Hey folks! Its been a few days since my last blog update so here's whats been happening on Ray Hubbard.

The past week the water temps have continued to climb up to near 80 degrees in the afternoon.  The fish i've been catching have been anywhere from 24-31ft of water near deep structure like humps and ridges.  A few days late last week we had some fish stacked up near rocky points in 18ft but it only lasted a few days.  There was a nice shad spawn happening and the fish were feeding on them when they left the shallows and ventured back into the deep.

The past 2 weeks I have really been looking hard to find the topwater action scattered around the lake but it has been virtually nonexistent.  There hasn't been anything organized, other than maybe a half a dozen splashes here and there.  I checked my notes from years past and its definitely supposed to be happening...but for some reason it isn't.  That said, it doesn't mean the fish aren't feeding.  It seems that you really dont have to wake up early on Hubbard lately.  I've been starting trips around 8am and its "game on" when we leave the marina.  Weird!?

Around 8am every day the fish are getting stacked up on top of the humps in 24ft.  Only 1 day this past week did I find them in 31ft and I think I just ran into them right before they came to the top of the structure.  Maybe a little luck? hahaha!

I've been fishing with either Moe's Peekwi or Godfather slabs...whichever I happen to find first when I break one off. :) It really hasn't mattered.  They're wanting it hopped very quick off the bottom.  Pick it up quick and let it flutter down.  Very simple

I had a few days where we really went and targeted the hybrid and Hubbard didnt disappoint.  We found them on the sides of some gently sloping humps and Moe's Big Kahuna spoon did the trick.  A very slop hop off the bottom got them to hit.

As the title says, I wanted to say something about fishing and how we sometimes get distracted from whats its all about.  Today I had the chance to take 4 youngsters and their dads out for a morning of catching.  Seeing their faces and seeing them enjoy catching anything from a small yellow bass to a 17" white bass sure made me remember why we put in all this time and effort to pass our sport down the next generation.  Hope y'all enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taking them!
