We added the 5th in our series of Rayburn navigation aid videos today. This one features the north shore of the Angelina arm from Powell Park up to Veach basin. It includes a waypoint in the middle of the timber in front of Five Fingers as well as a series of waypoints around the timber in the mouth of Veach.

I'd been on RR twice before, the day it opened, which if I recall correctly was January 1st and it was really cold. And then I took some friends over for some sand bass fishing a couple summers ago. Now that some larger tournaments are showing regularly I decided Sunday to go look it over...

Spent the weekend on Fork with Steve "Moonpie" Evans, overall really tough on us. No matter how hard we tried we could not get any fish to rise to a bait on a consistent basis. There were, believe it or not in July, some spinnerbait fish to be caught, but overall we had our best success catching suspended fish. I think the BassChamps results reflected that Fork was tough on us all this weekend as it only took 4.94 on a 3 fish tournament with 189 teams to cash a check. From the results it looked like 10 fish over were caught, which does seem a fair number for 350 fisherman, but less than sixty 3 fish limits caught. And by the way, congrats to two guys, don't know them, Jesse and Jeremy Flake, from North Zulch Tx, for weighing 3 keepers that weighed a grand total of 1.46 lbs... unfortunately there are no photos on the website of that stringer.
