I'll ask another question just to keep this sweet baby rollin'.... Did or are they going to replace the boat lane buoys that were missing in Housen when I was there in February? Makes it hard on a rookie to the area. Also, is there a site that has accurate GPS coordinates for boat lane buoys in case they didn't? One more... what in the hades is a safe water buoy??!!

Also, I hope y'all have stock in the bait companies mentioned on here lol ;)

Looks like someone ran into one in mill creek. That probably left s mark.

To me this looks like a great place to fish in Housen. It's the island just East of the flats.

I tried to send a screenshot of the spot but I couldn't get it to work...

Wow, when it worked it worked... machine gun Kelly. Same spot.

That the island at the south point going into hurricane I think. It can be good around there at times. I went today for 5 hours and caught a little over 40. Mostly smaller fish with some 3lbers mixed in. Hooked one good fish over 6lbs but she came up and spit my crankbait. If you can find em right now you can catch a bunch, they as stacked up tight!

Can not zoom in on the screen shots but I agree with Bass_Fanatic. There is a treeline & creek channel just east off it, don't deep crank it!

The buoys shoukd get replaced but when is the question.

I don't use GPS to run ;)

Never heard of "safe water buoy"?

Nice job Fanatic. I'm jealous. That's exactly where the picture is. Thank y'all for the advice. I never heard of a safe water buoy either. They show up on navionics.

You are right Fanatic. When you find them they are stacked up.  Made a trip late Friday, one Sat morning and another saturday afternoon.  Caught all my fish in one 30 yard stretch.  Probably over 150 fish total.  Tried a few other places and caught one here and there.

Don't know but Gary Yamamoto is getting richer off of me this year.

I'm all stocked up on them. They're hard to beat. I did order some Berkley Havoc Flat Dawgs to try. They say more salt and less coin than a Senko. We'll see how they work.

Been away for a few years due to a transfer to PA for work, but finally back down south. Looking forward to fishing the Bend again. Made a night fishing trip this weekend to the Bend and here are my results. Only got to fish 2 hours due to heavy storms. Spent most of the night in an abandoned boat shed trying to keep dry. Looking forward to reading and contributing to the thread again.

Its been awhile since I've been to the lake (3months) way to long. I brought my 10 year old son fishing Thursday from 12 to 5pm. He caught his first TR bass in 20fow. I concentrated on secondary point in 18 to 22 fow adjacent to grass. We fished 3/16oz TR with watermelon/red baby brushhogs. 18 fish total with a 4# and 6# kicker. All but one was a keeper. I fished a little different. I positioned my boat in 12 to 15 fow and casted to 18 to 22. All fish bit when the bait was still. We had a great time. Keep the reports coming and I will do the same. BF said they are stacked and I found the same thing. If you get bit slowdown and fish the area.

Be Safe

Anyone have any reports for Lowe's Creek at this time? Any tips for fishing the banks there?

Where would the bass be located as far as depth is concerned this time of year?

Well, I finally made it! Fished Housen until the storm ran me off! Caught 3. Biggest was 2.5. Junebug Recon worm. BASF booked all of Fin and Feather so I'm staying in Lanana. Hope to give a better report tonight and tomorrow. Seems like the East wind and rain comes here every time I do.
