Decided to start the fishing season in Texas on famous Sam Rayburn. The fishing has been very tough lately with high water levels and temperatures staying in the mid 50’s. One of the problems is it takes so long to weed through the trees to find the fish. I was able to catch some fish each day deadsticking a 5″ Senko around the live pine trees. When you do get a bite, they hit it hard and take off with it. So, you would think they would hit a moving bait. I really think the fish are waiting for the water to get in the 60’s so they can start spawning. Finally, the last day my partner and I were able to catch 15 fish cranking through the grass in about 1 hour on the last day. One thing I would have done different was fish more grass in the drains and ditches with rattletraps. I really think if you stayed with it, you could have had moments through the day you could have smashed them with a chance at a really big fish. Next up is Kansas Youth Tournament on Grand Lake.
