Thread: Hugo Lake

Good luck. Be sure and write a fishing report.

good luck george and bring me back some venison........

Well Stink I have the venison from black powder season a 10 pointer. I harvested 10 blue cats while jug fishing on Hugo but did not get time to crappie fish. I had alot to do at the cabin. Actually I only hunted the first morning and turned down a young six pointer. I did not hunt after that. The crappie are at 10 fow in the edge of the timber. I talked to a pair of crappie fishermen from texas that were congenial and gave me the skinny on the lake. The lake is 6' low and the upper end of the lake looks like a pasture. The river channel is very defined because almost everything else is out of water. The upper 2 boat ramps are out of the water and unusable. The ramp at 93 bridge is out of water and as a matter of fact the water is 3 feet below the end of the concrete ramp. You have to back down the side of the bank and dump your boat into the river channel. This was a weeeeee bit scary. I digress, the anglers said that they had caught their limit on Sunday and had 40 bigger than 10" in their livewell. I watched them catch 5 in 15 minutes at the edge of the timber sssssllllloooooooowwwwwwwwww trolling jigs at 10 fow. green and orange, black/char and pumpkin seed were some of the better colors.

In 3 weeks I have some border jumpers coming to crappie fish with me. These "illegal aliens" sans black and orange cards are spending 3 days with me. They carry purple cards, if you get my drift. I am looking forward to getting my life back together after many years of caregiving and restarting to crappie fish. One of these border jumpers is known and loved far and wide in these parts. The "Chattster" cometh for a visit down south. This will be fun.

Ohhh Boy! Hugo will never be the same, And he might flush the Texicans back south.
