My fishing report is this: Look at my screen name.
I haven't been out there in a long time. I was amazed at how low the water was. It was very clear though. I didn't see any fish except some red devils. I tried a crankbait, a topwater, and a roadrunner lure. Nothing. I even lost my favorite crankbait which I got at an Academy store in Texas. They don't do mail order and it's their house brand (H20), so I have to wait until next year to replace it. I even tried for catfish for awhile and had no bites. I also got 2 bad backlashes with my fluorocarbon line ($$), so it was an all-around bad day. At least the weather was nice. This was by boy scout island.
I hope everyone else had better luck than I did.

dont feel too bad its been ultra tuff out there in the heat.so bout where did you lose that crankbait? hahahaha, j.k. i atually retrieved these kids crank from a limb the other day across from cow point.was feeling pretty good bout my day with two bass for all my work. they flagged me down i worked the line loose and chunked it back over toward open water. they hmmed and hawed over having a boat v.s. shore fishing and what lures i had. not 10 sec after that kid started to reel than he caught a 2lb tuc right there! i was stoked for em! kids light up especially with a fish like that right. so i congrats em and they tell me its like the 5th one for em in an hour!!!! damn really know how to rub it in dont they!boat did me lots of good that day hahahaha,although i did save thier lucky crankbait!

I wish I had taken a picture of the area so I could show you. I would gladly let you have it. Better than having it rust away. It is probably no more than a foot below the surface on a tree limb about 15 feet from shore. At least it wasn't one of those expensive Lucky Crafts or an even more expensive swimbait.
On a side note, do not use Vicious Fluorocarbon. It has terrible memory. Seaguar Invis-X is a lot better. BPS fluoro is not bad, but not great.
