Lake Ray Roberts Fishing Report,

Lake Ray Roberts is about 6 inches below normal level with water temperature 84 to 87. Sand bass fishing is very good with topwater schooling happening every morning. The past 2 days I have seen some deep bite under the schooling fish on Jiggin Spoons. The deep fish are always bigger than the topwater fish but there is plenty of good keepers coming from topwater fishing. This time of year we are looking for fish feeding on top on shad and then fishing for them. I look for schooling fish even if we are after the deep fish as just finding deep fish in the middle of Summer does not mean they will bite. The best bait for topwater fish has been my Floatin Thing with clear Tiny Torpedoes and Pop-R's working good also. For the deep fish under the schooling fish we are using Cotton Cordell 3/4 oz. chrome CC Spoons with a Flies-By-Night fly tied 14 inches above the spoon for doubles. One thing we do to help to keep catching fish after the school has gone down is just keep fishing in the area. Sometimes the biggest fish are just hanging around the area and will bite if a bait goes by. A lot of times there is other boats around the schooling fish and they leave as soon as the fish go down and we sometimes have our best fishing after all the other boats leave.

Have fun fishing,

Tim
