**Area vic B0148C and south to the 60′ countour – 19 fish in 2 short hopsįull-time, Professional Fishing Guide and Owner of Holding the Line Guide Serviceīelton Lake Fishing Guide, Stillhouse Hollow Fishing Guide **Area vic B0041G to B0042G – 57 white bass via smoking slabs in 2 short hops **Area 1019 to B0197 – early morning downrigging for 6 smallish white bass Summer fishing patterns slowly beginning to unfold.Įlevation: 0.26′ high, 0.25′ drop, 1607 CFS flow Fish are beginning to move off of deeper bottom features. OBSERVATIONS: No evidence of spawning shad whatsoever. We flipped back and forth between smoking and downrigging until around 11:15 when nothing but sparse suspended fish remained in the area. When we found more loose congregations, we employed the downriggers. When we found tight congregations, we smoked for them. When the fish thinned, slowed their feeding, or dispersed, we moved a few boat lengths very slowly to try to maintain contact with them, and did so with consistency for about an hour.Īfter this, I noted that the fish moved to our south, over deeper water, and suspended from 25 feet down to 40 feet over a 60+ foot bottom. We fished them with a smoking tactic using my Hazy Eye Slabs equipped with stinger hooks. We found our first late morning fish on bottom in 40 feet of water in a school about 25 yards in size. Within minutes of the grey skies thinning (although still fully obscuring the sun), the fish began to get active. We struggled to find fish and observed a number of Belton regulars, mainly retirees, moving and looking for fish, as we were doing.Īround 9:15 things began looking up for us when we experienced the first brighter sky conditions of the morning.
During this time, we downrigged successfully for singles, doubles, and a few triples using 3-armed umbrella rigs equipped with Pet Spoons.įrom 8A to 9:15A things got very quiet. When the white bass gave up on pushing shad to the surface, they continued feeding subsurface up shallow until 7:50AM. During this time we sight-cast spoons to individual fish using spinning gear with large arbor reels for distance.
When it did, it went for about an hour, thanks to grey skies ushered in by a light NE wind. HOW WE FISHED: We got on it early this morning - early enough that we were waiting on topwater action to begin.

COVID-19 fouled our first attempt at fishing together, then a babysitting situation scuttled our second attempt. WHO I FISHED WITH: This morning, Monday, June 1st, I fished with co-workers and friends Aaron Baggett and Josh Bias, both professors of psychology at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor in Belton, TX.
