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.

02/14/2012  Happy Valentines Day, hope you took honey pie to the lake and caught a big one.  Capt'n Mike

Capt'n Mike,

Reese McBroom and I were on the lake today trying to finish breaking in my new boat motor.
We ran around the lake trying to put some hours on the new engine. Late in the afternoon we
finally went fishing. We caught a few bass on a citrus Red Eye Shad with the largest going 7
lbs. 7 ozs. We caught the fish in water that was 52 degrees. Much of the water was in the 48-
49 degree range. All the bass were in two to three feet of water.

The bass are starting to move up and are ready to bite when the weather is right. Start
thinking of booking a spring trip. It's time.

01/28/12  Pretty good fish for January, way to go Dean.   Capt'n Mike

Captn Mike,

 
Today I fished with Dean Renfro from Midland, TX.
it was a beautiful January day, with the temperature reaching
68 degrees, water temp is currently 48 degrees and climbing.
We were fishing on the west end of the lake, the fishing was
a little on the tough side. Dean managed to catch our biggest
fish of the day it was a beautiful 8.20 lb bass. He caught this fish
on a 10" power worm in 20ft of water at about 1:00pm. I am seeing
a lot of fish on my graph and the fish are starting to move in. It's 
time to go fishing folks, there are lots of other fishermen catching
quality fish just like this. Fish hard, don't give up, it just takes 1
cast to catch a big fish. Great job Dean look forward to fishing
with you again. 
Until next time Stay Sharp Ultra Point Sharp

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 
get ready for some big fish. 
Until next time stay Sharp Ultra Point Sharp

01/09/12  Fishing has been pretty productive, it's winter and slow and easy makes them bite.  Capt'n Mike

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.

12/01/12  May you caught the fish of your dream in 2012,  Happy New Year. Capt'n Mike

 

12/29/11  Some fish being caught.  Capt'n MikeCapt'n Mike


Capt'n Mike


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!
Until next time Stay Sharp Ultra Point Sharp
