The Shaddox Crew at Sam Rayburn

Took a  farther and son fishing on Sam Rayburn Wednesday the 25th. The lake was really rough but caught a few catfish and some nice bass. There are places you can go to get out of the wind.  They decided to have lunch on Rattlesnake island and explore it a bit.  We finished the day bass fishing and running jug lines.  It was a well rounded day.  Don't forget this coming weekend in Memorial Day weekend, so let's get outside, and be safe! 

May 19 with the Follis Family at Lake Palestine

Went out on Lake Palestine today with the Follis family.  We fished with jugs and reels.  Caught a mess of  catfish on the jugs, and caught sand bass with every cast... It was great!  I probably spent an hour at the cleaning station!  The wind was blowing ... as it has been for a while now, but even with that, the fish kept biting. It's days like today that are the reason I love my job!

Mother's Day On The Lake

I took the Miller Family out for Mother's Day to Sam Rayburn Res.  While the lake is a little low, it still has spots 70 feet deep.  Mrs. Miller wanted her day to be relaxing, so we went to Rattlesnake Island where they set up folding chairs in the shallow water and the kids played catch on the beach. After lunch, the family wanted to cruise around and see more of the lake and check out some of the new houses under construction.  We never put a hook in the water.  Everyone had a wonderful time, and Kate said this was the best Mother's Day yet!  I know it doesn't sound like much of a fishing trip, but each trip is unique and completely up to the people in the boat.  I'll do everything I can to make your trip the best ever, and for the Millers..... I did!
