Tournament anglers encouraged to consider oxygen injection in livewells

ATHENS—The hotter the weather, the more difficult it is to keep bass in livewells healthy, especially during tournaments, when heavy limits of fish may be held for several hours until weigh-in.

– Lake Mohave

Bass fishing heats up in summer, but extra effort is required by tournament anglers to maintain the health of their catch this time of year. Dissolved oxygen is the single most important factor for keeping bass alive, and an understanding of factors that affect oxygen levels will better enable anglers to keep their fish alive.

Going into May the lake is about 8ft below high pool and it looks like unless we have a real gully washer it will continue to drop. In the summer we can lose a half- inch or more a day through evaporation plus the amount of water that is released at the dam. No telling how low the lake may get.

AUSTIN – The Llano River in Texas has been named one of 10 “Waters to Watch” for 2011 in the National Fish Habitat Action Plan. The watch list doesn’t necessarily indicate waters in trouble, but points to those that will benefit from strategic conservation efforts to protect, restore or enhance them, thus providing models for good work elsewhere.

As the new owners and operators of Crazy Bear Lodge we would like to offer you our warmest greetings.  After enduring a devastating fire that nearly swallowed the lodge whole, Crazy Bear is stronger than ever.  We were very fortunate to escape without any damage, mostly in part to the fact the fire fighters were using the lodge as there home base to fight the enormous fire.  This allowed the crews to fend of the fire from our infamous rock and save Crazy Bear for the next generation of fisherman.  We allowed a couple years for the trees to recover and for the new growth to appear.  The recovery has been incredible and therefore we are taking select groups for the 2011 summer season.  Dedicated to the outdoors our team own 2 other fishing lodges in BC.  In the fall you will find us on the banks of the Bulkley River battling wild steelhead (you can learn more about this operation here).  The rest of the year we are attacking salmon and steelhead in the remote waters of the Queen Charlotte Islands (for more in click here)

Bass fishing on Caddo Lake is great with water temps ranging in the low to mid 60’s water color is stained to clear the main lake bite has been the best for me there are a lot of bites to be had fishing windy points of islands and main lake points in 2 to 4ft of water watermelon red flukes,senko’s’ gold rogues, and soft plastic creature baits are working best in these areas.

The weather has been frigid these past few days as Texas experienced a cold blast of snow, sleet, and ice in most areas of the state. I was able to escape the brunt of the storm as I headed south to begin pre-fishing for the FLW Ever-Start tournament at Choke Canyon. The weather here is not much warmer but definitely a bit more comfortable than at home. Right before I left we were catching some real nice bass on a variety of winter time baits and patterns on both Lake Fork and Monticello (power plant lake). Here are some tips that may help you if you are headed out to the lake to tackle a big winter time bass.

Fishing has been good at both Lake Fork and Lake Monticello the past couple of weeks. With the weather and water cooling off, I have been splitting trips between the two lakes. The action on Monticello has been best early on most days with Fork being the afternoon option of choice. Fish can still be caught early on Fork but the bite has been best for me when water temperatures are at their peak later in the day.
