Re: Eastman & Hensley Lakes
I got my boat out yesterday and clean it up but it will
be Sept before I start fishing
The reports are starting to come in and there have been some nice Bass being caught over the last month and a half. At Eastman the tanks will start showing even more now as they drop the lake more. I'm by Aug 1st they shut it off then it will pick up even more
Evening Ambush time will start.
I'm starting to build baits again slowly but it feels good to get back in the shop.
