That's great news Fred!

I actually just got off the phone with them, the new lower unit came in yesterday and they have it finished, checked out, and she's ready for me to come and get it. I have to work this weekend so...

Dang Skip, that's not a good thing to have happen at all. Thank goodness for good neighbors though! The shop up the road from you supposedly didn't work on Yamaha's, so I talked to a buddy of mine...

Looks like Chuck got you hooked up Randy. It's a pretty good site for N-Tx lakes. Very little is discussed outside of there though, but very little gets discussed about Rayburn anywhere LOL!

Ferdi - I have your house number in the phone also, I was going to give you a call if I wasn't going to be able to make it in with the trolling motor, but those two guys gave me a pull.

SK - The...

Good luck up there, and let us know how you do!

They didn't say Fred, but I'll ask them when I go pick it up Friday week. I'm glad it happened where it did, because there were very few boats out that I saw, if I'd have been on down past the long...

Me too chuck. I was thinking the worst, so the cost of a new lower unit is considerably cheaper than what I had braced myself for!

Chuck,
Sent you a PM with another site that is basically 98% about the north Texas lakes. Those guys will help you out.

Got up to Rayburn Thursday night, charged the batteries a went out Friday mid morning. Ran up the Attoyac to the high lines but hit the muddy water so turned around and headed back towards main lake....

I fish all winter down here in Texas, so about the only winterization is taking the big motor all the way down to drain water from the hub, just in case it drops down below freezing some night.

Chuck - Cassels-Boykin is under long term lease by Angelina County so the Corp wouldn't have been able to shut it down. I just got up here so if you want I can run over there tomorrow and make sure....

Hey Josh, how does the color hold up? I've always used Fireline bright green, it fades to white fairly quick. That said, I've had it on 6 jiggin poles for four years, I need to unspool and then re...

I never saw it, but it wasn't me LOL!

I like all three of those Skip, probably #1 the best followed by #3. A blue tail on #3 would look good, black might be interesting too...

Nice catch!
Hope you got a mark on that PVC pile. Noticed Mayes is about 5' low so when she come back up to pool that pile will be hard to find.

Thanks for posting that up Skip. I'd take at least 4 of them, and I'm sure Fred, Chuck, and Phil would like some as well.

I used to do it all the time in my bass boat with a foot controlled TM using 8' or 10' jigging poles (with bait casters), not necessarily trolling but I'd fish bridge pilings and standing timber...

Everyone seems to be pretty busy. Found out yesterday that even though I'm heading to the lake for the holiday, I'm not sure how much fishin I'm going to get to do. Have a pig roast in San Augustine...

Lowrance HDS stuff on my boat.

Welcome to the site.

Thanks Chuck. I had a good talk with Fred today on the phone, sounds like he's got his toon running right and the electronics as well. Planning on getting with him over Labor Day and sinking some...

Will be 53 in October.

Hey everyone! I've been out of pocket for awhile due to work, haven't been fishin for a month and probably won't get to Rayburn again till Labor Day weekend. Looks like the level on Rayburn has...

Yes

I use slab bandits 99% of the time. Favorite's are Texas Toast, Dirty Chicken, and Joker's Wild, but have caught fish on every color at one time or another I think.

I'll be up there that weekend, and possibly on Monday also. I'll give you a call if I'm going to be there Monday and maybe we can go, Lord knows the 147 bridge area has been giving me a whooping so...

Thanks Phil, I replied to the PM. I will give you a call later today or maybe tomorrow. I was wondering about heading on down further just to look around, I'm just hard headed and kept trying water...

Glad you got into some fish pccurr. Been here since Wednesday night and haven't caught a mess yet. I haven't crappie fished much in the summer time, and I'm fairly new to Rayburn and know I haven't...

Yeah, I've been working 05:30 till 19:00 everyday since Monday the 13th. We started demolition on the exterior walls of an old Fiesta grocery store Monday the 13th, by Saturday noon the 18th the...
