Texas Lakes Looking Good!

April 18, 2016 by Clark Wendlandt

lake TravisMost Texas lakes are looking good! It wasn’t long ago that our Texas lakes were in bad shape – really low, very little cover, and very few ramps in the water. But look at them now! Wow. Many are back to full pool. There is cover everywhere. Take a recent trip we took filming for Fishing and Hunting Texas to Lake Buchanan – we had fished it last summer, and it was pitiful. Absolutely nothing in the water, no ramps and very few fish.  But now it’s a completely different story.  The lake is at full pool with shallow bushes all the way out to 20 feet of water. The Texas drought has been devastating in so many ways, but for Texas fisheries, drought is really very healthy in the longer term. Most fish thrive with cover of some kind. Even white bass who spend most of their time in open water still benefit from the bait fish thriving in cover.   With the water so low for so long, lots of bushes and grass grew where the water had been, and I think this is going to make the lakes that were really low like Buchanan, Somerville, and Travis, the very best they have ever been in the next few years. For fisherman and boaters alike it was about time.

Let’s talk Garmin Force. Check out this video for a few reasons why I love this trolling motor.

Garmin Fish & Hunt #garminpro #fishgarmin #fishinghuntingtexas

The Garmin Force Freshwater Trolling Motor is the most powerful and most efficient motor available. It has the power you need to counter winds and currents with the efficiency to fish all day. Wireless chartplotter integration and built-in autopilot get you to fish, along with anchor lock to stay on them. Wireless foot pedal provides instant control and responsiveness - feels and steers like a cable-steered pedal.

Fishing was brutally tough so I was thankful for every bass I caught this week, but unfortunately it was only good enough to finish middle of the pack in 52nd. Time to put it behind me and gear up for the next one. #teamoutdoors #rangerboats #yamahaoutboards #powerpole #garminpro #thmarineteam #lithiumpros #truetimber #strikeking #sunline #ownerhooks ...

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year

2020 Bassmaster Angler of the Year It is hard to put in to words how it feels to have the greatest accomplishment of my career occur in the context of the most chaotic year of my life, and I imagine many of yours too – 2020. But in the midst of all the chaos, my job, while disrupted for a few months, resumed after a few months thanks to the efforts made by B.A.S.S to provide a full season for us. I am so appreciative to them and my fellow anglers for pulling together to make this happen. And … Read More...
