Sam Rayburn is still falling this week to 164.38.  The water is starting to clear and some of the water in the back is clear around 3 to 4 ft.   

Sam Rayburn has been holding on to a lot of fish this year as winter put these fish into a tail spin.  We have found fish up in the buck brush one day then none the next. They seem to have just vanished. In all reality they've just moved out to the grass line and been holding tight. We've been catching some on senko's and wacky worms but you really have to soak the bait to get them to bite.  We have also been running some of the outside grass lines with Stanley Spinner Bait and covering a lot of water and picking up fish. White and Chartreuse have been two of the colors we've been having some luck with.  Don't be afraid to change colors if you're not catching anything. Crankbaits has been getting a few fish to bite in 6 to 12 ft range, keeping it touching the grass is key here.  Carolina and Texas rig on the points and creek channels has been getting a little better but it's still slow. Well Sam Rayburn is running out of time on the Sharelunker program.  Don't give up the summer bite as the top water is just getting started.


Remember the Sharelunker Program entries started on October 1 and runs thru April 30th. If you haven't heard, it encourages anglers who catch a 13 - pound- plus largemouth bass to lend or donate it to the TPWD for spawning purposes. There are some great benefits doing this and one of them is that the angler receives a fiberglass replica of the bass. There is a 24- hour pager at 1-888-784-0600 Check out the Program rules at their site along with the Benefits. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/sharelunker/

Crappie; We have caught a few fish in the grass in the back of the pockets and have started to catch some off the brush piles in a few places.  Things are starting to kick off for the crappie fishermen.  From what we have seen the eggs are not ready on most of them.  Hopefully things will improve in the grass.  The new pontoon has plenty of room for everyone so get your group booked for a crappie trip and get out and have some fun.
