We fished the creek during the spawn , between the rains and the other things that we had to do, we didn't get to fish as much as we liked nor did we catch as many as we had wanted to. It seemed that the lack of winter got them spawning a little earlier that usual and the lack of water in the lake didn't help much, but we did get the rains. The lake was 5.5 ft low and we had 2 good rains that filled it up, an then it was on like Donkey Kong, you had a small window of opportunity this year as they started letting water out of Lavon and the fish went up the Trinity to the Lake Lavon dam and opted out of Rowlett Creek. The Lavon dam is accessible but there were so many folks down there it was worst than the creek.
Now we shall fish in the main lake, Ray Hubbard that is. I bank fish a lot for catfish close to the house and have been out about 6 times for 2 hours or less. Seems that the winds have blown very hard each time I go.
I went yesterday, which was Sunday to a new spot for me, there were these 2 guys close by , they had said they caught 2 fish in the last 4 hours. I checked the pressure after I had set up , it wasn't all that high, 30.12, and falling so I am blaming that for the lack of bites for me.
I use a homemade bait that I got from a young man on the Texas Fishing Forum it is chicken gizzards soaked in some nasty stuff, I use chicken liver's and shrimp soaked in in stuff that I put together and several types of punch and dip baits. I have told myself that I will go at least once a week and more if possible.
