After thunderstorms on Saturday guest and I fished from 9 to 5 under cloudy,mid 50’s temps and steadily increasing winds up to upper teens. Both docks (I guess they aren’t floating)we’re slightly under water so I’d say the lake is full. Total of 13 bass ranging from 1 1/2 to 3 1/2 but they fight a lot heavier. Three caught on top water right off the bat, then balded jig, worms and cranks. I caught 6 crappie on square bill up near bank. Nice big v-hull jonboat. Fun times on the water.

Both docks have water on them, they weren’t completely under water but you wouldn’t want to walk on them. Weather report on Saturday showed Palestine getting .5 inches but maybe this place got a lot more than that. Did not see owner. Forgot to mention that we saw a Bald Eagle and an ottor, at least we think it was an ottor -I didn’t have binoc in boat but it didn’t appear to be a beaver or nutria as its head was smaller and tail was longer. Do we have ottors in TX?
