Looking for a Bass Guide Near Houston TX

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. regards, RichG TX

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. ??

KINGFISHER71 ****** ** #2 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 ******

We spoke on the phone and he seemspretty knowledgeable. I will try calling Judy Wong again.

BTW I will be in town for the NRA Convention.
