The bite seems to be picking up at Antero Reservoir, if you want to give that a shot. Down in Texas, you might try Grapevine Lake near Dallas. The water is clear, and black bass are good on watermelon Texas rigged worms, watermelon finesse jigs, lipless crankbaits, and Jackall Squad Minnow jerkbaits along the main lake points. Crappie are biting good on minnows, white bass are good on slabs, and catfish are fair to good on nightcrawlers and cut shad. Captain Brian Brown reports that bass and crappies are going good on Kentucky Lake – and listen to this – nothing is out-fishing the Alabama Rig. Lots of current in the lake as they try to keep it at winter pool. For a free report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com).

One day, fishing might even be an Olympic Sport. That would be the ultimate goal for Tony, who has had the honor of representing America through fishing. It’s a totally different take on fishing and international competition than you’ve ever heard, on today’s Schtick. Brian / Moldy Chum News Let’s hear about Outdoor Retailer!
