For those of you not familiar with this lake, It is my home lake in north east Texas, Lamar County, north of Paris Texas on Hwy 271 and follow the signs. Anyway the water temp. is warming up to the low 60's during the day.The bass are really moving in to the backs of the coves on the north side of the lake.We hooked up with several nice fish pitching craw worms to and just inside the edge of the cover,( old cattail, lily pad stems, and brush.)If the weather holds out up there it will blow wide open in the next couple of weeks.In my experience when this happens,a chartreuse spinnerbait with gold willowleaf blades, texas rigged crawworms and lizards, and jig and craw are the ticket to some nice stringers of bass.Fish the cover with the spinnerbait and have one of the other baits mentioned rigged and ready for a follow up cast on missed strikes.Are just fish the slow baits exclusively.you may not catch any monsters on this lake but I have caught many 2 to 7 lb fish on this lake,all day long.
FISH ON

I don't think you can call it a prediction.It is the gospel..That is the way it has worked for the past tweenty years that I have fished that lake.
I hope I can find all you ppl.on the 12th.I hate fishing a tournament blind.I have never set foot on Port Aransas.I look forward to meeting all you folks.

Just find the South jetties and you will be there.
If you get there early we will be having breakfast at The Island Cafe. Ask anyone in Port A and they can direct you to it. Setup at the jetties will start around 8AM.
