Report Updated Report February 15, 2008

Water temps are ranging from 49-55. The lake is at normal levels but should rise above normal levels after the weekend rain.
Bass are hitting a variety of lures right now such as traps and spinnerbaits, stick with your light or shad colors. These are mainly being used in or over the grass flats. Jigs and soft plastics in the grass and on the cypress are catching some decent bass also. Brown and Tennessee Shad colored crankbaits on the cypress trees in 3-6 ft. of water are catching bass also.
Crappie are fair right now. Shiners and 1/16 oz. jigs in most any color combo will catch Crappie from around the edges of the grass and pads on the channel drops. Try fishing the laydowns on the edges of the steeper drops in the river also.
We have also been catching some big numbers of huge white bass in the Big Cypress channel...when they are up schooling most any topwater or trap will work and when down try using tailspinners, spoons, and traps hopped off the bo ttom.

Richard Chambers Reservoir Fishing Report Updated May 15, 2012

Fishing Friends,

It's hard to believe but we've just about completed another Spring of
fishing on Richland Chambers and now we're headed for the Super
Summertime Top Water Action that only RC can provide! While we catch
the majority of fish on Slabs (www.rsrlures.com ) during the Winter
and Spring, we quickly change our offering to baits such as the Rat-L-
Trap, RSR Tail Spinner and Tiny Torpedo when the water temperature
warms and the Summer nears. We're already experiencing an hour or so
of Top water Schooling action every morning and it won't be long
before the hour turns into a full morning of literally several acres
of fish chasing Shad to the surface and having a feeding frenzy! If
you've never experienced this type of fishing, you owe it to yourself
to try and schedule an outing on RC sometime between June and August.
It's something you'll not soon forget!

The Summer also brings a few changes to our business as we only offer
Morning Trips and try and get on the Lake a little earlier than we do
in the Spring. Most days we're on the Lake by 6:30AM and get to
witness a nice Sunrise! We're also off the Lake by 11AM, clean the
fish while our Customers have a Burger at the Fisherman's Point Marina
Lighthouse Cafe, and then wrap up our day by Noon. The Mornings are
normally pleasant with a light breeze, and if we're lucky we get some
Cloud Cover much of the AM. We're off the Lake before it gets hot and
our Customers are back on the road by midday.

The White Bass will be in much the same locations as they always are
on the Main Lake....Pelican Island, South Shoreline from the Marina to
Ferguson Point, and the Old Hwy 287 Roadbed. Check out the 309 Flats
in the 25'-35' water for the Hybrid Stripers. For the folks wanting to
catch some Crappie, it's hard to beat the Hwy 287 and Hwy 2859 Bridge
Columns. The action is normally every bit as good as the Spring and
the added aspect of catching Schooling White Bass brings out the
"Kiddo" in all of us! It's so much FUN to see the Water boiling, Birds
diving and Shad jumping that it often results in lots of shouting,
laughing and some competitive trash talking!

If you want to get the Family, Friends, or Customers on the Lake for a
day of Catchin', just give us a call at 903-389-4117, or check out our
website at www.gonefishin.biz and send us an e-mail. We can
accommodate Groups of any size and offer the most competitive rates on
any Lake in Texas. We still have Weekday openings in May, and Saturday
openings in the June and July timeframe. Last but not least, we
guarantee you to have FUN and CATCH Fish!

Hope your Spring has been as GREAT as ours and we get to fish with you
this Summer!

Hello Everybody,

ISAIAH 58: Verses 9:

Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; Thou shalt cry, and He shall say. Here am I. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity.

SAM RAYBURN;

Well it is good to see the killer heat wave over for now. Bass were really slow for about 3 weeks. But now with scattered storms and a little cooler weather from 103 to 90's is cooler to me.

The Bite has been really great. 20-25 Bass per day is common now and the key word is Shad.

Water has been slightly stained on most of the Lake with water temps running about 82-84 degrees. Lots of grass beds everywhere with lots of Bass.

You can really pick your favorite pattern and catch right now. Bass will hit frogs in the thick stuff or spinnerbaits and rattle traps in shad patterns. Also Crankbaits in shad patterns will catch. The shallow bite has been good but some real Giants have been caught 12-15 ft. deep on DD22's and Carolina rigs.

Texas rigged 10 inch worms worked in the pockets produced a 24 lb. sack last saturday in 6-10 ft. grass.

Have a good time and if you do not know the Lake and need a Guide and want to learn some patterns call me at 903-478-2633 or 903-724-1203 or E-mail me at my new E-mail donmat@windstream.net. You can also go to my web-page which is matternguideservice.fghp.com.
