Josh and son Hudson from Hereford, Texas with Walleye and White bass taken on 7/24/11. We hammered the Whites for over 2 hours suspended 30 feet down in 50 feet of water. The school had to be 100 yards x 50 yards in size.

Water Temp = 78 degrees, main lake clear with the arms lightly stained.

Walleye--FAIR to GOOD--It is starting to get a bit more difficult to catch a bunch of them, but they are biting. I'm still trolling over brush for the Walleye----its a good thing I own a tackle shop!!!!

White bass--GOOD to EXCELLENT--Its all about finding the schools. Look for large schools suspended 30 feet down on your fish finder. Trolling deep divers is how I find the schools, and once I find them, I switch to slabs and proceed to get into some serious action.

Small and Large mouth bass--GOOD--Early morning top water action then go deeper with tubes and worms in 10-25 feet of water. Main lake points and the back of coves will produce fish.

Catfish--GOOD to EXCELLENT--Chicken liver, night crawlers and stink baits will all catch a catfish. fish coves in 15-25 feet of water .

Look for some updates the next few days, I will be on trips the next 7 days.

FISH-ON,

Bill with grandsons Michael and Austin with a nice batch of Walleye taken 7/6/11.

Some folks from Amarillo, Texas with their catch taken in late June.

Water temp = 76 degrees, main lake clear with the river arms stained.

The fishing for most species remains good. There are days when it is tougher than others, but that is why they call it fishing. My best suggestion for you during the next week or two is to be on the water early and get off it around noon -----it is HOT and it sounds like it will remain HOT. Another suggestion is if you are keeping your fish for supper, throw them right on ice when you catch them this time of year. Live wells do not keep fish alive that well in the hot temps we are having. Nothing like butchering fresh fish that are mushy because they have been 1/2 cooked in a live well!!!!!

Walleye--GOOD--Crawlers in 15-30 feet of water or trolling over brush in 8-20 feet of water.

Catfish--GOOD--Liver or stink baits in 4-30 feet of water.. They seem to be spread out all over the lake.

Crappie--SLOW--The bite is over. You might catch one here and there, but do not count on a bunch of them.

Small and Large mouth bass--FAIR--I'm seeing a bunch of them surfacing in the morning, and I continue seeing them through the morning ---just cruising around 2-3 feet under the surface.

White bass --FAIR-- I have caught a few, but not very many. I would stick to the coves a little more if I was after them
