LARGEMOUTH are fair in 12'-25' of water on Carolina rigged 4" pumpkin Sliding Weight Craw Fish (www.slidingweight.com)and slow-rolling a 3/4 or 1 oz. Blue Shad Heavy T spinnerbait(www.terminatorlures.com) along ledges. Early, topwaters and Tiny-T buzzbaits are producing along rocky points with trees and
grass. Try grape Scoundrel worms (www.cremelure.com) on
whacky rigs and pitching a 3/16 oz. watermelon Terminator Finesse Jig to boat docks with deep water under them.
STRIPERS are very good for the first hour or so of daylight on the surface on Rat-L-Traps (www.rat-l-trap.com) and threadfin Berkley topwater walkers (www.purefishing.com) for the surface action.
Then switch to 3" Lit'l Fishie Shads and Pirk Minnows. Trolling Curb's striper jigs 18'-25' is productive the rest of the day.

Court Order by the County Judge of Comal County
"For the sake of the public safety of the citizens of Comal County and to prevent illegal entry to property, all watercraft motorized and non-motorized and all people are prohibited from the waters of Canyon Lake and Guadalupe River located in Comal County." All U.S. Army Corps of Engineers operated parks and boat ramps at Canyon Lake are currently closed. These areas will
remain closed until the flood waters have receded and repairs to park facilities have been completed.
Dam releases will be increased substantially beginning Saturday, October 10 to drop the lake level approximately 1 foot every three days. At that rate it will take about 69 days for the level to reach 920'. The Judge has promised to lift the ban at 918-920 msl.
