Fished Saturday starting at around 7 am. Had a very difficult time getting the boat in the water, water is very low and the banks are really steep. As hard as it was getting it in it was harder pulling the boat out. started at the rocks and just kinda tooled around enjoying the day. Caught 2 real nice ones, 2 to 2 1/2 lbs around 9 then the wind kicked up. in 15 minutes there were whitecaps and the boat was real hard to keep still to fish plastics in the deep water. Used cranks and rattletraps but knew I wasn’t getting to them. There is no protection from the wind out there and ran my battery down just trying to stay by the rocks in the deep end. Water was around 6 to 8 ” visibility and the small lake was aqua colored and had about 4” visibility. After the rains yesterday, 4” in pasadena by the lake it is sure to be very muddy, the banks are all dirt and mud, but should have risen some. West Houston got 4 to 5” and north by Conroe and Magnolia got up to 7”. This should help Huntsville site. Glad to see Post Oak open again, fished it once and had great success with many good fish and that was when it was down over 6’ at the dam. Am looking forward to going out there soon. Hopefully all the lakes will start filling up now for the spring.

Not sure if any of you have fished the small pond here but I’d encourage you to budget a little time bank fishing it next time you’re out. I was there in November and after getting whipped by the wind I packed it in a little early and fished the pond before heading out. While it doesn’t look as promising as the lake, it is pretty deep for a small body and I’ve caught some good fish in there.
