Took the kid today. Unfortunately, the lake has been drained so fast that the Blue Lake area is now a shallow, muddy flat. Much different than just a short 3 weekends ago. Has to be some grass or pads somewhere holding the early top water bite? Sure ain’t Blue Lake anymore. 

Look in the back end of San Miguel for grass and pads and buck brush early morning top water bites.

 

Even with the lake down you should still find some.

Everything I'm hearing is deep water 15-30'.

 

@FlukeJr 3 months ago the lake was at 169' which is normal

Thanks A5, I’ll explore the back of San Miguel Thursday and report back.

Hey no problem sir, hope yall catch a ton of them.

[jcdogfish]

If any of yall run across a nice bream bed and don't mind posting it, I'd appreciate it.  I usually fish the south end from Indian mounds south on the texas side. Gonna try to get the grandkids on a few.

The first two coves on the south side of San Miguel just as you pass San Miguel park headed to the back of San Miguel normally has two or three huge bream beds in them.

It was too early for beds but the most bream I've ever seen on the south end was the on the east side of Bull out of Jack's 944. Hope that helps and good luck.

Thanks guys.  There are usually some on the south side of miles in six mile and back of gilleys point.  Jacks is a short run to check that out.

South bank of 6-Mile out near the mouth

 

Look for sandy bottoms with no grass in grass flats!

Who’s fishing with the other 4,000 nuts in the Sealy Big Bass Splash this weekend?

[RCCA]

Not me. I'm out. Rather go clean up the other camp on the Mississippi in preparation for the falling water and a bite on every cast or so. Good luck, though.

I'm waiting on the full moon ?

Going pick up my boat today.  Hopefully this will be the last time at the shop for a while.  Next weekend isn’t looking very good weather wise.  Maybe the following weekend I can get up there.

Holla at me if you do make it up bro, hopefully my knee will be doing good enough I can start getting out on the water by then.

[Amateur Hour]

Will do.  I heard they are catching some fish all the way in the back of SM.  I mean all the way back.

[A5BLASTER]

Yea way to rub it in bro lol.

 

I'm sitting at home left knee busted to heck and back and just staring at the water like a butt whooped puppy.

I'm gonna wait for the long weekend next week and go with the 40,000 nuts that will be out there.

I need some help for a friend.  He has a trip planned with Jason Courville next month and wants to book a trip with a different guide too.  He is looking for someone that uses their electronics a lot so he can learn more of that.  Any suggestions?  I know Gleason has a good reputation but any others I should suggest to him?  Thanks.

[Bass_Fanatic]

What kind of electronics does he have? I guide on Toledo and Rayburn and I specialize in Humminbird electronics.  I can help with Lowrance too, but I know birds better.  If he’s interested, tell him to give me a call.  We’ve been catching lots of fish for the past month.  I’ve taken a few guys from this forum too if you need any references. Thanks man.

I went out with Jason about 2 weeks ago for just an electronics class on my Lowrance 9ti. I was happy at the end of the class, found out what I was looking at. We fished at a couple of the stops and what he was showing where good fish. We went in my boat, so it was on my electronics.

Blaster, I hope you feel better soon. Whatever you do... DO NOT have back surgery. Went in with one bad leg came out with two. Still suffering almost two years later.

Lol I don't even want to have the one knee worked on but I don't have a choice in the matter.

 

I'm bout to say the heck with the pain and get in the boat.

[RCCA]

Had orthroscpoic surgery on my knee in 88. No complaints there. Also, I should have been more specific. No fusion back surgery. Hope you feel better. Grind it out like me but it's definitely discouraging. I should change my name to Joe The Grinder ?

Haha gotta laugh... ?

Hope ya'll have a great weekend. 

They caught an 11 something and 10 something today. Pretty cool.
