This was my third trip of the year, having tried March and October before December. Each time was without a guide and launching by own 20' bass boat. Except for lowering water level and one honey hole, fishing was the same everyday for the 12 days I spent on Lake Huites in 1998.
If you want numbers, go to the end of the major coves, find a flat sand/mud bottom and fish in 25-30 feet with spoons, worms, Rattle Traps, even bare hooks. It gets boring after catching a fish a minute that seldom weighs over one pound.
If you want keepers, fish the channels against steep walls in the shade with some other structure like trees, rocks, points. Throw 2-3 baits into the same spot before moving 10-15 feet. First...floating jerk bait like a Sluggo. Second...shallow jerk bait like a Mystic Minnow. Third...heavy spinner bait or a deep diving plug. Color is not that critical, but my preference is charteuse/white or blue/silver. You need a stout rod and atleat 17 lb line. Expect to catch 40-60 per boat per day and half of the anglers won't catch a fish over 5 pounds each day. The best fish I or my friends have caught in 50+ man days of fishing are a few 8.5 pounders and a dozen or so over 7 pounds. I expect to catch a 10+ pounder there in 1999.
