bh89-2 Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 Guys and Gals:I am fishing Rayburn this weekend and have not been on the lake in about a year. I heard the lake was a few feet low and I assume after being very low for the last few years the grass may not be where I am used to seeing it. Starting from the South end of the lake, can anyone point me in the direction of grass in 3-5 feet of water and deeper, as well as lilly-pads. Looking for both if you don't mind. Areas I was plannig to look at first are: Buck Bay, Shirley Creek, Tiger Creek, Mill Creek. Any comments or suggestions welcome.
gringo Posted October 25, 2007 Report Posted October 25, 2007 I like Shirley Creek ( but it's a long boat ride from the south end ) it's not that big of an area but it doesn't seem to get the pressure the others do - if your gonna go that far you might as well stop by the deer stand area (every body else does) - deer stand gets alot of boat traffic but usually holds some good fish. Numbers don't seem to be a problem on Rayburn but keeprs are some times hard to find.

Got a tip that some better fish have been coming on lilly-pads.
bh89-2 Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Posted October 31, 2007 Well, how did it go? Give us a report!Hey bud, I sure wish I could. :( We fished all year to qualify for the State Tourney and did not even wet a hook during it. My fishing partner got tied-up at work Friday and missed the manditory meeting that was to be held that night. This disqualified him and without any pre-fish time I did not want to waste my time and money to fish it alone. Had it not been a full moon, high pressure and strong North winds, I may have had a go at it. Under the weather conditions of last week, no thanks. I do appreciate the info, regardless.
bh89-2 Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Posted October 31, 2007 Oh, not all was lost. I went off-shore Saturday out of Freeport and we caught limits of very good snapper, Big AJ's, one Ling and some very nice mangrove snapper. ;D ;D
