Got transfered to Chicago but still have to fish. It is quite a bit different than Texas.

My son and I tried some river fishing Saturday and the water was green and clear, normal level, and just a nice day. We used beetle body jigs , 1/8 white and yellow bodies tandem, dragging the bottom as the current toke them and slow retrieve. We started about 2pm and quit about 5,we caught about 15 of which half were keepers and the only picture was this guy.

Want to take the grandson out crappie fishing today or tomorrow. I live in Lufkin and want to keep it close. Rayburn is about 7' low and have not heard any reports. Have never fished Livingston but it is pretty close. Just looking for a place for my 6 year old grandson can try out that new rod and reel he got for Christmas. Thanks in advance.

caught 7 bass and 1 nice crappie. got out there around 4 and left at dark. started out chuckin' a greenish blue baby 1- which wasnt getting it done. switched to a 1/4 oz blue streak rat-l-trap with the holographic scales. pretty lure lol. anyways, that was the ticket, steady bite for the next hour and a half. nothing over 2 lbs. all fish looked like these. fun day from the bank. :

when will they be there if they aren't already?

Midget and I did some trolling pet spoons North of the bridge on Conroe. We saw a school on the sounder and this one hit Midget's pole, her first hybrid. There were two patches so its no white. It was 18" and only one so we let her go to grow some more. Anyone else have any luck? Maybe its to early.

I am planning a trip to fairfield next saturday and have heard they dredged the north ramp. Has anyone launched since they have done the dredging? Has it made getting in and out any easier can I still drive on the trailer or will I have to winch the boat back on? Thanks for you help guys.

I just received a call from Bruce Williamson at Lake Somerville Marina....What a way to start the new year.......A customer brought in a 13.75. pound black bass, caught near the dam....It was weighed, photograped , and released....They never thought about the share a lunker program, so it is still swimming in the lake.......Crappie fishing has been good in the deeper water over brushpiles........
