  • Richland Chambers Fishing Report - TX

    Fishing Friends,


    It's mid-August, the temperature has reached a peak and School has or is starting now. It's the time of the year when our business slows and we're off the Lake a couple of days a week as opposed to fishing six days a week. It's actually kind of nice as it gives your body a break from the daily routine of up early, drive the two-hour trip to the Lake, fish half a day, clean fish & boats, put everything away and make the drive home. It may sound like I'm complaining but just the opposite as I still tell everyone that "I haven't worked a day in the past twenty-one years!" 🙂


    The Summer trips take on a regular routine as we almost always look for surface feeding fish on the Main Lake, South Shoreline and 309 Flats the first hour or so of the day. Then depending on the action, we move up one of the major Creek Arms and fish for shallow water (10'-20' Feet of Water) fish that are there due to the Thermocline that has the oxygen and baitfish congregated in an area and depth. We catch the top water fish on any number of baits including Tiny Torpedoes, Rat-L-Traps and Mepps MAL Spinners. Our bottom feeding fish are almost always caught on a Slab and Jig Combo and sometimes results in catching two fish at a time. Summertime fishing can be a bit tough as the fish are on the move and not in the same locations from day to day, but if you hang in there and know the Lake and Patterns, you most often have a good box of fish for your efforts.


    Adam and I have August Weekday openings and as we move into September, we even have a Holiday Weekend and some Saturdays with a boat available. Check us out at www.gonefishin.biz and give us a call. Let's Go Fishin'! 🙂
