I took Doug and Hunter fishing yesterday,Hunters dad wanted his so to catch a big fish offshore they have been flipping and had some big fish up to 11and a half but hunter could not pull them out of the thicket,Hunter is nine years old and he is a master at flipping,the day started almost like it was meant to be he hooked his first hawg with a Carolina rig a seven pound four once toad he is a good fisherman and  listen to my instructions on hook set and how to handle big fish in open water before we got started his best five weigh 30 pound and he was exhausted but he did not give the fish a chance!!!Doug has himself a great fishing partner.

Carolina Rig with 10 to 15 in worms with a three foot leader and a 7/0 monster hook he knows what it take to fish Falcon from now on,he had so mush Fun and he and hid Dad had a great trip!!!!!

GOOD WEATHER FISHING!!

We got some great days with about 1 1/2 inches of rain and cool days the last three days have been awesome with the fishing also great,took Chapman and his Dad Stan fishing on Wednesday we had some strong rains but we got out on the lake about 4 pm and racked up some big Catsfish Chapman won one of the two of the annual fishing trip that I donate to the High School for the summer session and it gives me a great feeling when you take a Jung one fishing for the first time on the boat and  fishing with there parents Chapman did catch the first fish and  also had a gar and a bass on Stan got the biggest and we had a great time they almost filled the box in about three hours all I did was bait hooks and take fish off I had a blast watching them, all the big ones came on shrimp and we also used liver but shrimp was the bait.
Fished with Tommy Guerra and his friend Pat, we had a great day they both had some big fish on and Tommy hot busted off with a Giant and pat got his to the boat we had a lot of fish mostly from 1 foot to 11 ft of water on junebug 10 in power worms Texas riged.

 The lake level is at 285.88 and Amistad is at 1,113 both are in good shape and with the rainy season almost here we may get lucky and they fill up again that would be crazy but you don't know till about November what the next year will be like when the next irrigation season approaches we know the fishing is going to be out of this world and a lot of records will be broken!!!!! 

High Winds and High Heat!!!''N'' Big Bass!!!!!

The last week has been on the winy side and with record heat you have to drink a lot of water just to feel good,the fishing during a full moon can be though, but i like the next week for monster bass last quarter moon is almost here and the big fish are going to be on the prowl My wife and kids were out of town and i had the boat in the shop and  they got back thursday and got the boat on friday.  I have been using one of my friends boat all last month and so I took my  boat out today for the two hour break in, and it's running like new. South Texas Marine Center is the place to take your boat Pat and Justin and there staff will take good care of you and your boat my dad and I started doing business with them over 25 years ago and they still have the same great service .The wind is blowing about 25 to 30 mph and it's going to be in the 100's all day and just got back to the Shop and got boat ready for the next trip i did check some areas while I was on the lake and thing are looking good for the next few days Summer time is is hot here but the fishing can be outstanding!!!!.

THE HEAT IS ON!!!!!! Summer time Hawging is on!!!

Lake Falcon continues to pump out some monster ''bass'' with the lake level holding almost steady for the last week between 286.75 and 286.65 fish are not as nomadic as the were when it was dropping three to four inches a day.The bream are schooling or spawning along the shell beds and the big bass are gorging on them,local fisherman are racking up some monster bass anywhere from 10 to 13 pound and some are catch and release and some are been put on the wall or on the skillet that's what happens when you have a ton of giants swimming in the lake and it drops 20 feet it happen in the 90's we had a lot of big fish then and the lake started dropping and a lot of fish got eaten,but more people are aware and release the big ones,like Mr Federico Garza he took his boys fishing on Saturday and they landed a 10.8 Falcon Hog the took good care to leave it in the live well and we took some pictures and then he took the boys to the lake and released her back into the lake that was a great lesson for the boy they had more fun seen the fish swim off and hope on catching her another day,it was 24 1/2 length and 19 inch girth,we also had a lot of anglers from out of town that had great days with a lot of heavy fish,Nasario Salinas jr had a 13 pound 03 oz toad on Sunday the biggest he ever had on and is going to mount his trophy and hang it on the wall for some good memories he was fishing with his Dad and his friend Harold when they landed the monster bass.There is one good thing about catching and having a lake full of catfish, bass, talapia and bluegill Crappies and a lot of Jung people start to fish and have fun in the summer along with there mom and dad's some folk's can afford a big boat so when they start fishing off the bank they are on there way to a great life of fun and fishing, some will get themself a boat and all the tackle they need and  get into the sport.

Jerry and Lonnie got there double "D's"

Fished with Jerry and Bob this last weekend and Jerry had a10.1 on Friday ,Saturday Bob had a nine pounder and we landed a lot of heavy fish but Sunday Jerry had another Toad on another big one a 10.4 pig it was crazy he thought he had a Mac truck on it pulled so hard this fish are strong.
Monday Lonnie and Ken had a great day we had two over nine two over eight and some heavy sevens the wind was perfect and so was the fishing,on Tuesday i got Lonnie rigged up for the monster BASS I told him if you throw this bait you are going to catch your double "D" and he did on his second cast he hooked another Mac truck a 10.14 pound Toad he was out of energy for about ten minutes after the battle,That Lonnie can fight those big Hawgs!!!!

Lakeview Inn is hosting there first 4th of July Bass Classic Tourney on the July 1st and 2'nd they asked me if I could help them out, and well I grew up at the old Redwood Lodge and it's a special place for me so I agree,it's going to be 3 fish limit per boat.Registration will be on Friday at the Inn and you can pick forms here at Robert's or at the Inn or the Chamber of Commerce. 

Jerry's 10.1 pound Hawg!!!!

Today the weather was great till about noon the wind got up about 25 mph and the fishing was good most of the day, the day started with a couple of heavy eight's and a ten pound toad that Jerry landed after Bob had three big fish to the boat.

All of the good humps and points are starting to pay of and the hardwood along the river in main lake are starting to show and the flipping bite is on with big jigs and heavy line.

Brush hogs in watermelon candy and watermelon red and big mag flukes were the bait to throw ,i fished with the new1/2 oz swimjig from Pepper Hawg jigs and landed about five fish using a brush hog as trailer swimming it along brushy points we were using the one once football jigs in sticky green with a brushhog as trailer. The lake will have more fisherman tomorrow with a couple of tourney's in town thing are going to rocking!!!!!

Jim's 10 lb 09 oz falcon Hawg!!!

Tracy got the big fish yesterday it was a 8 pound 11 oz toad and had most fish for the day,we had about 40 bass and we landed fish in the 6 to seven pound class but had a bunch of 15 in fish they are fun but we landed about 7 big fish for the day.Today was Jim's day he landed about 7 bass that totaled about 50 pound with a 10.09 Gorilla Kicker, the fish was a hand full and was ripping some drag but Jim played his cards right it got him in the trees a couple of times and he got it to the boat,Tracy had about four heavy sevens and I had a eight pounder and we had a better big fish day! I like to fish for numbers but a'm always in the hunt for the big Schools of big bass and after four moves got them on quality fish.
The lake level is at 287.90 and with the heat and drought it may be a long and hot summer we are praying for rain,the weeds and brush are starting to grow along the bank of the lake and soon irrigation would come to an end and the rainy season may bring the lake level up at least a couple of feet.
Jerry and Bob will be fishing with me for the next three days and if the wind blows like it did this last two days we are in for some great fishing!!!
