2010 March 05 - Fishing Update
We're used to giving you Fishing Reports with news of Big Fish and LOTS of them. However, we try and report the news like it is and submit this Report as proof that even a Fisherman can tell the truth every once in a while! :)
What a difference a year makes! Last year at this time, the Lake level was about 5' low, the Weather was Warm & Dry and the aggressive Spring Fishing had already kicked in gear. This February, with all the fresh water, the Spillway Gates have been open for a couple of months, the Lake is over Pool Level,the Wind, Rain and Snow has literally kept us off the Lake almost all year and when we have been out, it's been tough fishing. As a matter of fact, we had 10 trips scheduled the past couple of weeks and ALL were cancelled. Oh well.....Spring is just around the corner and we'll be off and running! If you're one of the many folks on the March Calendar, keep your fingers crossed for a week of warm weather to get the fish in the feeding mode. We'll be calling or e-mailing those of you who have trips next week to give you an update and if necessary, talk about rescheduling. We want everyone to experience Richland Chambers fishing at its' BEST and maximize on the FUN! Last year during Spring Break week, the fishing was as good as it gets with LOTS of BIG fish and an Ice Chest full of Keepers every trip out! We expect the same this year!
Here's the latest update for March and Spring Break Week.....We still have at least one boat open each of the Saturdays in March except for the 27th. During the Week of Spring Break, we have a boat open on Tuesday & Thursday. After Spring Break week, we have several Weekdays with a boat open. Adam and I are getting excited about Spring and hope you are too! Attached are some photos from Spring Break week a couple of years ago to get the heart pumping. Give us a call and Let's Go Fishin'!
Good Luck and Good Fishin'!

2010 February 22 - MARCH REPORT
Adam and I always look forward to March as it signals that Spring is here, fish begin to bite more aggressively, and we're usually on the Lake six days a week!
March gets everyone excited about getting on the lake again! It's especially exciting for us as we get to fish with a LOT of Kiddos and Families that take a "Spring Break" Trip! Over 50% of our Trips in March are with Kids!!! Texas Public Schools have their Spring Break this year the week of March 15th. White Bass and Kids are made for each other! The Whites will still be in the deeper water in the Main Lake area. The Windsock Point, Pelican Island, and the Long Arm Branch are all good areas to start your search. Drop a RSR Chartreuse or Silver Glitter Slab off the Points and Humps in 25'-35' water and bounce it along the bottom. Watch for the Gulls and if you're new to the Lake, find those areas where you have a few other folks fishing, and join them.
Adam will begin conducting some Spring Crappie Trips this month, and the action normally gets more consistent and better as we move into mid March & April. The Creeks and Coves we have fished in the past are at a good water level this year versus being extremely high last Spring, and you can bet the Crappie will adapt and not miss the opportunity to Spawn in the shallows. Small minnows below bobbers is a tried and proven method, but Adam likes to Jig Fish. Both methods will put some of the "Best Eating Fish" in the Lake in the Ice Chest.
Almost all the fish species will be on a more aggressive bite as we begin the Spring. Don't miss the opportunity to get out and enjoy God's Creation! We'll be conducting Morning & Afternoon Trips to accommodate as many Folks as possible. If you have questions, want to take a Fishing Trip, or just need a current Fishing Report, give us a call at 903-389-4117.
Thanks and Have A Great March!
