Lakes Still Have Water

I've had a number of calls regarding the level of our local lakes.  Yes... you can still fish both Lake Palestine and Sam Rayburn... You may have to use a different boat ramp than the one you 're used to, but there is still water to be found! And still fish to catch!

Labor Day on Sam Rayburn

Today is one of those days where it's not all about fishing.... We spent the morning trolling and casting for large mouth bass and stripers... By lunch time the wind got up so bad that they decided they'd rather spend the rest of the afternoon at Rattlesnake Island.  It was their idea of a perfect ending to a long holiday weekend.

A Good Morning Fishing

Went out on Lake Palestine with three generations of fisherman! We caught 1 catfish, 2 black bass, and 37 white bass.... not bad for 4 hours of fishing!  I spent time fishing with Austin (he's 12), and left his dad and grandad to fish to themselves...Austin caught just as many fish as they did.  After cleaning the catch, Austin was wore out and ready for the ride home to Dallas!

Bass are on Fire!

Took out a family from Houston on Lake Palestine for a half day.  The fishing was a little slow until the sun hit the water, then we hit schools of white bass left and right!  When you have a limit of 25 white bass per person, it doesn't take long to get alot of fish!  So grab a rod, and let's go catch your limit!

Hot and dry in East Texas!!!!

The lakes are low but the stripers and bass are on fire at Sam Rayburn. The 4th of July was a busy weekend, but it seemed like everyone I saw was having the time of their lives!  Becareful out there and watch for lake dangers such as sand bars and stumps. Where you used be able to cruise,  you'll now run into any number of obstacles due to the lower water levels in all of our East Texas lakes.  Be sure to use your sunscreen and to re-apply often.  Most importantly...... KEEP HYDRATED!!!!!  I love to see people outdoors enjoying themselves. 

Fishing Report

While our East Texas lakes are lower than normal for this time of year, the fish are still easy to get to.  Both Sam Rayburn and Lake Palestine have plenty of water for the fish.  Don't let the news of a drought stop you from getting to the lake.  If you're staying at either The Villages or  Lake Palestine Camp Grounds, you can find our business cards at both places.

Fun in the Sun

I know that 95% of the people that look at my website are hardcore fisherman and women, and I enjoy fishing better than most.  But.... there's that other 5% that just enjoy being outdoors and on the water.  I know I've blogged about this before, and I really want this to hit home.... It doesn't matter what you like to do outdoors as long as you get out there and DO IT!  I'm more than happy to take people out on the lake and not put a hook in the water, as long as they're getting what they want. So think about it... figure out where you want to go.... and give me a call.
