We took the boat out for a freshwater cruise on Saturday. Put in at GoodTimes Marina and headed over to the Lake Houston Dam. Ended up catching some decent white bass on jigs. (black tube head jigs with green and pink tails)

We threw back 4 or 5 before we realized they were keeper white bass. We're primarily saltwater fisherman...so we were confused at 1st. Ended up with 6 in the box.

I think we'll be out there again. It was a good time.

I think we'll definitely go back out there. It was an easy trip, and I'm sure the lower San Jac has some nice scenery in the warmer summer months!!

How is that ramp @ Good Time Marina for launching a 19ft Center Console? I'm a salty dog but this time of the year I usually bank fish for whites up Spring Creek via Jones Park in the Kendwick subdivision, and at times make the long haul to Lock & Dam.

Don’t know what effect it will have on the fishing below Houston Dam but Conroe is releasing 6,000 cu ft. per min. They say that is the most they have released in years.

Good place to have a beer after fishing...didn't they used to have bands on Sundays, or am I thinking of another place?

Later

In a couple of months you won't be able to see the river for all of the boats. When the crappie start spawning it gets real busy. Neighbor of mine gets a box full of catfish on a regular basis, too.

I launched my 22' Blue Wave at that ramp, so I'm sure a 19' wouldn't be a problem.

I've heard that in a few months we won't need an anchor...just tie up to another boat out there by the dam because it gets SO packed.
