6/14 Fished with family today. Didn't want to get up and throw for shad for 3 hours. Went out just before daylight in hopes they would come back into the bank this morning for the spawn. Very cloudy and sprinkles so it didn't happen. The wife went after bait and we used black salties. Went out about a 1/4 mile from where we fished yesterday in 70 feet of water. Caught most of our fish from the 50 to 60 foot level but sometimes as deep as 65 feet. Nice overs in the box and some nice box fish. Didn't fish for real long so it wouldn't seem too much like I was at work. Not out again until Tuesday and I have a bad foot I need to nurse before then. I only have Tuesday, June 30th left open this month so if you are wanting a June trip, give me a call.

6/13 started out pretty good. Bait was tough to get and I only had 51 shad until daylight when they hit the shallows to spawn. Caught another 100 with one throw. We needed more win but we got them going off and on. We were in 66 feet of water out East of Table Top and catching them in the 40 to 50 foot range. We moved when it shut down and just never got them going again before the wind shut off and it got hot. Decided to call it a day with a nice box of fish.

6/11 was set to be a tricky one with storms moving through overnight and sitting right under the front. Set anchor in light SW breeze. Marking fish and catching a few. Anchored in 66 feet of water and catching at 40 feet with bait. Wind starts switching to the NW and blows just right for a few minutes and the water goes calm. We left there and went to let the breeze drift where I had on Tuesday. Caught a few there but it was slow. Got a call on some fish that were working. Headed out to water close to home at 60 feet deep. We caught fish in water from 40 to 50 feet deep. Fish have been starting slow and finishing fast. We had a great ending with a triple. Good fishing today with a slow start. Dr. on Friday so not back out until Saturday.

6/9 started with very little wind. We tried topwater along the rocks near Highport for a good distance and got no takers. The high water has sure slowed things down because of the flood gates being wide open. Gates are shut now and hopefully the fish will start doing what they should be this time of year in a few days. We headed out to my favorite ledge, as of late. We were marking fish like crazy and could not get them to bite. The South breeze started to pick up and I was hoping it would turn the fish on. NOPE! We left there and headed to deeper water North of the Islands. Started catching but it was slow. Wind is getting so strong that everybody is having trouble just staying on anchor. We headed up to shallower water on a call I got from another guide and drifted in water from 14 to 30 feet deep. Finished up our box there with some nice fish. Tough day to get them and the wind didn't help at all. We got all our fish and these two did a great job in the conditions. Thanks.

June 7th we planned to fish on another part of the lake with 2 groups I had. Been catching some nice fish in a spot so we wanted to hit it. After catching bait (hard to do) I came out of the creek and the waves were 3 and 4 feet high on the main lake. No way to safely boat to another location. I loaded on the trailer and headed to Big Mineral to launch and pick up customers there. Still windy but manageable. Big winds and muddy waters made for a tough day. We caught fish in water as shallow as 11 feet all the way to 66 feet deep. Not an easy day to be a guide but still caught a good amount of fish. I am off today to get things like this done along with lawn mowing, etc. Hoping topwater will start soon because it is running late. Slabbing should be here, as well. The flood has messed things up a little but it will line itself back out. I only have one day left open in June to take somebody fishing. If you want to go out on June 30th..........give me a call.

Went out to the ledge where good fish had been hitting me off of the river channel. Got up on the ledge and would swing from 51 feet to 67 feet of water. Big fish were coming through and we caught 28 fish there in a pretty decent period of time. 14 of them were overs. Fishing got really tough after these slowed down. We had guys fishing all over this part of the lake. We could find plenty of fish to sit on but they just quit biting. It was pretty windy and tough to get the anchor set. Good fishing early and then went to pot after that. Tough one.

June 5th we bait fished about 200 yards away from the trip before. Fish still sitting in 60 plus feet of water and hitting from 37 to 45 feet. Slower day than yesterday but still catching fish. Size started to get somewhat smaller in this area.

June 4th the fish had moved to deeper water. We fished in 66 feet of water and catching them mostly around 40 to 45 feet. All of this was on bait. It was sometimes very fast and them would slow down until the next group moved in. Fished just outside where we launched from.

Today was a crazy one! Got out around 6:30 after the first storms of the morning passed. Went up on the reliable ledge and it was slow. Fish were biting but the weather had them confused. Had a few in the box including about a 6 pounder when the next round of storms ran us off the water for about 30 minutes. Went back to the same spot and the fish had slowed down even more. The winds switched to the SE at about 20 mph and it got big. We headed over toward Preston point to get out of the big water and tried 33 feet of water marking fish but no real takers. Moved farther South with the wind break and tried several different levels and got no good bite. Wind is now switching directions again but not blowing as hard. Went back to Preston Point and caught a few in 25 feet. Got a call that the fish had moved into deep water over the Red River and headed back South. Finished up fishing in 66 feet of water and catching them at 30 feet. It was fast and furious to finish up the day. It took some time to get it done but had another real nice box of fish.

Didn't fish on Sunday. I spent some time with family and friends. Fishing today on 6/1 was lights out again. Lake was white capping a little when we set anchor up on the ledge I have depended on so much here lately at 34 feet. Fish were there. I had a Dad with his 11 and 8 year old. We boxed 21 nice fish in 30 minutes before it slowed down. I think we were all glad it slowed up so we could catch our breath. The fish were coming through from the bottom up to 24 feet. We caught most of them at 5 cranks up at about 30 feet. No clouds but good chop on water had the fish working. Really good fishing today with bait.
