I've been doing a little fishing over the past few weeks after a little lay-off with motor problems and getting our new lake house build going. Looks the lake is falling into the usual summer patterns....or should I say "rising" into the usual summer pattern....LOL
Right now a topwater bite is probably the best thing going but a fluke or Sebile is running a close second. The drop shot is kicking in and the fish are beginning to move out to the main lake humps for the summer. We've been running a lot of points and finding fish this week as well as a few offshore humps. Underwater humps that come up to 15-30 feet on the main lake or near the creek channels that hold structure are going to be your best bet for the next few months. You just need to do a little looking and graphing to find the ones that hold groups of fish. Another way to locate these fish is by sight. With the topwater action going good right now I keep my head on a swivel watching for areas of surfacing fish. Yesterday the water temps were very close to 80 and the lake is about 3 and half feet above full pool. We didn't fish above Browns Bridge but there wasn't a whole lot of debris below Browns yet. Gotta keep your eyes peeled though, there is a few big chucks here and there. Here's a few pics from the last couple trips out. The last pic is LJ doing an "on the water" maintenance call for me.
