Lake Ray Hubbard Fishing Guide Report

Lake Ray Hubbard has been very good for late June thru Early July .Summer is here and did it come in with strong heat. Early morning shallow excitement then looking on structure. I am starting early so hopefully we can get off the water before the temps get too hot! Please remember I offer trips 7 days a week and if you get the chance to fish during the week and beat the boat traffic it usually pays off.

White Bass Patterns

Lake Ray Hubbard from mid July till August can get hot. The early morning schooling has started and truthfully it usually gets better the hotter it gets.Look for open deep water schooling later in the morning, remember to throw your slab out and let it sink to the bottom then burn it threw the fish. I am starting on the flats around the Harbor, Robertson Park , Jetty and Red Barn Cove. You have to just pick your spot and go with it. The white bass schools are getting bigger and when they school its pretty exciting. Once the sun rises they seem to get going. Later in the morning they move off the shallows and roam the deep parts of the lake, don’t be surprised to see fish schooling in 35 ft water through out the day. When the early morning action slows down I put my nose in my electronics and search on humps, levees and long points. The water is warming and the thermocline is setting in around 16-17 ft and the fish will be located in that depth and shallower most of the summer. When it heats up and looking on structure don’t forger to check the deep water around those areas and they will suspended.

White Bass Lures

I use a couple set ups this time of year. I will start the morning off with an inline spinner . My other is a slab/jigging spoon. The slab I use is 3/4 to 1 oz slab as the bait they are feeding on is larger in the summer. If you have the equipment and can stand the heat, throwing 2 oz slabs down south will produce hybrids. If fishing an open flat I throw the inline spinner , throwing shallow and of coarse on humps the slab set up.
