12/03/12 Some beautiful day for
December and the fishing not bad. Capt'n Mike
Capt'n Mike,
December 3, folks our
water temp is still 58 to 60 degrees in the afternoon.
The bite is good to
excellent depending on the wind. I am catching my fish on
Sinkos, Jerk Baits, Crank
Baits and my special bait which has been my #1
producer for the past
year. Hopefully they will be on the market soon Corporate
wheels spin slowly. There
are some real nice fish being caught, when the water
temp drops to around 50
to 55 degrees the fish will go shallow, although there
are some real nice fish
being caught shallow, but they are far and few between.
Winter hasn't even hit
yet, give me a call, I'll see what the wind is going to do and
watch the fronts in order
to give you the best day, that I know the fish will
bite. Business is slow
right now due to winter time and the holiday season.
I'm am pretty much
available, I also have a winter time rate of 300.00
for 1 to 2 people. I also
have gift certificate for 300.00 for 1 to 2
people. Let's go fishing.
Until next time I'm
Phillip Pool and I'm Gone Fish'n.

11/26/12 Sure could use a rain,
but the lake is still in good shape. Capt'n Mike
Captn Mike,
I fished with Elliott
Goodwin right before Thanksgiving.
Our day started out
slow with just 2 small fish
and we moved to some
deeper water ledges, Our day turned
out very good
considering that we had a light west wind.
Our total catch of
the day in the boat was 20 fish. We should
have been in the 30
or 40 fish, but we lost a lot of fish.
Some were small but
many of them were quality, chunky fish
I just got off the
phone with my brother Danny who got on
a good bite before
the cold front hit and his biggest fish
was 5.8 lbs and I had
one of my clients who has been fishing
with me all year
long, at least once a month, he was fishing
out of his boat and
broke his all time best, a heavy 7 lbs.
Congratulations
Daniel !!! We have a little cold front blowing
through today the
26th. The forecast for the next 7 days
is supposed to be in
the 70's even reaching into the 80's.
This is going to be a
great week for fishing. I have gone to
my winter rate which
is 300.00 a day due to the short days.
Let's go catch'em
during this fantastic fall weather.

11/13/12 They have got to go
shallow soon. Capt'n Mike
Captn Mike,
On Nov 7, I fished with
Chris Angerer we had no wind and
the fishing was tough we
caught 8 to 10 fish all small. That afternoon
the wind started blowing
and we were watching the fish stage in deep
water. I told Chris that
the next day the fish would bite.
On Nov 8, I fished with
Larry Burt we boated 22 fish and had 2
very nice fish jump and
throw our baits. The wind was blowing around
20 mph.
On Nov 9, I fished with
Dick and Rhonda Robertson for the 3rd time
this year. We boated 20
fish, we could have put 40 or 50 in the
boat but I was hard
headed and trying to fish in a very windy area
in 30 mph winds. All and
All it was a good week with my 2 biggest
fish during the week was
a solid 5 lb and heavy 6 lb.
Most of our fish were
caught on deep diving crank baits and a special
shad colored bait that I
make that is going into production.
Not a bad 3 days when you
put around 60 fish in the boat. I'm
catching my fish where no
one would even think about fishing
They are in the middle of
the lake, in 40 to 60 ft of water suspended
at 20 to 30 ft of water.
The shallow water bite just wasn't there.
We had a major cold front
Saturday and Sunday and it is fading away.
Looks like a good week in
store for us on Lake Alan Henry.
Wind blows fish bite,
Wind don't blow fish don't bite.

Hopefully the picture came through this time. Here is the 30lb
flathead and 8lb blue we caught 2 weekends ago. The fishing was pretty slow due
to the lake turning over.

11/03/12 A little windy today but
should slow down this afternoon, maybe this front will do some good. Cap'n
Mike
Captn Mike,
Nov 1st I fished with
Daniel Baza. Daniel fishes with
me once a month every
Month. We had a very light south
wind, and the bite was
tough as the day went on the wind
picked up to around 15
mph and we were watching the fish on
the electronics start to
stage. Around 1:00 pm Daniel hung a
monster fish he had him
on for about 1 min and the fish pulled
the hooks loose, it was a
very exciting minute. I keep all the
drags on my rods locked
down t keep the fish from running into
the brush. Long story and
a sad story the fish pulled the hooks loose
after ripping drag out. I
thing our total catch for the day was
around 10 fish.
The next day Nov 2nd I
fished with Tommy Arenivas our day started
out slow also. We were
catching fish but far and few between, we were
waiting on the wind to
blow and when the wind started blowing out of the
southwest at around 20 to
25 mph the fish started grouping up, and they
turned on big time. Our
total catch of the day was around 40 fish with the
biggest one in the boat
going around 5 lbs spotted bass. The fish
bite was really good for
about 5 hours when the sun set they split up
and quit biting. Tommy
and Daniel fish with me all the time, they are
students of mine and they
don't know each other and they both have
been bass fishing around
3 yrs. Both are quick learners and very dedicated
fishermen. They have both
been with me when we have got on big fish and
big numbers.
We were catching our fish
on Sinkos, DD/22's and a special bait in a shad
colored pattern that I
developed 2.5 years ago they will soon be on the
market I can not reveal
the product yet. All of my regular clients know
what I am talking about.
Can't wait to tell
everyone about this bait, hopefully it won't be long.
This week the weather
looks absolutely fantastic if the wind will blow
the fish will bite. The
afternoon after 12 pm seems to be the best bite
of the day. I still have
plenty of open days for November, now that
Deer season is here the
lake has opened up.

I fished with Bill Glass of Floydada on 11-2-12. We caught 20
bass, nothing large, from very
shallow to 35 feet deep. Most were caught on worms fished on deep structure.
Water temp
was from 64 to 67 degrees. There are lots of shad up the creeks. I had a lure
hung on a tree
up one of the creeks, and when I went to get it, a big bass of over 2 feet long
was looking at
the hung lure. That's fishing.

11/01/12 Early morning and
evening seems to be the best. The lake is 11ft from full level, may fish a
little better at this point, still plenty of water. Capt'n Mike
I fished Wednesday afternoon for about four hours and landed two small bass.
There were only six other boat trailers at the ramp. The lake was the lowest
I've seen it in several years. It was a beautiful day. Let's all pray for
good rains.

10/24/12 Bass and crappie should
be moving into shallow water with this cold front, the lake turned over last
week. Capt'n Mike
10/23/12 Looks like the fishing
drought is over, my friend Phillip Pool said today was one of the best days he
had ever had on the lake, yeh ha. Capt'n Mike
Captn Mike,
Hey folks it's been a
good while since I wrote a fishing report.
The lake turned over 10
days ago and the fishing has been tough
on everybody. The lake
has settled back and is crystal clear, I, myself
was having a hard time on
the lake catching fish. I fished with Brian
Tramontina and Bill
Henriquez and we lost count of how many fish we
actually caught, it was a
tremendous bite. Our biggest fish of the day
was a 10lb 4oz bass that
Brian caught. His biggest bass until today was
6lbs. his friend Bill
also caught the biggest bass in his life time of fishing which was
4lbs 54oz, that may not seem big to ya'll but he hasn't been fishing long.
The struggle is over and
I have a very good pattern established.
This is the 8th client
that has caught double digit fish with me this
year.. no sad stories
today.
We are catching our fish
on Shad colored baits my clients that fish
with me regularly know
exactly what bait I'm talking about.
This time of year it is
all about timing, cold fronts and wind direction.
Today it blew 20 to 25
mph out of the southwest this is the direction
that the wind needs to
blow to turn the fish on. We caught our fish in
3ft to 35ft of water,
early fish shallow, when the sun gets high fish DEEP.

Took my Dad fishing with me today
weather was fairly nice
had a barometer of 29.895 and steady while on the lake
once we got there the barometer dropped to 29.855 and dropping.
This was the worst day of fishing i have ever had in my life.
we threw everything at them but the kitchen sink , I caught 1
spotted bass about 2 lbs around 930am and i guessing the only reason
i caught him was that he was lost.
all the fish were in 15 to 60 foot of water and holding tight
some places were holding bass so tight i would drop a worm down on
top of them and no hit on a drop i would pull up real quick and you
could feel the bait hit the fish on the way back up..
Although it was not really the worst day of fishing since i got to
share the time with my Dad.
So maybe better luck next time

10/17/12 Time to go fishing,
water temp is right. Capt'n Mike
I fished with Bob Burris, Jonathan, and Taylor of Oklahoma on
10-16-12. We caught 17 bass
and one catfish. We caught them on shad colored crank baits, top water, spinner
baits, and
worms. The catfish hit a spinner bait. I lost a big bass on a crank bait right
at the boat. We
had to really work to catch this many.
The water temp is around 68 degrees. It seems that the big bass have not yet
moved up the
creeks.

Capt'n Mike
I fished with Reese McBroom on 10-9-12 on a very sun shiny day
with only a little wind. We
caught 12 bass with most of them coming up the creeks in shallow water. We
caught most
on a Red Eye Shad in shad color, or on a Fat Free shad in shad color. We saw
lots of shad
up the creeks. But, we caught some of the bass on weighted Zooms Arkansas Shiner
Shad
in 35 feet of water.

I fished with Sam Cruse
on Oct. 5, during a cold front
the bite was a tough bite
but we managed to scratch out 12 fish
with Sam catching the
biggest 5.5 lbs and we lost many fish.
I lost a monster, the
fish hit the bait and ran straight at the boat
we were catching our fish
on rattle back jigs, sinko's, and weight baits.
All in All it was a good
day and we got to witness something I have never
seen before.
We were in the back of a
creek and a group of ducks were in front of the
boat and we were pushing
them towards land as we were going into the
cove. We witnessed a Bob
Cat come out of nowhere and jump in the middle
of the ducks and caught
one, it was one of the coolest things that I witnessed
on the lake. 1 hour later
he came out and was walking up and down the bank
in front of us about 50ft
away, hunting for another duck.
I guess it was Winner
Winner Duck for Dinner!!!!
Fall fishing is great we
are catching them on top, in the middle and on the bottom. The big girls are
on the move.

Reese McBroom and I fished for a while one 10-3-12. We caught 10
bass all on flukes in 10
to 38 feet deep. We found the water temperature to be around 72 degree in most
places.
Some places were a couple of degree higher, but the shad are really starting to
move up the
creeks. The bass should really start moving very soon.

I fished with T.O.
Clark and his 2 sons
Tucker 10 yrs old and
Raleigh 8 yrs old. It was a
cold and rainy day.
We started at 9:30 am and fished
until 1:00 pm. Their
dad and I did not fish, we took care
of the boys. We were
fishing with minnows in 35 ft of water
on a creek channel.
The boys caught 22 fish these are 2 of the
best children that I
have fished with. They were well mannered
and never complained
and were totally into fishing,
They caught 22 fish
in the boat and lost probably just as many.
It was a great day
for them, their dad and myself The action was
fast and non stop.
These kids knew how to fish, it was not a babysitting
ordeal. I've had
adults that were more demanding, can't wait to take
them again.

picking up, at least a little top water bite. Capt'n Mike
Captn Mike,
Folks I have not wrote a
fishing report since Sept 4, our water temp
had dropped 10 degrees in
the past 20 days. I have been on the lake
4 days in the past 10
days the bite has been tough and it was my fault.
I kept doing the same
thing, I have switched my fishing patterns and
have had a drastic change
in my bite and catch ratio. I have taken the
time to get out of my
summertime mode and get into my fall mode.
I'm catching a good
number of fish on top waters in 4 to 10 ft of water,
and after mid morning
passes I am going back to my deep water fishing
20 to 35 ft deep. There
is a tremendous migration of fish heading into
all of our creeks and
rivers, from the Brazos River (Buzz Bait)
in
Rocky Creek (Jigs), Gobbler Creek
(shallow running Crank Baits),
Little Grape (Top Waters and Sinko), Big
Grape (Top Waters and 10" Power worms).

My oldest daughter, Cindy, and I fished on 9-7-12 for a little
while. This was the first time we
had fished together for over 30 years. When she was a little girl, she would
fish with me in
bass tournaments, and we would win some of the time. I found that she still knew
how to fish.
She caught a spot over two pounds. We did a little fishing, and lot of sight
seeing from one
end of the lake to the other. Our next fishing trip we plan to fish hard. This
was a great day to
spend with my daughter. Thanks Cindy!

Captn Mike,
Unbelievable fishing, On
Labor day weekend Saturday and Sunday,
between 2 boats and 4
people, we boated over 150 fish.
Sunday I fished with
Tommy Arenivas, and on Tuesday I fished
with Greg Woolsey and
Mark Price, from Minnesota
Mark fishes the FLW on
the co-angler side and has caught many
very large Small mouth up
to 6lbs, but his largest black bass
was 6.5lbs in his 30 yrs
of bass fishing. Northern bass do not
grow as big as our
Florida strain bass here. When Mark got into
the boat with me at
6:30am, he told me that if he caught a
7lb bass he wanted to
measure so he could have a replica made.
I told him that he had
low expectations, that Alan Henry was full
of double digit fish. He
said "Yeah Right"
Our first fish of the
morning Mark caught a 10.75lb bass, it
measured 24.5" long and
21" in the girth. He is having a
replica made. Great job
Mark, by the way it was his
51st birthday today also.
We boated 42 fish today
in 6 hrs, on shad colored baits in
25 to 40ft of water.
Which brought our grand total number of
fish in 3 days of
fishing, to over 200 fish boated.
I am on one hell of a
good bite, I know where, what, when, and
how. It's not even fall
yet, the fishing just doesn't get much better.

here comes fall fishing. Capt'n Mike
Reese McBroom and I fished the night of the full moon on
8-31-12. It was a beautiful night.
We caught 13 bass, but it seem the larger bass wanted to put us in the trees
instead of
coming to the boat. I have never gotten so many bites without sticking the fish.
The fish were
hitting so easy that sometimes you had to guess whether you had a bite of not.

08/30/12 Dove season opens this
weekend, looks like good hunting to me. Capt'n Mike
Captn Mike,
I fished 2 days this week
Tuesday and Wednesday there was no
wind, and what little
wind there was it was out of the north.
One day I fished with my
brother Danny because my client on
Tuesday hit a deer on the
way to lake and had to have his
truck towed. He was fine,
truck not so much, thank the lord
that no one was hurt but
the truck.
My brother Danny politely
sat in the back of my boat,
did not run the trolling
motor, did not give me a break, and
got a FREE day guided
trip out of me, and then he had the
nerve to catch 9 more
fish than I did that day.
On Wednesday
I guided Daniel who is a
regular client of mine, who I am teaching
how to fish Lake Alan
Henry.
Wednesday was even worse,
no wind at all. The wind makes the
fish bite, NO WIND GO
HOME!!!!
Our total catch for 2
days fishing was 34 fish. The fish were in a
mood to where they would
not commit to the bait. We lost more fish
than we caught. During
the 2 day period I lost 2 heavy fish, 1 just got
off and 1 sawed me off,
just wasn't my day, sometimes your a hero and
sometimes your a zero!?
There is a slight
migration of bait fish and a few fish moving into the creeks.
I am still catching 90%
of my fish in 25 to 40ft of water.
All in all the fishing on
Alan Henry is very good and the lake is in great shape.
We're going to have an
outstanding Fall fishery.

Hello Mike,
Just one Question...........
WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS TO SUCH A BEAUTIFUL
PLACE?
Everyone please do you part to keep this Lake clean.
Thanks,
D.P
Captn Mike,
I fished 2 days this week
and caught over 60 fish.
The biggest was 4lbs, and
got sawed off by a monster
I'm on great #'s provided
the wind blows. I fished
from 6:00am to 3:00pm on
Tuesday the 14th did not
catch a fish the lake was
like glass, was ready to load
the boat and leave, and
say I was skunked.
I have never not caught a
fish on Lake Alan Henry,
I was ready to leave. The
wind started blowing about
10mph around 10:00am by
11:00am it was blowing
20 to 30mph and the fish
turned on it was like flipping
a light switch. I caught
fish until I did not want to catch
another one. I have 2 new
ways of fishing that will blow
any body's mind. I don't
care how good you are or think
you are, this will
produce quantity and quality fish.
My brother Danny got a
hold of one that he could not
turn or do anything with,
it broke the hook.
Fishing on Lake Alan
Henry is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anybody can do what I'm
doing but I'm afraid to let
this cat out of the bag.
If you are interested please call
me to book a trip.
I'm looking forward to
the fall.
The method that I am
using to catch my fish now will
be a great asset this
winter. I'm catching suspended fish.

08/06/12 Man there are some big
bass in this lake. Capt'n Mike
I fished with Larry Frymire of Abilene Sunday night. It was a
very cool, calm, and quite night
on the lake with a beautiful nearly full moon. We did have a interlude for about
2 hours while
a small rain and lightning storm moved over the lake area. We caught 14 bass
with the most
being caught on 10" power worms.
One of the strange things that happen was when Larry got a bite, and the fish
hung him up in
a tree. The fish came out of the tree and the battle was on with a very, very
large bass. The
bass circle the back of the boat, and I grabbed the net. I turned my head light
on so I could
see the fish, and as I looked down, Larry lifted a small bass into the boat. I
thought, how did
that little fish put such a pull on Larry's rod. Larry said, did you see that? A
hugh bass had the
small bass in her mouth, but was not hooked. I was really wondering about Larry
because I
did not see the big bass. I thought that he really had something wrong letting a
little fish like
that try to whip him. Larry said this was one of the largest bass he had ever
seen. Maybe we
will get her to bite next time.

Captn Mike,
Today I fished with David
Partlow and his wife we boated
15 fish with the biggest
going 4.5lbs. We caught our fish
on crank baits, sinko's,
and rattle back spoons. In 30 to
40ft of water. Not a bad
day for 1/2 day fishing and there
was a full moon. The fish
feed that night and it kept our
numbers down lower but we
still had a good time and caught
quality fish with 1 big
one that got away.
Next week looks like a
real good week the temp is going to
be in the low 90's. I

08/02/12 Hot, hot, hot, but the
lake sure feels good. Capt'n Mike
I fished with my brother, Boyd, the night of July 31st, and we
caught 12 bass fishing until
about 1:30 a.m. The largest was a 3 lb. Spot. We caught most of the fish on 10"
power
worms. It was very quite night in that no coyotes, owls, or frogs were making
much noise.
The moon was beautiful. If we had hooked all the bites we had, it would have
been a better
night, but it was one of those nights when it was hard to get the hook set in
the fishes mouth.

finding fish, way to go. Capt'n Mike
Captn Mike,
On the 24th I
fished with Francois Burger, we boated
20 fish from 1lb
to 3.5lbs on the 25th I fished with
Daniel Baza and
the bite was much better that day.
We boated 40 fish
from 1lb to 5.25lbs, total catch
for 2 days 6
hours each was 60 fish. We were catching
our fish on
Sinkos and Red Eye Shad lip less crank baits.
in 30 to 45ft of
water. This is some great summer time
fishing, I'm
fishing from 6:00am to 12:00pm this
will keep you
from getting to hot and the fish are biting
great. I'm
fishing main lake ledges and points. The pic
of the large
spotted bass looks funny, he looks like a
pig that is
because he is..he had the tail of a shad sticking
out of his mouth
and it was still wiggling, the head is at
the base of his
stomach. From my estimates the shad had
to be at least
12" long. Now is the time to go Night fishing.
The
full moon starts on Aug 1 rises at 8:22pm, Aug 2 rises 9:00pm,
Aug 3 rises
9:35pm, Aug 6 rises 11:12pm, Aug 7 rises 11:45pm
I
still have some of these dates available for night fishing, so let's
go
night fishing and
beat the HEAT!!!!
You get to look
at the bright stars and the beautiful moon while the
coyotes sing,
your chance of catching a large fish double.
Last full moon I
had 2 over 8lbs and 2 over 9lbs.

Mike,
On the 17th I fished with
Mark Grapae and his friend Justin,
on the 18th I fished with
Dick and Rhonda Robertson.
Rhonda earlier this year
in May, caught an 8.28lb bass
she also caught the
biggest fish of the day this trip.
Not a giant but a nice
3.5lb bass. Two days of fishing at
6 hr trips, our total
catch was 41 fish, out of the 41 fish
that were caught, there
were 15 of them that were over 18",
and the
rest were under. 50% of them were black bass.
It was a
good 2 days fishing, if we would have caught all
of the
bites the count would have been in the 60's.
We did not
catch any big fish but were sawed off 2x's
by large fish. I am still
fishing in 30 to 40ft of water, off of the
main lake ledges and
points. I love summer time fishing in the
deep water. The fish are
feeding heavily on shad and are in
great shape so is the
lake. Looking forward to the next full

catching fish. What a lake. Capt'n Mike
Captn Mike,
I fished 3 days this week
during the passing cold front.
It was nice to have some
cool weather in the middle of July
I fished with Tom
Krumland from Roswell, N.M. and then with
Tommy Arenivas our total
fish boated was 53 fish, with the
biggest going 7lbs, many
other fish over 18".
I am catching my fish out
of 30 to 45 ft deep!!!!
I'm
catching my fish on 10" and 7" power worms, Sinkos,
and on
the new Rattle Back spoons made by Rattle Back jigs.
I am
watching my electronics and
finding the fish, if I don't
see them on my graph I don't fish that area.
I am
fishing main lake ledges from the dam area to rocky creek.
It seems
like the fish move daily, they are going to be where ever the
wind
blows the hardest. This is a typical summer time pattern, the wind
pushes
the plankton and the bait fish, the predators follow the bait fish
Sometime
it is a reaction bite and then sometimes you have to fish Very,
Very
slow. The fish that I am catching are beautiful fish they are fat
and their
bellies are packed with shad. 50% of my fish are black bass
thanks to
the help of everyone retaining the legal limits of spotted bass
I am
catching more large mouth than the previous 2 years.
EAT MORE
SPOTTED BASS!!!!!
It is
helping our lake tremendously.
I am
using 20lb Seaguar on my 10" worms and spoons, you never know
when the
big girl is going to bite, you have to be prepared,
I am
using 15lb Seaguar on my Sinko. Lake is in great shape and
ultra
clear the light line will get you more bites and also sinks better
in the
deep water. I have 1 open day left this month which is the 25th,
for night
fishing in August on the full moon cycle you need to start booking
now. I
have been booking out early. It is a great way to beat the heat and
also
gives you better odds at catching bigger fish.

I fished with Michael
Stevenson for the 3rd time this year.
Michael is a big fish
magnet. He caught a 10.28lb bass on his birthday
April 9th, which was at
that time the biggest fish he had ever caught.
Then almost 1 day to the
month later in May, he caught a 11.2 lb
bass. We measured both
the fish and he had replica's made. I can't
wait until he gets into
my boat again. Every
time he gets in my boat
1 of us catches a fish
over 8lbs we boated 42 fish, our biggest
two fish were, a
beautiful 9lb and a 8lb bass. We caught the 9lb
around 10:30 at night and
the 8lb the following morning. We had
a couple of sad stories,
Michael lost a big fish that we could not
see at night and then my
camera would not work because the batteries
were low, sorry for no
pics. We caught our fish off the main lake
in 20 to 40 ft deep. We
were using 10" Power Worms looking forward
to the full moon coming
up. It is hot during the summer time and so is the
fishing. The fish are
schooling in the early morning and the late evening.

hits the 90's. The fish
are schooling from Gobler Creek
all the way to the damn.
Some can be small but I personally
saw a school in 2ft waves
and they were from 3 to 8lbs.
Shad bigger than a soda
pop can were jumping in front of the
bass. It's time for
everybody to enjoy some fast, exciting action
I am booked out for the

Capt'n Mike,
I fished on June 14th and
15th, on the 14th I fished with Justin Goss,
on the 15th I fished with
Larry Foster and Pat Leary.
Our total catch for 2
days fishing was 29 fish, with the biggest
going 5.5lbs We caught
all of our fish on the new Rattleback Spoons,
in 25ft to 40ft of water.
We could not boat any fish on plastics
it had to be a reaction
bite or you would not catch the fish. The
fish would hit the
plastic baits and blow them out before you could
hook them. The fish are
staged and fixing to start schooling.
The stormy weather for
the last couple of days made the bite
tough and the lake has
rose 2.5ft which is great and it looks
like there is more water
on the way. The lake is in great shape
and we are all very
grateful for the rain. I still have a few days
open for this month and
am looking forward for the schooling activity
to begin, it is getting
better everyday. I'm also looking forward to
night fishing on the next
full moon, 4 days before the full moon and
4 days after the full
moon will be a great opportunity to catch the
larger fish. You can also

the 5th thur June 7th
our total catch for 3
days of fishing was somewhere around
55 fish, with the biggest
going 8lbs 8ozs.
On the 5th of June the
weather was stable and the fish
were biting very well. On
the 6th and 7th the big storm
rolled in, and we had to
work for all of our fish. We
caught our fish on 10"
power worms, rattleback spoons,
and top waters.
The fish are schooling
and the bite is very good. Now
that the weather will be
stable the fish can go back to
their normal summer
pattern. I don't know the exact amount
that the lake has risen,
but we needed it bad and the lake
is in great shape. Summer
time fishing is one of my favorite
times of the year. The
fish are easier to pattern and the bite
is going to just get
better.
I have special rates for
6hr trips to beat the heat, and for the
hard core fishermen I
have split days.
Father's Day is coming
up, it would be a nice gift for dad
to give a guided trip, or
to someone who loves to fish. You can also
book a place at Lake Alan
Henry lodges, and include it with the guide trip.
Dad or
that someone special would enjoy the great accommodations and

I fished with Dean Taylor of Oklahoma on the night of 6-5-12. We
started catching bass just
as it began dark. After it got dark, the clouds started rolling in, and we never
got to seen the
moon. The lightening started moving in from the south and east. At midnight, the
lightening
started moving in from the west and north. We decided it was time to get off the
lake when
we began thunder. The bass were biting fairly well until the lightening started
flashing, and
then they turned off. We caught 5 before then. We caught the fish on buzz baits
and Wild
Thangs from Strike King. Yes, they are called "Wild THANGS".
My wife will be having surgery on her foot tomorrow, so, I will be wife sitting
for about two
weeks. I will be booking night trips for around the full moon in July. The moon
is full on July
3rd, and fishing should be good for the fisherman about three days before and 5
days after
the full moon. Bass can be caught when the moon is dark, but it is very hard on
the
fisherman at Alan Henry because there are not a lot of big lights so that you
can see. The
trees really like lures on dark nights.

We had several sad
stories lost fish but sad stories are just sad

I caught 7 fish, the
total weight of these fish was 22 lbs.
Not bad for 3 hrs. The
next day I had Erica and Mark Henry
My day started out great,
while I was waiting to pick them up
at the boat ramp, I
caught a 9.26lb on a spook, it was like throwing
a sack of cement on the
bait. I thought it was going to be a great day
I was sadly mistaken,
everything went south from then on. I guess
used all of our luck up
on 1 fish. We only caught 8 more fish during
the day. Erica caught 5
of those fish out of the back of the boat.
It was a tough, tough
bite. So I gave Mark and Erica a free day.

This is the 2nd time
that Michael has fished with me this

a 11lb 2oz bass and I
caught a 10.49 lb bass our 5 biggest
fish of the day
weighted 34 lbs. this is just the start of the
fishing report. Michael
had a another fish hooked but it jumped
and threw the hook,
this fish looked like two 10lb bass put together.
It was a possible lake
record and possible state record.
To bad so sad!! Who can
complain when you boat 2 double digit
fish in the same day.
We had a day that we will both remember
forever. We
did not catch 1 single spotted bass. We were
on
a large school of giant
bass, I guess they ran the spots off.
We were catching our
fish on 10" Power Worms, Carolina rigged
with Mustad 45 degree
angled 5.0 hooks. This is the best hook
that I have used in my
life, it sticks the big ones.
We were also using Top
Brass weights and glass beads with the
Pro Ticker on them,
this makes the bait rattle. Thank God we
had 20lb Seaguar InvisX
on, or we would not have caught these
Giant fish. We were
catching our fish out of 25 to 30ft of water,
off of main lake
ledges. If you will notice in the photos these fish
have not spawned yet,
May 9th Michael and I went out fishing again
the fish were still in
the same spot. I caught a 6lb bass and got
sawed off by another
double digit fish, then the storm rolled in
and we had to get off

Jason Gazdik, Tommy

Our total catch for the

Knox a 7.19 lbs. We had many other
quality fish from 2lbs
to 4lbs, and 3 very sad stories,
big fish that bushed us
and sawed us off. We caught our
fish in 5ft to 25ft of
water, we caught our fish on Big Bite Sinkos
with 5/0 weighted
Mustad Ultra Point hooks and on the new
Rattle Back Shake Heads
with Tornados attached, and on
10" power worms, with
Top Brass weights and glass beads
and Pro Clickers. This
adds sound to your Carolina Rig.
The fishing at Lake
Alan Henry remains very good. The top water
bite is starting to
pick up, and we have a new wave of spawning
fish moving in. These
fish are spawning anywhere from 10ft deep
down to 20ft. This is
very good for our fish, the site fishermen can
not pick the fish off
of the bed. You have to back off and fish for
the fish. This is going
to be a great month, it always is. I still have
openings for May. In
the clear water if you want to increase you bite
ratio go to 15lb test I
use the Seaguar InvisX it is the strongest line

booked completely for the following week and will
give everybody an
update as soon as I get home.
Our full moon will be on the 6th of May and we have a time frame of
4
days before the full moon and 4 days after the full moon.
This is going to
trigger a full blown spawn. I am catching my fish on
Sinkos and my custom
Shakey Heads with Tornado, with Green Pumpkin
and Red Flake being my
favorite. The top water bite is good in the
morning and in the
evening. My favorite top water bait to throw at
Lake Alan Henry is a
Black and Blue original Lunker Lure with a Black
blade. I like it
because I don't have to switch out lines, I can throw
it with
fluorocarbon 20lb Seaguar InvisX. I recently received some Tatsu from
Seaguar 15lb test. I am
using this in my Shakey heads and Sinkos, the
casting ability and the
sensitivity of this line is unlike any line I have ever
fished with. It is
pricey but well worth the price.

Today I fished with
Chad Loudermilk.
It was a very tough
windy day with 2 tournaments being held
at the same time. We
got started and put the trolling motor down
and fished one shore
line for 8 hours. Chad caught the biggest fish
in his fishing career,
a beautiful 10.1lb bass. Our total catch of
the day was 20 fish.
Not a bad day considering the wind and all the
other fishermen. We
were catching our fish on Sinkos in 5 to 15 ft of
water. Chad's fish was
25.5" long and 18" in the girth, this was a
post spawn fish. This
is the 2nd double digit fish that my clients have
caught in 2 days. The
fishing at Alan Henry is getting better every day.
May will be the best
month, we will have pre spawn, spawn, and post spawn
fish. The top water
bite is fixing to explode. After the fish spawn they go
into a
feeding frenzy this is a magic time of year for fishermen to catch
both numbers and big
fish. Load your reels with 20lb Seagaur and hang on.

today on his 33rd birthday. His biggest fish before
this fish was around
5lbs. Our total catch for the day was 28 fish with
more fish weighing in
the 4 to 5 lb range, he caught the fish on a Big
Bite Cane Thumper and
thank goodness he had 20lb Seaguar on fresh

I fished with Paul and Jocob on 4-7-12 on a 4 hour trip. We
caught 8 bass with the largest
going 3 lbs., and several other fish were lost.
After they left I went fishing by myself for two hours and caught 8 more.
I watched an Osprey pick up a spotted bass that was dead on the water. The
spotted bass
was very close to my boat and was large enough that the Osprey had a hard time
getting out
of the water into a tree to eat the bass. This was a fun thing to watch. I
wished I had a picture

Captn Mike,
Today I fished with
Matt Ryley and his brother-in-law John.
We boated 30 fish with
the biggest going 6.5lbs, and my brother
Danny and a family
friend Steve Downing caught 27 fish with the
biggest 7.5lbs, our total
catch with 2 boats was 57 bass. This
was on Good Friday and
the lake was very crowded with high winds.
We
were catching our fish on Sinko's and Shaky Heads with
Tornados.
Not bad for an average
day. The fish are moving up daily and there
are a lot of fish in
the 7lb to 10lb range being caught daily. The fish are not
in full blown spawn
yet. This is a good and steady pre spawn bite.
Overall fishing at Lake
Alan Henry is very good. If you are struggling
to catch fish give me a
call and book a trip, the time you spend with
me will help
you tremendously.
The later part of April
and the month of May the fish will be in full blown
spawn and the top water
bite will be on. The lake is in great shape and the water
clarity is
very good.

Folks I have been at the lake
for 3 days, myself and my
clients boated over 120 fish
over 3 days. The fishing does
not get any better. The big fish
are moving up in waves and the
spawn has kicked in. The full
moon is coming up and there will be
a massive wave of large fish. I
am seeing more big fish this year
than I did last year. This is
probably because the lake is low and
the fish are more condensed. I
had 2 very sad stories in 3 days.
I had my butt kicked by a GIANT
ran in a bush, and pulled the hook
out. One of my clients had
another big big fish, could not hang on for the ride.
You can't weigh 'em if you can't
hold 'em, to bad so sad!!!
I'm catching my fish on my
custom made Shakey heads,Sinkos,& Tornados.
The spawn is on and will
continue through June. Get your 20lb Seaguar
spooled up, invisible
is invincible. The lake is real clear.
Do not use braided line the fish
can see it. I am using 15lb InvisX on
finesse baits and 20lb for my
bedding fish. This is very important if
the fish can see your line it
cuts the bite ratio by 50%.

cold, foggy, and it drizzled rain all day. We started
fishing at 8:00 am, the
fishing early in the morning was slow slow slow
by noon Dan and Josh
were cold and wet and had to leave to go back home,
they were unprepared

I decided to continue
fishing. It is very rare when I get to fish alone.
I went up the Brazos

in 10 to 15 ft of
water. I caught 18 fish, with the biggest being a nice 9lb 2oz
bass. Thank the good
folks at Seaguar, I had 20lb Invisx on my reel or I would
not have caught this
fish, due to the heavy brush. My 5 largest fish weighted
24lbs. I had 1-at 9.2,
2-over 5lbs, and 2-over 3lbs. I caught my fish on Hawg Caller spinner
bait #44 this bait has a 3.5 willow leaf blade on it and has a
chart. colored head
and I am putting a black and chart. natural skirt on it.
This bait
shows up extremely well in the stained water and puts off a lot
of flash.
It has a special wedged shaped head that goes through the brush
and does
not get hung up as bad as other spinner baits. I highly recommend
that
everyone tries this bait. My 5 biggest fish today were caught on this bait.
SIZE MATTERS!!!!! So
does the color. I was recently put on Ardent's Pro Staff
I am
fishing the new Edge Series reels. Everything they say about these reels

The fish are up the

where this rock is at, go straight across from it
and fish the east bank.
I'm catching my fish on Hawg Caller 1oz spinner baits
it is called a "Proven
Winner" it has a wedged shaped head. On Hawg Callers
web site the bait order
# is "Proven Winner #45" I'm fishing this bait
fast enough to feel the
blade turn, and the weight helps me fish in the
wind, and also kicks up
mud like a football head jig would.
It's a large spinner
bait with a very large blade and the fish can see it
and feel it going
through the water even in high winds. I'm also putting a
Hawg Caller black/chat
natural skirt on this bait #028.
I love black in the

got on the lake
around 10:30 or so, and fished a little before we went to lunch at Fish & D's.
As we were
getting back in the boat, the north wind hit, and nearly blew us out of the

to decide if we still wanted to fish or not, but we decided to go fishing
anyway. We wound up
catching 5 bass up to 3 lbs. 5 ozs on crank baits. Red, citrus, and silver
color. The wind
made it tough to keep your lure out of the trees. The bass were about 3 to 5
feet deep up the
creeks.

Capt'n Mike It makes it really difficult to plan trips to the
lake when we only get updates every two or three weeks. The weather, water temp
and fish patterns change on a weekly basis. I think more people should take a
few minutes after leaving the lake to let fellow anglers know how their trip
went. I have only seen three or four people put updates on the fishing report
and i really appreciate them taking the time to do so but they can't do it all
by themselves. I really wish there was a forum so guys could talk back and forth
about the lake. I know several people that live two hours or more from the lake
and it would help them plan more trips and it would benefit the lake by them
spending money so we can continue having a beautiful body of water to fish.

02/19/2012 We have
had about an 1" of much needed moisture, should put some oxygen in the
water. Capt'n Mike
Captn Mike,
Been 2 weeks of cold
fronts, cloudy, cold, and rainy.
The
fishing has been tough. The fish have not
bit well for 2 week,
from lack of sunshine.
This time of year they
need sunshine to speed
up their metabolism.
This is going to be a
good fishing week for
the big girls.
You need to fish the
rocks and fish during the
warmest part of the
day. Good old fashion
pitch'n and flip'n
jigs, also I recommend weightless
Sinkos. It will force
you to slow down, and the bait
falls very slow. I
always catch fish
up the Brazos River
this time
of year. You can catch the bass
there when you can not
catch them anywhere else.
The water is shallow
and warms up quicker.
I will even go until my
boat drags bottom and fish
out.
I also like to use a
Hawg Caller spinner bait
wht/chart with a large
Colorado blade.
This makes the bait
vibrate more. They also have
a bait called the
vibrating spinner bait. It has a
blade on it unlike any
other spinner bait. This is the time
of year you want to use
a trailer hook, because the
fish just like to slap
at the bait. Put your hook on
top of the other hook
first, then put your tubing on
and let the hook float
free. This keeps you from
getting hung up as much
and will help you catch more
of your bites. We are
also throwing shallow running
(Large) crank baits.
They run only 1 to 2 ft deep.
The reason for this is
that the fish like to sun and they
will suspend in the
trees and up near the surface where
they can get warm.
Looks like Wednesday and Thursday
this week are going to
be good days, I am open on
both of those days give
me a call.

Hello everybody and
happy new year!
Wanted to give an
update on the fishing at
Lake Alan Henry.
The fishing has been
fair, we're having to work hard
for the fish we are
catching. The fish are being caught
on everything from jigs
1/2oz to 3/4oz football head
rattle back jigs and on
crank baits, deep diving and
lip-less crank baits.
There have been a lot of real
nice fish caught in the
5 to 8lb class. Right now the
secret is to be in the
right place at the right time.
Also catching some
large fish on Carolina rig 10" worms.
It is going to be a
great year this year, I like the lake
with it being low,
better than I do when it is full.
The reason is because
all of the points, humps, and ledges
are more exposed and it
makes it easier to fish them.
From all of my years of
fishing Lake Alan Henry, the
fish will start being
caught in numbers on the west end of the
lake, the water is
shallow and not as clear and it holds
the heat better. Right
now the water temp is right
at 48 to 49 degrees.
When the water temp reaches
into the mid 50's the
fish will go into prespawn.
We have had a very mild
winter and the fish are some
what scattered any
where from 2ft to 35ft deep.
It's time to knock the
dust off your rods and reels and

On Oct. 24 my boat motor threw a rod. I decided not to get it
fixed, but to get a new engine. It
took quite some time to find a place to get a new engine. I finally decided to
get a new
Mercury 200 Pro XS from Parker Boats and Motors in Amarillo. These are really
nice people
to do business with if you need a boat or motor. They have Triton Bass Boats. I
got my boat
and new engine bac just this past Friday. I will be going to Alan Henry to
break in the new
engine at soon as the weather allows. I have to run at about 3/4 speed for about
an hour. I
am looking forward to the new year of guiding and fishing.
Also, its time for everyone to get their boat and motors ready for the new year
of fishing by
having a boat mechanic to go over your motor to make sure it is ready to go.
Check out
Performance Marine. Billy Sherrill will get you ready for the new fishing
season. They are
located at 1318 E 50th Street.
Let's go fishing.

The month of December has been touch and go
as far as fishing goes. My biggest fish for the
month was 8.25 with lots of nice stringers, but
the fishing has been tough, because of all of the
cold fronts and cloudy weather. The fish on Lake
Alan Henry in the winter time do not bite well on
cloudy days. If you can go fishing on a day when
the sun is bright and shining, with a south or west
wind, you might be real surprised at what you will
catch. The big fish have set up on their winter
pattern, I'm catching my fish on Rattle back Jigs
Crystal Shad is my go to color, with a pearl trailer.
I'm using 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz football head jigs.
I'm catching my fish from 20 to 35 ft deep. I'm
finding the fish on my electronics, and also fishing
the ledges and the pockets off the main lake, and
in the middle of the creek channels in all the major
creeks and rivers. If you have cabin fever and your
tired of thinking of fishing and not going you are
ripping yourself off. We have a lot of mild weather
within the next 7 to 10 days and lots of sunshine.
Thank You Lord!!!!
I have special winter time rates, $300 a day for
1 to 2 people.
Have a Happy New Year!
