Big Sam May Report




5/10/13 Big Sam is in great shape right now. The spawn is wrapped up and the bass are moving around chasing shad. Lotsa decent fish chasing topwaters, Yellow magic, Sammies, around shallow vegetation in 3-6 feet. Also taking spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, and square bill cranks in the same areas. Moving out to deeper breaks, Texas and Carolina rigged Lizards, Flukes and French Fries are working well. Look for drops from 8-15 near secondary points. The Frog bite is starting to emerge in and around the flooded hay grass and pepper grass. Both the Snagproof Ish Frog and any of the Ribbit type soft plastics will work. Crappie fish is as good as the law will allow. Limits on 9 straight trips. We're fishing live shiners and Rockport Rattler jigs around fresh brushtops in 12-15 feet. Tipping the jigs with Big Bite Slab Tubes in Real Shad or Black Chartreuse colors. I'm booked solid through the end of June, but do have dates available in July. We get out early, fish 5 hours, and get in before the heat gets too bad. If you'd like to book a trip, shoot me an email or call me at 409-FRY-Fish. Set the hook Hard

Fishing Report from TPWD (Sep. 10)

SLOW. Water stained; 80 degrees; 6.90 feet below pool. Lots of trash and clumps of hyacinth and weeds were washed out from the creeks into the main lake. Lots of bass are in the shallows. Top water bite around pencil grass and reeds or any cover you can find. Yellow magic and top water bait early have been seeing some action. Crankbaits on points and drains. Jigs and Carolina rigs off ledges and structure. Crappie r slowly move out to brush and timber. White bass school off points. Catfish move out to deeper water and creek channels cut bait doing good. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service.
