Tommy Hagler

Welcome to Lake O.H. Ivie Guide Service. My name is Tommy Hagler and I've been fishing O.H. Ivie since it opened. Having fished in professional tournaments for over 30 years, I've learned a lot of techniques and the favorite hiding places for that fish of a lifetime. We offer full day and half day guide trips. All tackle is provided or you can bring your own.You will be fishing out of a fully equipped 21' Ranger 521 Comanche, dual console, 250 hp Yamaha, complete with side imaging.We are also the designer and owners of Hag's Tornado Bait. Check us out on www.hagstornadobait.comI recently received a job offer as a general superintendant on a new school project that was way too good to turn down. So, until July 2012, I will only be guiding on select weekends. I highly recommend that you call a very good friend of mine that's been guiding on Ivie for 20 years. Jeff Walker is the ONLY guide I recommend you call for your guide trips. His phone number is 325-357-4766. Feel free to call me with any questions or for help in setting up your trips to Ivie.

These 11.62 and 10.01 beauties were spawned out and released for someone else to enjoy the thrill of catching.

The fishing has been a little tough for numbers of fish after the last cold front. This constantly changing weather has had the fish up and down. But, the big fish are still being caught right now. My latest clients have seen a 12, 11 lb 9 oz, and some 7's for the largest fish of the days. The fish are transitioning up. Several buck bass can be caught in the shallows now. But, they are all small bucks. However, we did catch a 5 pound buck bass last week in a known spawning bed area. This upcoming "super full moon" on the 19th will see several of the early spawners up in the shallows doing their thing! The next couple of weeks should be awesome for the first wave of big fish moving up.

We have seen several good fish up on beds this past week. The little cold fronts we had pushed some of them back out to regroup though. The water temperature on the main lake dropped 4 degrees with those fronts. But, with these warm afternoons, the temperatures should reach 70 degrees in only a few days. I honestly think that the first main lake spawn will take place this week and a full blown spawn will take place in about 10 to 14 days. We're catching several 7 to 10 pound sows that are staged out on points in 4 to 8 feet that have their prime spawning areas next to them.
