As the Summer starts to wind down, Kids get ready to start back to School, and hopefully some much needed rain and cooler temperatures head our way, it's that time that I start thinking about my FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR!!! I love the Fall with all that it brings....Cool & Crisp Mornings, Football, Family Holidays, and BETTER FISHING AND CATCHING! I often think of Labor Day as the end of the Summer and the beginning of Fall, but Mother Nature usually has a few more hot days in store before we get that "feeling in the air" that it's truly Fall! Guess it's best to get back to reality, enjoy the remainder of the Summer and take it a day at a time!

White Bass fishing improved just a bit this past week, but it's still a little tough and we're having to work for a box of fish most days. We had two days when the fishing was a little better with Friday's the best when I had a three person 75 fish limit, and Saturday when Adam's twosome had 39 and my threesome had 54 Keepers. Most mornings we're experiencing a bit of Top Water action at the Windsock Point and then it's on to the Points and Roadbeds for our Slab fish. Check out the shallow water first (12'-20' depths) and then move deeper.

Early in the week, the action was really slow on the White Bass, so I tried the Catfish a couple of days and did pretty good. The Channel Cats were in 15' water in the timber after I dropped a bit of Sour Maize and Range Cubes to attract their attention. Danny Kings Punch Bait was the ticket to a nice box of Channels for the Turnbo Family from far West Texas (See Attached Picture).

Summer Fishing is a challenge for many but if you remain optimistic, don't waste too much time in any one location, and burn a little gas looking for the scattered fish, you'll usually wind up with a nice box of fish and a good fish fry! And remember, FALL IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!!!

Good Luck and Good Fishing!
