Before I get into the lake map thing or the fishing reports I just want to say we did get some rain. Richland Chambers Reservoir has come up over a foot the last week and is still rising. We are going to get rain just about all week.
We have had request to carry the Top Spot Fishing Maps / Pasadena Hot Spot Fishing Maps. These maps well known to Texas Anglers a few years ago. They are hard to find now but the only reason is that the name changed. They are still top quality fishing maps just with a different name. They do cost a little more than the others but are well worth it. We will have them on our site soon. Texas Lake Maps
Catfishing has been great on rods using Danny King's Catfish Bait or shrimp with lots of limits. Most being caught in 2 to 4ft of water but some being at just about any depth. Jug and trot lines doing good baited with live perch.
Black Bass have been good fishing shallow 2 to 6ft deep with lizards, spinner baits and rattling baits. Some good size bass being in the 5 to 6lb range and a few up to 7lbs. Stumps and laydowns holding the better numbers of fish.
Sand Bass have started schooling a little scattered through out the lake. Watch for the birds and use a Rattle Trap, Tail spinner or shallow running crank bait.
Crappie scattered but starting to be caught in 14 to 25ft of water around timber suspended. Minnows working best.
Thanks, Larry&Janeen

On our last post we said we would have some Shirley Temple dolls that we haven't carried before. Well they sold before we could ever get them on the site. Janeen's Shirley Temple Dolls

Richland Chambers Reservoir is still over 5 1/2 ft low but our boat ramp here at Midway Landing is still fine.
Catfish have been going crazy for most folks with lots of limits on rod and reels using shad or Danny King's Catfish Bait. Frozen shad are working fine but fresh seem to be doing a little better. Catching the fresh shad has been spoty. We need a little more warm up on the water to get them moving up to the bank. Maybe next week. Jug and trotlines are doing good baited with live perch with a few yellow cats showing up.
Black Bass off and on fair. Most coming shallow on spinner baits or lizards. Not a lot of big fish showing up but several in the 2 to 4lb range. 1 to 4ft seems to be best.
Sand Bass fair with most being caught suspended 8 to 15ft deep. A few are starting to surface and being caught on rattle traps or tail spinners.
Not a lot going on with the crappie. The creeks they normally move into this time of year are mostly dried up but it won't be long before they move out to their summer homes.
Thanks, Janeen & Larry

We are going to be getting some more 30 and 36 inch Shirley Temple Dolls from the 80's shortly. We should have them up on the website in the next 2 weeks. Janeen's Shirley Temple Dolls
