2012 Jan 11 - FISHING REPORT
We've been fortunate to fish quite a bit in December and early January, but nothing like what we'll be doing when March arrives and we're fishing six days a week and two trips a day on many days. Most folks don't realize just how good the Wintertime action is for not only LOTS of fish, but the largest fish of the year as they are aggressively feeding and also full of eggs for the upcoming spawn.
This past Saturday Afternoon, we had both boats out for Afternoon Trips. Adam fished with new Customers ...Donnie, Angie and 12 year old Coleman Walters from Palestine as this was Colman's 12th Birthday present. (See attached picture) I fished with regulars...Joe Ready, Son Chris and Chris' Buddy JB of Dallas) . Chris and JB are also 12 years old. We left the Marina at Noon and returned a little before 4PM. In between this timeframe, the two boats combined CAUGHT over 400 White Bass, and had a couple of bonuses...a 10 lb. Blue Catfish and a 5lb. Hybrid Striper. ALL the White Bass were of the Magnum variety with many 16" plus fish! As a matter of fact, in our boat we had only ONE fish the entire Afternoon that was under the 10" minimum Keeper size. All our fish came on RSR Slabs (www.rsrlures.com) and most came from one location...a large hump in 30' water off the 287 Flats. The other bonus was the fact that only one other boat joined us the entire timeframe as we had this hugh school of hugh fish all too ourselves! Just to let you know this wasn't a fluke, I had the same exact experience on my other two trips this past week!
As long as the Winter temperatures stay mild you can expect this type of action. Last Winter, we fished all of January and February except for the one week period around the Super Bowl when we had Ice and Snow. You can also take advantage of our "Winter Special" until March 1st! Three fishermen fish for the regular two person cost of $250, or four for $300. Give us a call and Let's go Fishin'! We have openings this week after this much needed rain subsides, and even on Saturday!
Have a GREAT Day!

2011 Dec 04 - FISHING REPORT
Fishing Friends,
2011 has been our busiest year in the 11 years since we started Gone Fishin' Guide Service! We THANK YOU for that and hope you'll continue to fish with us for many years!
Last year we offered a "WINTER SPECIAL" of a Fishing Trip for Four for $300 and we're doing so again this Winter. We know that it's often difficult to find Four folks wanting to have a Great Time and Spend Less Money, so we'll also offer a Fishing Trip for Three for the Two Person rate of $250! Both offers are a 25% savings off our normal rate and hope it will entice you to get the Family and Friends on the Lake sometime in the next couple of months. As always, we'll be offering Morning and Afternoon Trips and fishing everyday except Sunday.
Last Winter was an unusually mild one and we fished more in December than we did in August or September. We also had our busiest January and February ever. The fishing was AWESOME as we caught BIGGER fish than any other time of the year! Who knows, this Winter may prove to be equally good!
Lastly, please remember we offer Gift Certificates for Christmas or any SPECIAL occasion for that SPECIAL angler!
Give us a call anytime we can be of service!

2011 Nov 01 - FISHING REPORT
Before we get into the Fishing Report for Lake Richland Chambers, Adam and I want to THANK all our Customers, Friends and the many folks who read our Reports on various websites, newspapers and magazines. We know that the Reports are being read because we've received calls and requests for information about our Lake. We are blessed in that we've been able to do what we love (Fishing and Hunting in the Great Outdoors) and meet LOTS of wonderful folks who started out as Customers and became Good Friends!
We had some really good fishing during the late October & early November timeframe, and if the Cold Fronts don't get too severe, it will continue into December. The White Bass have been on their aggressive Fall/Winter feeding patterns lately. The key is being on the Lake when they are the most aggressive and then you get easy limits of White bass and often some of the BIG Old Hybrid Stripers.!
We're still catching most of our fish on RSR Glitter Shad Slabs in Silver or Chartreuse colors. We're also placing a small Crappie Jig about 18" above the Slab and sometimes catching "Doubles". The key is to move the Slab slowly off the bottom and set the hook on the slightest bump! The bite can get very "soft" and sometimes difficult to detect as the water temps get cooler. I tell our Customers that 'When in doubt, set the Hook!" The Whites have been in the normal Fall/Winter locations with the Windsock Point and Pelican Island areas producing late in the Morning and early Afternoon. We've found most of our Hybrid Stripers off the Hwy 309 Flats and also up near the Old 287 Roadbed.
Thanksgiving and then Christmas are almost here and Kids will be out of school for a couple of weeks. If you want to get on the Lake for some "Catchin" or would like a Gift Certificate for that special Fisherman or Fisherwoman, give us a call.
Happy Holidays and Good Fishin'!
