I went out with my Dad to Ray Roberts this morning from about 7 AM to about noon. The day started out at about 80 degrees outside with a steady 10-12 mph wind out of the southwest and mostly sunny skies. Early on, we threw squarebill crankbaits on the dam and were able to catch some spotted bass and a small largemouth doing so, but nothing of size. After about an hour and a half of this, we left the shallow bite to spend the rest of the day offshore, as the wind was dying down and it was getting hot, as hot as 95 degrees outside with a heat index over 100, and little to no wind. The skies were still mostly sunny, and the water temperatures ranged from 80-85 degrees across the lake. Water clarity across the lake was all pretty much the same, with about a foot of visibility. We spent probably 70 percent of our remaining time on the lake graphing, finding offshore rock piles, road beds, and old house foundations in anywhere from 8-25 feet of water, and we would only stop and fish the ones we saw active schools of bass on when looking at our sidescan and down imaging. Once we located one of these schools, we would utilize our livescope plus live sonar to position the boat correctly on the school, and then drag through the school and cover/structure with big worms. This pattern produced our 2 best bites of the day, a nice 5.59 pound bass that I caught (pictured with the report), as well as a nice 3 pounder that my dad caught. Overall, it was a fun and rewarding day chasing big offshore bass with big baits on one of the toughest lakes in Texas to fish in the heat of the summer, and I learned a lot from this trip! Ray Roberts can be pretty unforgiving this time of year, but if you put in the time with your screens, you can still put good fish in the boat! Thank you all for reading my reports and good luck!

We were fishing in about 42ft of water and was using jigging blade chartreuse and orange. We caught 25 white bass in one hour.
