    Report: Went out on the lake at 0700 and inished at 1400. Shaking dark colored worms in 15-25 eet o water on rock clis seemed to be the ticket. Caught 8 ish, a couple o which had good size or Millerton spotted bass. Action started about 1100 and was constant until the time I quit. Missed SEVERAL ish, so my total could have been higher. Nobody to blame but mysel...

    Tips: Dark colored worms (dark browns, purples, and blacks) in six inch Texas with some glass or noise. 15-25 depths along steep rock clis. Work it airly slow with short hops.

    Report: Been up to the lake several times since Chrismas, and the bite or me has been the same. I never get to the lake until about 10:00, so I don't know what the early bite is. I have been catching tournament winning ish at 72' to 85' deep on rock piles in the main lake. These ish range rom 14'' to 3#'s. All the ish that I have been catching have been caught using drop shot method, with 4# test maxima line, with 4" & 6" shad colored worms. These deep ish are gorging themselves with shad & sculpins. Now that the rains have begun, look or the ish to move up to shallow water.

    Tips: Don't be araid to ish deep & deeper, use light line to let the bait all guickly.

    Report: Went up with a riend and caught all kinds o ish. The action at millerton was wide open. Caught all my ish on the main lake using a our inch worm in a dark color (my secret) but ill tell you that the rig was a split shot. the bigger ish o course was a pressure bite. The big ish was a 3 1/2 pound spot that was in about 3 eet o water. I'd say what i used but my buddy Mario might ind out and take advantage o the situation...HAHAHHA MARIO!!!

    Tips: Fish shallow and cast right to the bank. I ished alot o brush to get the numbers....but the bigger ish came o the rocks in the main lake. good luck!!!
