Yesterday we hit the high 60's and the wind was blowing about 15 m.p.h took Mr Hugh Rule and his friend Danny from Tennessee fishing we loaded up the bass gear and also some Crappie gear Hugh wanted to catch a few Slabs we got to our spot fished around bridge pilings and hammerd some two pound Crappies had about 12 and I told Hugh I had a great spinnerbait spot to go fish that I have been catching some Toads,but he said Man we got to fish for this Slabs and we ended up fishing there the rest of the day.
Jigs in clear color were the best also blue and pearl you have to have the bait they want to catch them most people stay with there go to color but there is times you have to change,we kept 48 and landed about 90 we let a bunch back in the Lake that a lot to clean,I have fished here from an early age and remember where and how we use to catch them,the lake is full of GIANT slabs and you need to take your Kids and parents to catch some of this Giant Bream and Crappies so you can also have some good memories things change from years to years but good memories will always be with you.
We will be after Giant Bass tomorrow Jerry and Bob will be ready Friday is going to be cold but this is my best moon phase 3 days after the full moon going to third quarter the fish almost always gorge them self.Today the wind is going to blowing out of the north at 30 to 40 m.p.h so if you fish Falcon you must be careful not to be out on main Lake when it hits.

the water level has been staying about the same for the last week the rain and cool weather was a blessing they stopped the draw down and it's holding at 299.20 the fish will also settle down and wont be changing patterns,water temp is about 57 to 59 deg and with the full moon today things are going to be crazy.I can tell you that by next full moon things are going to rocking Feb,March and April and up to May this are big fish months dont forget your cold weather gear and your heavy action rods 7 to 7.8 are best with heavy line.I have some days still in February so if you want to catch some pigs give me a call.Thanks and good fishing!!!This is a monster 14.62 that was turned in to the Sheralunker and was brought back to the lake,this are some monster Bass!!!!!!

It's a great day the temperature is close to 60 I got just a long sleeve shirt and there are already people heading to the lake, my friend Charlie from Fork is here and his best friend they are heading to the Tigers for some deep off shore fishing.

Crappies are starting to pile up and I mean pile up all of the Bridges are full of them,Veleno,burro,big tiger and little tiger are the place to be for some giant slabs.Last month me and my friend Juan Garza caught 30 in about 2 hours and at two pound each we had a mess,We fryed the last of them a few days ago.

I prefer giant bass for the fight and good heart pumping action,when you hook one of these Hawgs you always come back for more and always on the hunt for the mother Bass the 14 to 17 pound monster bass we have them in our lake it's just a matter of time,the chamber of commerce is got a bounty staring on the January 15th for 2,500 dollars for the biggest bass weighed in and it runs till April and it's 25 dollar to enter it does not matter if you fish off the bank or on a boat you have a good chance.

I want to thank all my customers for your support and business in 2010 and Norma and myself are looking foward to serving you in 2011 we will be starting our 7th year in March and it's been so mush fun doing what you always wanted to do since I was a boy,It's like fishing you could do it for ever.

Tanner and his Dad Tommy,Bryan and Bob Evans,Jessie and Dalton and there Dad.Bob and Jerry and the list goes on thanks Guys for your Business and hope you all had a great time in Falcon Lake....
My friend Leo and Richard are always ready to battle the big pigs along with there hound dogs Leo has been coming to falcon from Ohio for the last 20 years and him and Richard are a good team..

With the New Year here and the start of another great year Falcon Lake is the place to be in 2011.
It's been tough this last couple of months and have not kept the blog and web page up to date,my mother has been ill and we lost here last Sunday she and my Dad the late Tommy Gray were my foundation to the love of fishing and the love of Falcon Lake,they started me fishing from an early age they will be with us forever and we will miss them both.
The Lake has dropped about 3 feet and the weather continues worm the water temp is at 60 deg and we are catching some big bass I got some pictures that I have not posted of some happy customers,most fish are still holding close to cover it can be 6 to 10 ft or 15 to 30 ft I like the deeper areas for the big Hawgs we are in the winter pattern and most bait fish will look for areas they can stay close to there comfort zone crank baits Carolina or Football Jigs are the baits to locate this big schools of bass the Power Tackle lateral perch will also work just let it flutter through the bait fish for some arm jarring strikes and the Lake Fork live magic shad I like them both but you must fish them slow and give them a light jerk with long pause or count down, another Hot Bait that I have been using with great results are the Bass Kandy bait's the 6'' Kandy minnow and the 5'' Speed Bug the bug is a great trailer on Jigs or flipped with a heavy Texas rig.
