Last day on Sam Rayburn. Had a great last day catching fish on jigs and Jerkbaits. We caught around 45 fish with a couple of 3 and 4 pounders. It was a great trip. I had fun making memories with the boys.

Sam Rayburn Part 2 Day 3
We had a really good afternoon when we moved to a different area of the lake. Nick was able to catch a good fish. Kyle got tired of catching spotted bass. Watch to the end. Kyle thought it was still basketball season. Best bait was a Senko, but I started to catch some on a 1/2oz. Flippin’ jig Green Pumpkin w/Beaver Green Pumpkin Trailer.
Sam Rayburn Part 1 Day 3
On day three it started out foggy, so we decided to stay in the take off area. There is always released fish from tournaments. We were able to catch two three pounders and a couple of keepers. It was a very productive day. In one pocket Nick caught six fish. We ended up with 36 fish for whole day. Most of the fish up to this point have been caught on Chatterbait and Senko.
Sam Rayburn Trip Day 1 & 2
I decided to surprise the Twins with a Trip to Sam Rayburn for Spring Break. There was a group of guys from the Flint Hills Bass Club that have gone to Sam Rayburn the last couple of years. So, we decided to join them. The boys were excited hearing we were going. Sunday morning around 1:30 am, we left for Sam Rayburn. It was an 11 hour trip. When we finally got there, the boys and I decided to put on the lake. We were able to get in two hours of fishing; catching 8 but lost 5.
Next Day, when we got on the water, we fished the south side because the wind was supposed to blow. We ended up catching a lot of spotted bass. Catching most of the fish on Senko and Hard Jerkbaits. I did lose one big fish on a Football Jig in some brush that we never saw. At the end of the day, we were only able to catch 14 bass and losing 8 fish. The fish were biting very weird with the rain and full moon. Hoping the next couple of days would be better.
Sam Rayburn Trip
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.
