Doodle-Socking!!!!!!!

Lake level is still falling and it's aout284.69 water temp at 86 deg and the bass are still fairly shallow you can catch big fish from 4 to 12 feet of water this time of year is when the heat is on and the big girls are tight to the brush where they find cooler water or protection and ambush points,Flipping or pitching are what is happening this time of year or like the old timers use to call it when I was growing up fishing here at Falcon it was called Doodle-Socking seldom do you ever cast more then five feet and never throw in open water and you must fish in the middle of the brush pile or tree and you let your bait drop to bottom and let lay then pick it up and shake it once or twice Doodle the jig or brush hog or big worm and Sockit to them and pull the big haws out of the middle of the brush,I might add that there is an art to dragging a six pounder or bigger out of the brush the secret is heavy line and extra heavy rod up to eight feet I like the seven and a half with a seven to one ratio spooled with 80 pound braid.

Summer is hot and July and august are windy months but there are days that the fish go nuts and you don't the mind the heat and if you want to fish and enjoy one on one battle with a monster bass come see me and we will go on the hunt and do some Doodling!!!!!

The Hunt of a life time!!!!

Rusty Karr and Sam Woods did a three day hunt we had three fish over six foot and over one hundred pounds,we saw bigger and shot and missed but that is part of the hunt  this time of the year there are rolling and you don't know where or when they will surface you must be ready.
falcon is the place to be! give me a call if your ready  to go after Monster Bass Monster Gator Gar or giant Cat fish, we love the sport so if your looking to catch or hunt the fish of a life time give me a call.

Record Heat wave

Texas has been on a heat wave and that is no different here at Falcon we have had a lot says over 100 deg  and the lake evaporation continues we deal with the irrigation then the heat the lake level is at 285.5 and the water temp at 84 to 86 deg.
A lot of fisherman from Zapata are taking advantage of the low water levels and are doing a lot of fishing off the bank and catching a lot of big fish,the fish are still fairly shallow and feeding on talapia and bluegill they had record spawns and the bass are not far from the schools of bait.

Joe had a 10 pound 4 oz hawg and Pepe and his grandsons Albert and Robert a great fishing day with four big bass all from 6 to seven pound it's good to see them having a great time school will be starting soon and they will have good memories of the fishing in 2011.

High pressure over Texas!

The last week of fishing has been good but it can be better the fish seam to relate to the weather when you have rains and the pressure is falling or steady fishing can be great but when the high pressure ridge rolls around and stays in Texas for a week or so fishing is a challenge and that is when your patterns and tactics go into play also dealing with winds and hot weather,some days they feed early then on the next they are on a different feeding time or bait ,mostly we have been hammering them with big worms and also flipping brush hogs in the brush you still have to find the big hogs and make them bite.
Fished with Dean and Joe last week we landed a lot of fish mostly in the five pound range with a 9.12 and a 8.12 on the first day and had about 50 fish on the second day we had about the same a lot more were on the flipping bite and Joe got a ten pounder Dean ripped some lips and dragged some nice fish out of deep cover,ther friend Steve fished with our friend Robert Mc Farland and he had some god action also  and Steve also got himself a10 pounder.
July is on he right track for been a big fish month we have landed about six over ten and it's only half gone I also fished with my friend Tommy Guerra on the 6th and he landed a 8 pounder that dayand a lot of  four pound fish.

Lake is still dropping slow and that will only make the fishing better! and the dog days of summer are here and when you fish Falcon the Hotter the weather the better the bite!!!

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE LAKE FALCON !!!!!!

INDEPENDENCE DAY AT FALCON ,
July 4th 2011 and there is a lot of activity on the lake with folks from all around and also people from Town fishing today it's all been good,the tournament on Saturday was a good one with a lot of big fish and also had great weather for the event and only had two dead fish,we learn so mush from day to day and when you are taking care of giant fish stress is the biggest killer the less you handle them and keep them out of water,the temp in the holding tank the venting of the air bladder it has to be done just right for survival of the fish.
I have seen a number of parents and there kids fishing this last two months and we have a bunch of Jung ones interested in the sport of fishing some are going after bass some after cats and blue gill or alligator gars, it's all good.

Lake level is at 285.90 and has been steady wind the last four days has been great, a few showers in the area just right for fishing and picnics there is no place like Falcon!!!!!
