Lake Ray Roberts - Squaw Creek
Beginners or Experienced
On Water Instruction

      

January    

We have all been really chompin' at the bit to go fishing all winter. February starts my very favorite    time of the fishing season. The big Momma's are full of eggs
and hungry. They need strength for the upcomming task of spawning. You don't have   to find warm water yet.
They are just staging, getting ready to go into the shallows.
I have found through the years that the first breakline off the shallows near a creek, you can hang some of the biggest bass of your life. They are looking for a    "full meal deal", not just an appetizer. Big and bulky works for me.  Cranks that dive to 20 ft.  are ideal. 1oz. Spinner baits,
1/2 oz. Jig & Pig , and Lizards from 6" up to  Monticello size will get you bit! Fish north banks   with protection from the wind. Last February I saw with my own eyes a bass    about the size of a coffee   thermos get swallowed
whole by a huge bass in 
Hammer Creek. After that, I
have a saying "There is no bait too big".
