Fishing report, 13 Aug- Ive been out on Lake Palestine twice in the last 2 weeks, and I have found the fishing poor. Went out at dawn, did have some brief surface action with hybrids the first trip at the entrance to Ledbetter bay, but the rest of the time (all morning) the fishing around the big bridge was very slow. The hot weather, along with hot 10-15 mph wind, makes both the fishermen and the fish uncomfortable.
Gotten a couple of reports of brief success in scattered areas right at dawn and til about 8, and some at night fishing, but its all been very slow, and will be til the weather pattern changes.
I'm about to go on the second trip this summer, leaving on Mon 24 Aug, fishing on 3 one-day trips, Tue-Thu on charter (party) boats. Anyone wishing to go at that time please contact Deep Sea Sportfishing at 360-505-2139. Trips are $253/day, includes bait, tackle, basic fish cleaning, license is $13/day. I will have a rental car there and staying at Holiday Motel.These are great trips, come along!
