Started off fishing Saturday last week after our little family vacation and it was only average. It was just me and a friend to scout out the lake and see where the fish moved to. The weather was cloudy and the fish seemed to be scattered all over the lake and weren't concentrated anywhere I looked. Found em in 16-18ft on some humps but it was nothing to write home about. But we had a good time catching up and spending a "no pressure" day on the lake.
Took Sunday off for a birthday party at the Rangers game.
Monday it was back in the saddle and back at the grind :) Took Benny and Jim out for a little morning action and it didn't disappoint! It was another cloudy day and the fish seemed to be scattered around. Water temp was around 76 and there was no schooling action to speak of. There were a few birds buzzing around but nothing was going on. It has seemed like on these cloudy days if the fish decide not to school, you have at least a couple hours wait until they get stacked up a little deeper. Today was exactly that. Around 9am they finally got concentrated and hungry and we put quick limits in the boat. So, todays lesson is that if you cant find them early, just WAIT!!! They'll get hungry eventually.
Tuesday was almost the same story as monday except we found them slightly earlier on a point in 22ft of water. These fish were super hungry and I think we limited in less than 30 minutes :) I love it when those days happen but it just doesn't happen every day. We were using Moe's Godfather slabs in 1.5 and 2oz. They wanted it dropped to the bottom and burned to the surface very fast. After all that was done we went looking for some kitty cats and found a nice mix of eating size cats in 28ft on a hump on punch bait.
Wednesday, yesterday, was almost a repeat of monday LOL! We started a little earlier because it was supposed to rain and it was cloudy and overcast. Winds were very light. I really expected a little schooling action but there wasn't any to be found. Again, just like Monday, we had to wait the fish out for a little bit to get on em. Around 9:30 we found them stacked up deep in 29ft on a hump with lots of timber. They lasted there for at least two hours and we put well over 100 in the boat including some nice hybrid. We used the smaller Godfather slabs from Moes Tackle Shop. The key to finding these fish were electronics. They were concentrated on the down slope of a hump and they weren't catchable if you were 15ft away. It was kinda funny because the front of the boat really had a slower time catching them than the back of the boat :) I eventually figured it out and moved everybody to the back LOL!!!
Hope this gives everybody some info so you can go out and find some great fish on Ray Hubbard. We are so fortunate to have such a great lake so close to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Hope to see some of yall out at the Lake Tawakoni Sportsman Tournament this coming Saturday. Here is a link for more info: http://www.laketawakonisportsman.com/LTSA/Tournament.html
I have a couple of days open next week if anybody would like to enjoy a day of catching on Ray Hubbard. Remember I am Ray Hubbard's only full-time fishing guide and have the biggest, newest guide boat out there. Thanks for looking! Paul Rogers, 214-668-8467
