Kay McAdams from Stratford, Tx. with a couple nice Whites and a Walleye caught 7/25/10
Bubba and Penny Norris from Hobbs, N.M. with their catch taken on 7/22/10.
Water temp = 78-80 degrees, main lake clear, river arms lightly stained.
The last few weeks have not only been HOT, but also rather muggy because of higher humidity, which in turn causes lighter fishing pressure and heavy recreational use. If you do go fishing I suggest getting up early and fish till early afternoon. I am not seeing an early morning bite, but at least its comfortable. On my recent trips I have noticed the best bite to be from noon to 2:00 P.M., but by then you are just about cooked and ready to get off of the water.
Walleye--Fair--The bite has slowed, but the fish are out there. Slab in 30-50 feet of water is one option and trolling over brush in 10-20 feet of water is still my preferred method. We are still catching quite a few short fish with an occasional keeper. Small and Large mouth bass along with White bass and Walleye can be caught this way.
White bass--Fair to Good--They are starting to school up a bit more in 30-50 feet of water. Slabbing is productive if you can find them. Watch for the birds feeding on the water and it is a good bet the Whites are below them feeding on shad.
Catfish--Fair--Stinks baits in 4-8 feet of water will get some, but it has slowed down over the last week or two.
Crappie--Sh&*%ty
Small and Large mouth bass --Fair--We have been catching a few here and there, but we are not trying to get them. I would think if you target them for a day of fishing, you would do well fishing the main points and structure and also the grass beds on the lake.
FISH-ON,
Rob & Maria
