Sam Rayburn Fishing Report by Lynn Atkinson

Reel um N Guide Service 

Owner
Lynn Atkinson 

Water Temp.58                      
Water Clarity 2-3 feet

03-01-09

Sam Rayburn is at 158.38 ft the water temperature has been around 56 degrees warming up to 60 in some of the pockets. The water has been clear in some of the pockets but murky for the most part on the main lake.

 This week we have been catching a lot of male fish that started moving in. Most of these fish are still small but can be a lot of fun. Stanley Spinner bait has been the best for any real size with one going around 6 lbs. White with gold willow blades in clear water and chartreuse in stained water. These fish are just moving into shallow water and are feeding some.  The larger fish are still out around the points and staging areas. The lipless crankbaits run over the grass and around the edges have been picking up some fish. The best color to start with is something that has Red and Gold in them. Sometimes just changing the shade of Red and Gold or the brand of bait will make a difference.  You can bet that I have a collection of these baits. If I’ve fished a few different places with out a bite I’m going to change something. The Carolina Rig Lizard is the next thing to use when you are fishing these points and ledges looking for some of them big old fat girls. It looks like the fish are starting to move in so you better get your tail in gear.
Remember the Budweiser Sharelunker Program entries started on October 1 and run thru April 30th. If you haven’t heard, it encourages anglers who caught a 13 - pound- plus largemouth bass to lend or donate it to the TPWD for spawning purposes. There are some great benefits doing this, and one of them is getting a full color, life size, fiberglass replica of the bass. (October 1-April 30 only)  If your fish meets the requirements listed above, call their toll-free, 24-hour pager at 1-888-784-0600 or (903) 681-0550.Check out the Program rules and benefits at
http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/budsharelunker/rules/ 

Jackson Hill Marina is working as a weigh in site for the Sharelunker Program and has Certified Scales for weighing the Potential Lunkers along with a holding tank. So get your big fish down there and get them weighed in.
 
Remember this is the time of year that a lot of Trophy Bass are caught, If you catch one make sure you take good care of her. Get her weight, measurements’ and pictures and get her back in the water. Having a replica made is the best thing to do as it will out last the real thing and look just like her. Besides now you can go back and try to catch her again next time you’re out. If we don’t take care of the Big fish we have now who will?

f you haven’t heard about The Bass Class on the water check it out on the website and give me a call. Come learn some tricks that will help you catch fish on any lake.   

We have been catching a few Crappie in the grass around creek channels and some off the brush piles. The Bridges are giving up a few nice slabs.  Remember to be extra careful out there if the wind comes up. 

Big D Outdoors is the place to get your boat ready now. The spawn is getting closer by the day..  So, what are you waiting for?  Give them a call 409-769-3700.

Sam Rayburn Property of the Week by Allman Company, REATLORS

We have 3 waterview/ water access lots listed in Section 36 of Rayburn Country.  They should total approximately just under an acre.  They have already been cleared and are ready for someone to come and build on them.  These lots are priced as a package deal for $49,900!   At this price, these lots won’t last long.  The lake is currently 6 feet low (due to the Ike draw down)  so there would normally be more water back behind the lot.

Jasper Co. Appraisal Dist. makes awareness of rollback taxes

The Jasper County Appraisal District sent out letters to various businesses who may deal with any kind of real estate transactions so they would be aware of some of the changes coming about.  As many of the area property owners have already noticed the county came in and re-evauluated all the properties around the lake to vaules that were closer to what the market had been showing.  It now seems that the county is looking at land that was originally ag exempt but since may have been sold and developed or now has a non-agricultural use.  In many cases the county has not realized the change nor has the owner reported the change.

Beginning January 1, 2009, the appraisal district began a stepped-up effort to enforce these rollback requirements.  Procedurally, once a change-of-use is determined, the land owner will be sent a Notice of Change Of Use.  Land owners may protest these changes but if the ruling stands, the county can recover taxes from the previous 5 years.  These taxes would be the difference from the fee set from the Agricultural exemption to what they are assessed after the Chang of Use has been delcared.

From the way I read it, it appears to say (example) if you purchased 20 acres 2 years ago and developed those 20 acres and never declared a change of use, you will still end up paying the back owed taxes for the last 5 years even if you only owned the property for the last 2 years.  This is unless you had a contractual agreement with the former owner that they would pay those taxes if this came about.

It appears that it would be in your best interest to to declare the change of use immediately upon any development of the land or any reason that would alter the land from being used for any form of agricultural use including farming, ranching, and timber use. 

Anyhow, I just want to point out these changes so that you may not be as shocked when you receive a letter from the county asking for more tax money.  If you have any more questions concerning these Change-of-Use rollback taxes, please contact the Jasper County Appraisal District.
