    Report: Went houseboating and ishing or two weeks on Trinity Lake. The lake is absolutely beautiul. Water level was dropping at a ast rate. Was able to catch a bunch o dinks but still could not get any ish over 2 pounds. Was a un time as most ish came on the top with small crank baits thrown next to riprap steep banks worked in the extreme north end o the lake near the "Rock Piles". Be very careul i you decide to venture into this area as many o the rock piles are just under the water. Good luck and tight lines

    Tips: Downsize your line to 6-8lb test, water was very clear.

    Report: Fishing was diicult but managed some quality ish. Only 8 ish total, but most were between 3 1/2 and 4 3/4. All largemouth. Smallies are spawning on main lake lats, largemouth were staging in 8 to 14 oot o water. Fish were located in looded brush, were suspended and eeding early, but once sun hit the water, the bite ceased, we did not get a bite ater 9 am. Jerkbaits and crankbaits were the ticket early. Probably should have moved deep and slowed down ater morning bite, but were stubborn trying to get brush ish to hit. No ish on rockpiles.

    Tips: Fish were agressive and easy to catch early with jerkbaits and crankbaits. Once sun hit water, some sort o tube on lats might work since we saw plenty o ish there but could not get them to hit hardbaits or splitshot worms. Crawish and clown colors seemed best.

    Report: Wie and I rented a houseboat or a week and had the old bass boat in tow.Fishing shallow with an small 5 inch worm as always producedlots and lots o small ish. I moved out and drited pointswith a "Morning Dawn" Magic worm in about 30 eet o waterand the ish were bigger. Nailed several near or slightly over2 pounds. Also had a blast with a baby rat-l-trap gold. Tossthat little guy into good cover rip it out then stop it. Mosto the bigger ish would chase it and you could see them. Onceit stopped they would nail it and ish on.

    Tips: Although the stumps we see on the shoreline are hard not to throwat I believe that the smaller ish are in this structure. WhenI ocused on deeper points and structure the ishing slowed down butthe quality was there. A BIG HINT would be to locate someo the man made beds that some generous angler set up. I knowwhere several are and the ones rom 20-30 eet hold nice ish.Get your polarized glasses and do some scouting or these. Mosto them can be ound in coves that have secondary points. Theycan be seen just need to look close.Good luck.
