August heat

August is almost gone and the heat continues, the lake level is at 283.70 and most anglers are still catching some big fish but the seven or eight pounder should be over ten they are not heavy and are long and skinny but by late September they will be gaining some pounds best fishing continues in water in the range of six to twelve feet and around flooded wisache .

Fished today with my friend Guy and we ripped some lips Guy got the first Hawg a 7.11 gorilla it gave him a good battle we followed it with a couple of heavy sixes and rounded the day off with a 8,11 both great fish.fished till noon and by that time the heat was at 103deg and the bite slowed down but we had about 39 pound on the biggest five not bad for the dog days!!!!!October is when the big girls will start to gorge them self and we will be ready!!!!! 

ZAPATA,& FALCON A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE !!!!!!

Falcon Lake It's a great place to fish and the conditions are never the same,the lake level is at 282.09 and last year in August the level was at 307. almost 25 feet lower.

The fishing has been good you can catch some good bass flipping or football jigs in 12 to 18 feet of water Dan and Rick  had a good day with some fish up to nine pounds it seamed that the fish are scattered you will catch two or three big ones and then  you have to move and the same will happen but at the end of the day you will have a great one,Falcon is by far the best summer time fishing lake even on the dog days of summer.
Arturo Flores and his Dad and his brother are catching some giant fish this summer and his going back to college
but he landed the mega bass a 10.2 oz Hawg and he turned it loose after we took all the pictures and measurements that is what it takes to keep Falcon such a great fishery Great fishing Arturo!!!!!!

Back to school !!!

It's back to School and a lot of Jung anglers will remember the fun times at Falcon Lake ,That is one of my favorite part of my Job when we take the parents and there kids fishing,
The lake is still dropping  and the fish are getting stacked up and so is the bait so it's not hard for them to grab an easy meal,fished with Tommy Guerra and his friend Jay and Jay's son Aaron and Aaron had a fishing trip to remember he is a great fisherman and doesn't give up and his going to be one of the future Pro Fisherman .

We also had a great day Today fishing with Dan and Rick we had about 45 fish biggest almost 10 it weigh 9.12 and we had two 8t's and 4 over 6 pound Yesterday it was the power worms an today they wanted football Jigs all in 17 feet of water or the big flukes,Tomorrow we will find what it's on the big girls menu rick is re-spooling and is going with 20 pound floro it was getting more bites then the braid Dan lost a Monster almost to the boat but we got a good look at it before it threw the bait at us it's a blast and good  and good for the heart it seams to raise your heart beat to about 140 you have to remember to keep your line tight and keep steady pressure on them even when the jump.

Fishing in August !!!!

August heat continues and Falcon Lake  is starting to look like it always does lots of brush and humps in about the right depth for some great fall fishing! Can't wait don't get me wrong I love the hot weather but it's unbearable when the wind is not above 20 mph and the fish also feel the oxygen change in the water and they do get lazy and conserve energy the big ones are not as active as the 12 to 16 in  bass and the high pressure keeps them looked down but it changed yesterday with rains in the area and in the mountains of Old Mexico we had a great day with fish up to eight pounds.

fished with Dan and brother David for the last four days and the fishing kept improving each day we had to work hard for most bites and ended each day with about 20 to 25 bass but yesterday we had over 50 and they both broke there personal best,all on mag flukes and 10 in worms in 10 to 17 feet of water,the Lake continues to drop and it's at 283.15 and we need some rain,amistad lake got about 5 in of rain yesterday and I hope it was down stream of there dam so we can have some run off they seem to Hog the water when we have droughts and our pool will be lower by next year, if we don't gain a few feet before next year we been through one back in the 90's and it was no fun we had two great spawns and the lake is full of small fish and they need the cover to make it. Catfishing continues to be great with heavy stringers coughs on shrimp and cut bait live worms are catching huge Blue gills and small jigs are catching some big crappies in and around flooded brush and under bridge so if you want to catch any of this give me a call and Falcon Lake will always will be your favorite summer fishing lake....   

Heat Wave continues in August !!!

The fishing has been about same with the high pressure in control and not giving us a break rain just miss us and I mean all of Texas,we did have a few showers and that was in spots around the lake.
 The offshore bite has been a little off with most fish suspended out in main lake and are hard to target but you can still catch then flipping brush we are on the way to great moon face and fishing will start to improve,the Lake continues to fall at a steady rate and that just have fish on the move we need for it to stable at least for a week to have fish gang up and group tight to structure.
 August  is going to be another hot one,Mike Ryan and his friend Pancho fished wit me last week we had two eight pounders and a lot of two to four pound it was slow by Falcon Standards but with 12 to 20 fish that is a lot better then other lakes when you fish all day and don't even have a hit.

Ralph and his son fished this last week end and they had good fishing with ten in power worms in the motor oil color flipping brush in about 12 feet of water,i fished with Matt on Sunday for a half day and the bit started to turn on about ten am with watermelon red lizards in 12 to 15 ft of water,the dog days of Summer are here and fishing will cintinue on the same pattern...
