I will be in Houston TX in April of 2005 and would like to do some fishing.
Anybody know a good bass guide near Houston TX?

You did'nt say what lake you wanted to fish. I would suggest Fayette
County. It's a power plant lake with good quality bass. Try to get a hold of
Judy Wong. call Judy Wong at 713-933-9724

Yeah, I know I didn't mention a lake. That's because I am unfamiliar with
that area of Texas. Here in AZ we are lucky to have one lake nearby no less
having some to choose from!!!!! I will call Judy but do you have any other
suggestions for lakes within say an hour of Houston? Thanks for the
information.

I've found Fayette to be a good lake...not that I, personally, ever caught
much there. But, that's just me. I'm going to try Gibbons Creek ( about the
same distance as Fayette County Lake for me) some time over the next week or
so.

Both lakes are 70+ miles from my house in far North Houston...and through
some city, or at least town, traffic. I'm thinking more like 2 hours,
considering both are down some side roads a bit. My location lends itself to
the Northern-most lake (Gibbons Creek) as opposed to Fayette. That
preference is ONLY because of city traffic from my place.

Conroe is one hour north of me. It is often spoken of as the most difficult
lake in TX to catch bass on. I've had good days and bad days there. The bad
days FAR outnumber the good ones...but...again..that's just me.
I've been tempted to use a guide to see if they can do any better...but the
only one I spoke to wasn't very positive about our being able to get the
bass to bite. Crappie and catfish, all day long, I guess...but not LM bass.

I'll keep your email address around and, when I get back from Gibbons, I'll
post you about my results. If you DO engage Judy Wong ( who I've heard good
things about)...and want to split the guide's fee for a day, I might join
you.

Lake Houston is almost "in town" but I've only heard catfish reports from
there.
Clear Lake is all salt-water, and almost "in-town". It could be very good by
April, if you would want to try specks ( speckled sea trout ) and reds (
redfish or red drum). I'm having zero luck with saltwater this Winter. Just
got back from a 140 mile drive to West Galveston Bay, with nothing but some
wind-burn to show for the day.

I guess I better get back up to Wisconsin..where the fish don't yet know my
reputation for not catching enough on my outings.

Judy Wong/ Fayette Co. Lake

Meet Ms. Wong at the Boat Show. She is a multi-year world BASS champ who
guides Fayette County. Found her to be a very gracious and friendly person.
Booked a trip with her in March. She seems to be a real pro and has been
very helpful. Was wondering if anyone here has fished with her or any
experience on Fayette Co. ??

Fayette County was the lake of the area years back ... it's dropped off some
but still a great place to pull 5# bass out of !!!She knows the lake well
and you will catch fish .. but be ready to fish worms and slow rolled
spinner baits... it's a blast!!!!

good luck
John

Bob Greene is a first class guy, and knows what he's doing. Fayette would
be my first choice for enjoying a fun day on the lake, it's hot right now.

Tell him Pat sent you, he bought his new boat from me a couple of months
ago.
