Falcon Lake, TX 3/2-3/5
Message:
Falcon still had a tough bite going on on this trip. High winds made for some crazy boat handling, but we hammered through it and had some success. Most of our fishing was done on the Mexican side anywhere from 3 to 22 feet of water. Fish were caught in all of the following techniques: crashing cranks into trees, stroking jigs, jerking spinnerbaits, 10-12 inch worms, the flick shake, flipping, and swimbaits (both shallow and deep). My partner and I each caught our fair share of nice-sized fish. My best two were a 6-10 and a 6-2. He got a 10-1 and and a 7-0. I lost a giant on a swimbait in 6 FOW that I won't soon forget. Let her get under the boat. That one stung. If anyone gets a chance to head to Falcon, I'd highly suggesting taking that chance. You have to work to find the bite since the water's so high right now, but when you do, IT'S ON!!! Even the little ones pull hard at this place.

Tough bite? Sounds like a good trip to me....... Congrats on the six pounders! I would be stoked if I caught fish that big! Your lucky you get to hit all these sweet lakes. I remember in a past post of yours you went to Lake Amistad. Falcon Lake? Amistad? Chillin with Byron Velvick? How do you get to do all this stuff? Are you some kind of a big deal or something? HAHA..... IM JEALOUS.

I'm DEFINITELY not a big deal like Ron Burgundy...just a lucky guy that gets to work with some serious anglers from time to time. I pinch myself each time I'm out on the water while working. Falcon and Amistad were both unreal places. Funny thing is, I hit tough bites at both places. We still caught fish...especially this last trip to Falcon, but it was classified as tough conditions by the locals and other pros that were in the area. Just had to work hard for each and every bite. Apparently when Falcon is "on," it's not uncommon to catch 30-40 fish a day. We were closer to the 10-20 range. Amistad was on lockdown when I went due to 2 nasty fronts.
