Clients
had a good week catching bass to over 4 pounds on LV500s and ½
oz. Persuader jigs. The best morning was a 21 fish count with the best
five going 22 pounds. Fishing has been good with lures but this morning
things were starting to slow up. We had to move a lot this morning to
catch our bass, with just 2 to 5 fish per spot, with 0 fish in some
spots. Mid lake and south has been my best bet for getting clients on
fish. Look for feeding birds in shallow water with deep water access
has been the key to finding bass. Water temperature has been running 56
to 58 degrees. "Tight-Lines" Richard

At last, some rain which should get the bass into a
good fall pattern. Also there are reports of a lot of shad starting to show up
around the lake. This week we did good on LV500 from Lucky Craft, catching bass
to over 5 pounds. Last week I thought that my clients would use minnows, however
they didn't need them as the bite was on and the lipless crank bait was doing
the trick, in fact their best 5 fish limit was 24 pounds one morning and another
morning they had 21 bass for a 5 fish limit of around 18 pounds. All the bass were
caught in the mid lake area. This rain should improve the fishing in the north
end. Look for bass to move shallow looking for shad and other bait fish, they
will also be moving shallow to feed on plankton. Water temperature are running around 60+
degrees. "Tight-Lines" Richard Click HERE for recent photos.

Can't say that things have improved since last
week, it's about the same. Why? Talking to other guides and fishermen, we are not
sure, there are a lot! of minnows, baby bass, crappie & bluegills in the
lake plus we have low water but it was the same last year and the fishing was
very good so it's anybody's guess. Mid lake and south remains the best choice. "Tight-Lines" Richard Click HERE for recent photos.

This
week's report is about the same as last week's (9/12/08) other than
it's cooler and windy this morning. Water temperature has dropped to
around 71 degrees. Dress warm for the mornings, it's in the mid 40's.

September 12, 2008It's been a tough bite for most of us. Early morning before the sun
gets up is when you're going to catch most of your bass. Top water is a
no show in most cases, spinner baits will put some fish in the boat as
will jigs but the drop shot is your best bet. It's still mid lake and
south for the best bite. I would rate the bite as fair to not so
good.. So just go out and have fun, the weather is great but cool in
the morning. "Tight-Lines" Richard
September 5, 2008It's getting harder to catch bass after 10 am, so
get out early! Clients did very good this week catching a lot of bass in the 3 pound
plus range with a few over 4 pounds. Most fish were caught on drop shot from mid
lake south. The north end is getting too shallow around docks and most other
places, we need rain! Senkos, spinner baits and jigs are working well plus a couple of bass were caught on
swimbaits this week. It's going to be a very busy weekend with
about 150 boats up here for tournaments and with the north end not being
fishable in most spots, the boats will be mid lake and south. Have fun, hope to
see you on the water with "Tight-Lines" Richard

August 22, 2008Clients had a good week catching a lot's of bass to
4+ pounds, mostly on drop shot but quite a few on a variety of lures. Top water
is still missing however they did get some on frogs this past week. Mid lake and
south is your best bet, as the north end is getting shallower and the weeds are
still there, but there is a better frog bite there if you can find the right
weed patch. Drop shot, spinner baits, Senkos and some crank bait fish, as for
jigs, not sure where that bite went. See you on the water. "Tight-Lines"

Where are the bass? They are in the weeds. Where
are the weeds? They are all-over the place.. Fisherman are catching bass as far
out as 1/2 mile mostly in the area from State Park all around to Nice &
Lucerne. Drop-shot and Senko's have been the best bet. The morning top water
bite has been ok but not a lot of big fish (5lb.) or over. Clients this week (
my computer was down for a week last week) did OK with bass to 4+ pounds. Last
week there was a better bite with clients catching two over 7 and a few 5's and
a lot of 3 to 4+ lber's. Early last week I caught a 10½ pounder on a Persuader jig while prefishing for clients.
Clear water and all those weeds have the bass
scattered through the upper end of the lake so you just have to search for them
until you find some. Other lures that have been producing are spinnerbaits,
buzzbaits, cranks & poppers. Frog bite has been off and on again because of
such a large area for them to be in. Have fun out there and hope to see you on
the water.. "Tight-Lines" Richard

At last the
skys are clearing from all the fires that have been around us. Clients
this week had a good time catching bass to 7 pounds, mostly on drop
shot and Senkos in the area from mid lake to Lakeport. Top water bite
is off and on. Just this morning I went out with a buddy for just a
couple of hours and the bite was ok but the wind was up, so it was a
bit tough in the area we wanted to fish. We did however catch 6 nice
bass on poppers, frogs and buzzbaits. Both the south and north ends are
producing fish on a variety of lures. It's going to be crowded for the
4th of July weekend, so be extra careful out there. "Tight-Lines"
