cypress 09.28.2013

me and jerry went to cypress this morning. met bigjohn and his wife out there. it was a fun day to get back on the water. hadn't wet a hook in almost 2 months. caught 3 or 4 spider rigging our shiners in front of the launch. went thru a long long dry spell and picked up and went in front of the beach in the channel and caught about a dozen more on jigs. had three really good fish. left about 11 oclock. gave fish to bigjohn. hopefully he has some pics. overall it was a good day. need some cooler weather and much cooler nights. that will get them rolling.

doc :)

Congrats on the catch. Can't wait until I am back on the water. Work schedule has been crazy.

I forgot to say this, but I used my two solo rods/reels. I loved them. very light and well balanced set ups. can't wait to use them at darbonne.

thanks for the post Doc. We have a long weekend next week and I am thinking about taking the camper to Cypress and give them a try. It is supposed to be cooler but still may be to early.
Has the boat and jet ski traffic slowed down yet?

hey buster, it should do nothing but get better and better for the next 4-6 weeks. I would recommend you start across from the beach on the edge of the channel. the water is about 10-11 feet deep and the channel is roughly 16-17 feet deep. I tried to stay in 13-15 feet of water. I was fishing a double jig rig, the best color for us was a blue grass bobby garland. but we did catch several on elec chicken. all on pink heads (imagine that).

we only saw one tuber out there and he was launching when we were loading our boat to come home. didn't see a single jet skier. so I think we are good to go with the weekend warriors. good luck and I might see ya out there next Saturday. I will shoot ya a message if I go.

good luck,

doc :)

Doc, thinking about fishing Cypress this weekend and it's been a while since I've fished there. Would you recommend starting near the Parks Rd. launch or by the beach? Was wondering if the rain and cooler (still warm but not summer weather), has them biting again.

Will post pics if we get to go.....

ok guys didn't get no pics it was a long day after got off water but we ended up adding 10 and one cat to their 13 had a blast first time on cypress thanks doc!!!!!

hey bman, I figure it is better to go ouit from the beach this time of year. the fish normally move to the edge of the channels for a little while then they move to the deep water. the water across from the launch is all deep. the channel that runs thru there is the same depth as the bottom. there is not a substantial channel. so I will be there Saturday morning and I will be out from the beach. this cooler weather should get them motivated. I will be in a black and red ranger with a merc on the back. what rig will you be in so I can holler at ya if I see ya?? oh, one more thing. if you have a graph with a lake map on it you will be much better off. the channel is very curvy up by the beach and it is imperative that you stay close to the channel. preferably on the edge of it. see ya Saturday.

doc :)

Glad you got to get back on the water Mark. Thanks for the report.

Doc, not sure if we're going to be able to make it out on Saturday or not. The 50% chance of rain is making us reconsider. If we don't' make it Saturday, we'll definitely go one day next week. I'm hoping the forecast of cool nights and mild days get them biting more.
