  • Richland Chambers Fishing Report - TX

    Adam and I have always tried to "Tell It Like It Is" in regard to the fishing on Richland Chambers! The majority of the time we have days where we fill the ice chest, everyone catches lots of fish and normally it's more fish than our customers have ever caught before. (Picture above of 85 year old Bea and her Daughter who had 24 Keepers on a trip this week. One of their BEST DAYS ever and one of our slowest!) If you've read our recent Fishing Reports, you noticed that the White Bass fishing has been a little tough for the past couple of weeks. This week the trend has continued.



    We've had a boat out everyday this past week and the average catch was around 20 to 25 fish. As an example we had both boats reserved by Families with eight fishermen (Kids and Adults) on two trips this week. We fished hard, everyone caught fish, but we had only 51 Keepers and 42 Keepers respectively on the two trips. This was great with one Family as they had seldom caught that many fish, but it was a little disappointing for the other Family as they've fished with us often and are used to 100 fish days! However, on both trips, we had LOTS OF FUN and that's the important thing!

    Most of the mornings we've had a bit of White Bass Top Water Schooling action off the 309 Flats and then we're moving around the Lake to all the typical Summer Spots (Pelican Island, Old Hwy 287 Roadbed and the South Shoreline) to look for fish. Keep a Top Water Bait and a Slab handy as you never know when you'll pull up on a school of feeding fish!

    We inform our customers when the fishing is slow and if they want to cancel or reschedule, we have no problem doing so. All we ask is that they let us know as far in advance as possible. If customers decide to cancel/reschedule and give us a little notice, we might be able to fill the opening.

    We wish we knew when the fishing is going to improve, but our Crystal Ball is a little foggy. It may be tomorrow, this week or next week. We go through periods like this every Summer and always hope the fishing gets better quickly! The one thing we do know for sure is that "You'll always have FUN with Gone Fishin' Guide Service!"

    Here's hoping we get to see you soon and do some Catchin'!.
