Weekend on Rayburn and the River

Posted by ken on August 7, 2017

Took my daughter and her husband to Rayburn for a little fun fishing this weekend. First the deep bite...where is it? I have a couple of places that normally i can catch little 12-15" Kentucky's on every cast, but they just aren't out there. We could go shallow and catch fish in the grass but that's hard to do on spinning tackle for non-everyday fisherpeople. So my buddy Clyton Boulware suggested that Saturday afternoon we drive down 69 and fish the moving water in the river below Rayburn damn. Water is beautiful, 78 degrees, very large alligators, tons and tons of little Kentuckies, we had a blast. Had 3 packs of Senkos with us, went through all of them. Then broke out the H&H spinnerbaits I bought at Brookshire Bros in Zavalla, they will absolutely eat them up. If you want something different, or want to teach a kid to fish somewhere that you can get lots of bites.....the river is awesome right now.
