sept 19 fish report Reel um N Guide Service By Lynn Atkinson 08/31/08 Sam Rayburn is at 160.10ft, the water temperature has been around 84 degrees. The water is clear to around 2 ft. We did get out before the Big Storm on Sunday and had a pretty good morning coming up with 15 fish the biggest running and 3 lbs. Most our fish where caught in water from 2 to 14 ft off ledges and structure. We had a few bites on the frog early and then moved out to deeper water to try our luck and picked up a few more on C/R and T/R. Some of the bites on the T/R where very soft and difficult to feel, that's where having a good rod comes into play. American Rodsmiths makes some great rods. Just pickup one of the Team Series up and you will feel the difference. I can't tell you how many fish I catch just because I can feel them thru the rod. We had a few hits on Crankbaits off the points but they didn't want to chase it very far. I would say things are about to change with the storm coming in with some much needed rain. It doesn't look to bad here today. We'll just have to see how things fall and how much rain we get. I'll try to let you guys now how things look after the storm. We got out and caught a few Crappies over the many brush piles that we've put out. Some of the Crappie have been huge and the kids have had a ball catching them. Remember get the kids out fishing and have some fun. We are looking to add a 22 ft pontoon boat in the next few weeks that will be used on the larger Crappie trips. We may also be doing tours or renting the pontoon with a captain to do the driving. It will be based out of Jackson Hill Marina so look for more updates. The Cat fish have slowed down this week.
