Nov-12-fish report Reel um N Guide Service Owner Lynn Atkinson Water Temp. 65 Water Clarity 2-3 feet 11/11/08 Sam Rayburn is at 156.88 ft and has been slowly fallin' a little thru out the week. The water temperature has been around 65 degrees. The water has been murky in places from the north wind that blew in on Tuesday. Sam Rayburn is LOW !!!!!!! Over 7.5 ft LOW. I can't put into words how dangerous it is to run around the lake in areas that you have run before. I have seen a lot of boats run aground and tear things up. If you have never been here before you might want to hire a guide. Let him show you how to get around and few good places to fish. It could save you sometime and money. Now; for the fishing report. We've been out several times this week. One trip up river we found a lot of fish holding close to cover in the stained water. The best fish where caught in the lip on the right side. No I can't pull your leg that hard, the best fish were around the mouths of the creeks in 6 to 12 ft of water. Coming back down the river the pattern changed and the fish were holding closer to the grass edges from 2 to 12 ft. Several different baits were used to catch these fish and will be in the tips and tidbits page. On Tuesday we went out to get wet and catch a few more fish, about 15 in all. The best one weighed around 4.5 lbs. I know a bad day fish is better than a good day at work, or that's what they say. It was to rough to fish a lot of my good spots and look for another 10.02 like the one caught a few weeks back. We still had a great time on the water fishing when we could. As the water continues to cool down even more you should see a lot of fish moving in to fatten up for winter. So don't just sit at home and let the beautiful days pass you by, get your trips booked now. I know the report is late but we've been working on a new data base to update the old fishing reports. There are 3 years of reports that will be available in the next few days with pictures of the week. This is a lot of info for the hard core angler to use to help get an idea of what the fish may be doing at any given time. There will be little tips and tidbits on fishing Sam Rayburn there also. The City of Warsaw is out of the water on the south side. I have had a lot of folks asking where that is. This may help you in finding it. If you're running up the lake and you go under the 147 bridge to the long cut up the Angelina River it is just before you get to the timber line. The old Rail Road ran beside the town and unloaded rail cars there. The Crappie have been moving around a lot with some up the river and some over the brush piles. We did get out and catch a few off the New Pontoon boat that we have at Jackson Hill Marina. We are booking trips for the spring so don't wait to long. Round up your friends and get your trip booked. We can handle up to 10 anglers on the pontoon. If you haven't heard about The Bass Class on the water check it out on the website and give me a call. Come on down and learn some nifty little tricks that will put some fish in the boat. God Bless Lynn Atkinson srayburn@rayburncountry.com www.rayburncountry.com Home 936-897-3400 Cell 979-220-0251
