentuckys where is all the big fish gone tried shallow only small fish there too . 

[fishcaller]

Went out again same thing had good time catching the Kentuckys  must of caught 25 

[roblo]

I'm headed over there Thursday after work. Guess I'll start shallow, should be plenty of water, lol.

may c-rig some a little deeper, would like to find some bigger fish myself. Are they in any kind of summer time pattern that you noticed, fishcaller?

[fishcaller]

Not that I noticed roblo . I believe this weather has them messed up. We got some blow up early on frogs but they just wouldn't conmitt to taking it . Then backed out on deeper points and had good time with Kentuckys. 

[Riley pipps]

Fished this Sunday. Had roughly a 22lb bag of our best 5 fish. But the championship is this weekend. Going pre fishing Thursday and Friday. Tournament is Saturday and Sunday. Wish me luck!!

[roblo]

I was able to catch a few on frogs, nothing big though. Then started flipping lizards and brush hogs in the flooded brush an grass. Caught a few more doing that, biggest one around 5lbs.

With the higher water, seems a lot more fish is still shallow, IMO

good luck with your tourney, should be a Hot one!

[RCCA]

Good luck!

Been catching loads of 3+ bass mid lake anywhere you can find good hydrilla with a creek channel nearby. Went this past weekend and the lake got the best of me. Really wanting to focus on the offshore bite this summer. Any advice on locating schools of fish is greatly appreciated.

[dwatts2010]

Gonna Try to get on some offshore fish this Saturday. what depth of water have yall been catching them in?

[Riley pipps]

So tournament didn't go as planned. Pre fish I ended up catching roughly 15 lbs. by myself. Me and my partner split up and he went up north and didn't do any good. So tournament we fished my spots and after day 1 we were sitting in 38th place. Day 2 was a worse experience. The top water bite was on. I missed a 5lb and 3lb at the boat. My partner missed a solid 4lb up in some buck brush. We ended up with 14.84 on the second day. Lost our spot in the money. But if y'all need any info on how I've been catching my fish. Feel free to ask.

[fishcaller]

need some help on fishing deep on Sam  I've been looking around on some ledges and humps but can't seem to find no deep water fish  maybe I need head more north been working south end trying learn the lake  

[Riley pipps]

There is a good underwater hump that runs right bye a creek. I've killed the fish there before. But I haven't checked it out in a while. It's right off of Indian creek.

Ok guys, I'm off all week and headed to Rayburn for a few days, of coarse most of my time will be doing chores around the camp, but if I was to sneak off a couple times to bass fish, where they at?

Well the water temp is very warm. I would fish deep. Try 30-20 ft of water. Try dragging a Carolina rig or throwing a 10xd or some sort of deep crank. Wouldn't even hurt to try a big spinner bait or a spoon. But I'm going up Saturday. Just got a new sponsor so I'm going to get some pictures with there stuff. But yes I would try deep. Water temp is very hot

[Riley pipps]

Went out today and caught them in 20-25ftw

[roblo]

Thanks Riley

im headed that way today, hopefully I'll get a chance to fish in the morning.
