Tim (txrayner) headed out to Amon Carter Lake yesterday. Normally this lake isn’t too crowed, but today the Flower Mound Bass Club was holding their tournament there. Even though at first we it looked like this small lake would be over run, it actually was not. The members we did meet as we fished during the day were respectful and courteous. Besides the tournament I immediately noticed that the lake had come up 3 feet from last week. The storm system blew through here Tuesday afternoon dumped a lot of water in the lake. Even with the added water the lake was very clear. It always surprises me how this lakes water clarity is not affected by a large amount of rain. All the places that I saw bass setting up beds last week were now 3 feet deeper. We did not see any fish on the bed today. I’m beginning to wonder if they got a chance to spawn on this lake. Being north of DFW they did not see water temps rise till well into late March. Today we saw 69 deg water temps down from last Sat when I saw 72 deg temps. For the most part the fish were in 3 to 10 feet of water next to timber. I only caught fish on soft plastics mostly on the Flip-tail Lizard. I like this bait because it has bulk and casts well without a weight. It sinks slowly and when fish are up shallow I find it to be great bait. I have been using this bait for over 20 years and it has had some name changes. I had a large stash of these baits and was running low on them. I finally found them on line Here at Fliptail Lures.
We only fished for about 7 hours and caught about 8 fish
between us. The largest being about 5 lbs @ 20”.
Here is a nice pic That Txrayner took.
