fishingLevel’s at Lake Brownwood continue their slow decline as the lake is now at 6.8′ below spillway level.

The fish still seem to be biting though was the successful Big Bass Tournament that was held last weekend shows as being very successful (see article HERE).  The winner of the tournament, Joey Wynn was kind enough to reveal the bait that he used to win the tournament.

Wynn said that he used, “Grande Bass 4″ Indigo in Red bug and chartreuse w/red & purple flakes on BassHogg 3/16 pig sticker shaky head, a Grande Bass Rattlesnake in watermelon red texas rigged, a RJA custom Crank bait in the Brownwood Special and a FLW fluke in chartreuse.”
