Yep, You can siphon that water out pretty quickly. However, rain in West Texas around Strawn is pretty rare. I believe, unless you have one heckuva watershed, that I would try the green sunfish tournament. However, Greg and Shan are professionals and I wouldn't doubt anything they say about what you are facing. On the other hand, they are from Georgia where it rains. You have a Catch 22 situation.
