Falcon lake Fishing Report 6-10-12

[bh89-2]

Well, getting some tower work done on offshore boat, so headed down to Falcon Sunday to catch a few bass and see if my bass fishing skills have not washed off with the salt water.  Lake was 31 feet low and dropping, which is not uncommon for Falcon, and the wind was blowing about 15-20 out of South.  We decided to hire a guide since the boat has not been pulled in almost 2 years and was worried about wheel bearings and water pump.  Fished with Jay Geishaw - 956-754-0626 and what  a nice guy and great guide.  Highly recommend him!  We fished between 7AM and 11:30AM.

Flipping brush hogs, jogs, and super flukes (any natural color) into hard timber near ditches and deep water on the Mexican side.  Also some fish holding on submerged bridge in Valeo. Watch for the bridge though because it's only 3 feet below surface and is likely going to be hazard in the next week or so.

Catch Report:
1 fish lost over 10 lbs (rod broke and bushed got me)
5 fish between 8 and 9 lbs
4 fish between 6 and 7 lbs
several over 5
many between 2-4 lbs

Very impressive report. (pictures would have been nice) It's good to see a report from you even if it is fresh water. ;)

My partner took a few with his I-Phone, but I can't see the image with my blackberry to download and save it.  Man I suck at taking fishing pics.  I get so busy fishing I just forget to do it.  A lot of the fish we caught we intentionally didn't put them in the boat, so other than one or two pictures not much to show.  I'll try to put a few on here this evening.

OK, here is a couple pics from weekend.  I posted a few others from 2 years ago, which was last trip down there. One picture is of fish that did not make it in a tournament so I brought them home to clean.  NO I didn't kill a bunch of big fish, I ALWAYS release larger fish that I don't need for tournament weigh-in.  95 degree water and people that don't know what they were doing killed our fish.

Late september or October are great months on Falcon.  If someone wants to go but is worried about fishing Falcon or just needs info, give me a shout.
