Fellow Fishermen & Fisherwomen,

The week of January 18th was almost Springlike in that we had South Winds, 70 degree temperatures and even Thunderstorms on a couple of days! The water temperature warmed up from a frigid 42 degrees to 48 degrees by the end of the week. On the MLK Monday Holiday, I fished with some folks from Mesquite and we had a pretty good afternoon. It started out slow with only a few White Bass the first hour or so, and then got into some almost non-stop action for the next hour and a half.  Toward the end of the week on Thursday, the same results were had on another outing!

We found some of our fish about 5 miles up the Richland Creek Arm, but caught most in 40'-45' water off the Windsock Point on the Main Lake. You'll need to use your Graph and find the fish holding on the bottom. All you'll see is a little dot on the Graph as the fish are buried up on the bottom. All  our fish came on  1 oz. Silver Slabs or on a Jig teaser above the Slab and literally little to no movement on the bait.

Winter fishing and catching is a different type of fishing than you'll experience any other time of the year.There's no schooling fish, usually no birds and a very,very slow presentation of the bait is required. The bite is often just dead weight on the end of the line or just a slight tick. Most folks give up after a couple of hours of fishing too fast or not finding the fish. I enjoy Wintertime fishing on the nice weather days as it's a real challenge to find and then catch the fish versus the easy catching during the other Seasons of the year.

If you want to get in on some of the action, give us a call at 903-389-4117 or check us out on our Website at www.gonefishin.biz .


Good Luck and Good Fishin'!
