Hello Everybody,

Ephesians 3; 20 Now unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, acording to the power that worketh in us.

SAM RAYBURN:

Well the water temps were 60 at daylight today and warmed to lower 60's by the end of the day.

The full moon phase really has the sow Bass moving into the spawning grounds as Bass up to 8 lbs. were caught this week. Texas rigged weightless Phantom tackle watermelon red stinkos and Nichols Sinkers in Green Pumpkin have been producing some really Big Bass as well as Texas rigged with a small weight Lizards from Watermelon to Black and Blue. Flukes also in same colors are working. Check Terry's- Owner of Jackson Hill Marina web-page out on Rayburn at terry@jacksonhill.us for Cabins and etc.
