A.M. trolling for a couple hours...out of my canoe..I like to do that 2 or 3 times a year, but may have to do it more this season, if the launch ramps get much worse...However, I may not be targeting Rockport again for awhile...What's going on there?? Is it just the warm and low water levels?? Is Rockport now basically a bass fishery? I've always caught some pretty nice rainbows or browns trolling here, but only caught bass here Thursday, on my typical rainbow/kokanee trolling gear..I talked to another guy when getting off the water, and he said he had anchored up somewhere and caught over 20 bass with his grandkids...Anyone else noticing this trend, or was I just having another odd day?Hey Joe, not sure if you saw my report on Echo a little over a week ago but your experience at RP was the same as we saw there. Lots of bass up in the water column. It could be the heat that is causing this to happen, with there being more bass up high, the trout might be saying lower in the water column, where it is cooler. We did catch one bow early in the morning but other than that, the only other trout we caught, a brown, was just off the bottom.
