march 30,2011
The lake level is on the way down for now it has dropped about 3 inches and that will pull a lot of bass to offshore structure and we will be catching some big ones water temp is at 71 deg and with the cold front today we hope it's the last of the season.
Fished last Sunday with my friend guy for some slabs and we did real good we had about 25 in about three hour not bad we had a fish fry that afternoon Falcon is starting to be a great crappie lake with the last four years of good solid spawns they will be around for a long time so if you like to fish for giant slabs come to FALCON Lake and have some fun..
Brad Kokoron and his brother Nick also fished with me on Tuesday and we had about 15 bass biggest about 8.5 and a bunch of 3 and 4's most flipping brush hogs they had a ball,then we fished for some slabs and landed about 16 all about two pounds in about two hour.
Anglers from Dallas area are starting to come for the giant fish and the great weather here in Zapata, so if you would like try your skills at Bass,Crappie,big cats or big giant Gar give me a call for some summer time action!!!!!

Third Quarter Moon is what I like it never fails for catching monster Bass!!!! we started today with Todd Pfeil landing the first of some mega bass a 9 pound 6 oz Falcon Hawg but it was not long after that his friend Lawrence Zemanek landed a 10 pound 80z Hawg.
The weather is starting to feel like summer it got to 96 deg and the wind was not blowing it got hot but it did not stop Lawrence and Todd from having a great time and they loved falcon lake we did some carolina rigging and also some flipping heavy cover Texas style, some fish got the best of us but we got some out of that brush,Brush hogs and mag flukes is all it took,some of the big fish were spawning in 13 ft of water and all you had to do is drop it on there nest in the thicket and the fight was on!!!! we had two tens one nine and two eights with a bunch of heavy sixes.

The wind today is blowing at 20 to 25 mph the water temp is creeping up and the bass are getting more active,the blue gill are spawning and things are getting started for the fast action.

The water level is holding but it will not be long before the crops need a good soaking and the level will drop,hope it is not more then four feet we had a great spawn and the fry are growing fast in the brush,Crappies and big Catfish are in big numbers and people are limiting out fast.

April is going to be a fishing bonanza it's going to be hot and so is the fishing big fish and numbers is what is in order!!!!

Todd Curttis Elrod landed the fish of his life time,he still in chock today when he came by him and his friends are having a great trip he landed the big Hawg with a jewel 5/8 jig and chompers twin tail grubs in 20 ft of water and he said it was great to have a fish that big in hand for the first time.

Ethel is still out there in Falcon and we are getting close to breaking all records,David Cosners fish # 519 is a pure Florida bass and that is what the T.P.W is working so hard for the last 40 years,I can remember when they brought the first ones to Falcon my dad the late Tommy Gray was here when the brought them, he loved this lake as mush I do and if the lake stays full for about 3 more years not lower then 280 ft you better be ready for some world records we have the weather and the Florida Bass.

Today was an awesome day in Falcon Lake well another awesome day Louisiana boys Glen Vamvoras and son Dan had some huge fish eventhough the wind picked up so did the fishing. The biggest one today was 12 lbs and two 10 lb hawgs. Glen had the fish of his lifetime in his hands. The water temp. is at 68 degrees and people are catching some giant fish. Don't let people tell you the spawn is over because the big girls are just getting started. Plastic baits like senkos and mag flukes are working good in about 12 to 25 ft of water. Make sure you have the right equipment when you make the drive down here, these fish have an attitude, and they fight all the way to the boat. Give us a call for some fantastic fishing for march, april and may. Stop by the store for more fishing info and help we are always glad to help you out. Good fishing!!!!
Falcon Lake is the place to be!!! Get ready the fish are about to move in again for a second wave. Travis Garner caught these two big ones about to pop!! We have been catching a lot of big fish staging ready to come in. The weather has been great plenty of sun and heat (the fish love it) so come down, plan your trip, hop in your truck and cruise control to Zapata Tx.

Travis Garner and friends big 10- lbs hawgs
