Lake O’the Pines: Come on cooler weather! Where has it not been raining? The lake came up about 1/3 a foot do to last weeks rains cooling surface temps slightly. The smaller profiles are the ticket right now. Dock fishing has been up and down. Good limits of cats are being caught on punch baits in lay downs around 16-20 feet. Bigger cats are coming off standing timber. If you’re needing quality plastics or hand ties check out Kellyville Three Way or Brushy landing on the lake.

Caddo Lake by Mark Allen: Caddo Lake is getting back to normal levels and the Big Cypress Bayou current is slowing down. The bass fishing has been awesome and it is a great time to be on Caddo. I would suggest getting on the lake early or late to avoid the summer time heat that has really started to settle in. As the weather becomes a little more stable and the water level is at normal pool, the fishing has been a lot of fun. Take a kid fishing and show and teach them something that they can enjoy the rest of their lives.  We have been catching a lot of our bass on topwaters and the Texas rigged worm.  These techniques are easy to learn and use and is really producing on our guide trips.
