Lady Bird Lake - 02 Oct 2015
It’s been a while since I’ve done an old-fashioned written report on the forum here, so I figured I’d go ahead and throw one up here for what it’s worth. I hit Lady Bird Lake last week with a friend just to go test the bite out there, poke around, and see what was goin’ on. We fished from about 7:30 AM - 1:00 PM. Conditions were nice. The morning temps were just a little cooler than they have been, mostly sunny all day, very slight breeze, and the air temps didn’t even make us break a sweat all day! Water clarity throughout most of the lake was pretty dirty, maybe 2-3 ft visibility, I don’t really remember, but there were some areas where it was a little clearer with 4-5 ft visibility.
We put our first couple of fish in the boat early (2 lbers) at our first stop fishing a T-rigged worm near a bridge. We didn’t fish there long though because I wanted to try some topwaters and reaction baits around shoreline cover and around submerged vegetation. Spent the next couple of hours just fishing down different shorelines with various topwaters and reactions baits with absolutely nothing to show for it. By about 11-11:30 or so, we finally came to some good looking matted vegetation, and busted out the flipping stick to start punching. We started getting several bites, but were pretty off of our game and lost most of them. I lost two dragging them over the grass, broke one off, and missed a couple of bites, but my buddy managed to actually put a couple of healthy, chunky 2-3 pounders in the boat. I was flipping a large 1.5oz jig, and I had him using a PowerTeam Lures Bully Grass Devil rigged with a 1oz River2Sea Trash Bomb tungsten sinker and 5/0 River2Sea Jack Flippin’ Hook. That Jack Flippin’ Hook seemed to keep those fish pegged a little better than my super old hand-tied 1.5 oz jig did.
Once it seemed like we had gotten all of the bites we were going to get out of the area we were at, we decided to move on and try fishing some bridges again to finish up the last hour. Caught another 5 or 6 fish over the next hour on a few different Texas-rigged worms. At about 12:45, I managed to put an “over” in the boat, so we threw it in the livewell and headed back to the ramp to get pictures before the release since I had left my GoPro in the truck. It was time to head in anyway. My buddy and I disagreed on the weight quite a bit (his guess was more than mine) plus we didn’t have a scale in the boat, so ya’ll can just come up with your own estimates. I seem to be on a trend of under-estimating my fish recently anyway.
The next day, I took an ABFer out on a guide trip to Lady Bird, but nothing terribly exciting to report other than the fact that we confirmed it was an afternoon bite. The morning was much colder than the previous day, and seemed to shut the fish down even more for the first several hours. From what I had found the day before, I was thinking we just needed to be in the right areas, but it very much proved to be a timing thing and that I had caught most of my fish the day before between 11:30 and 1:00 for a reason. It was a beautiful morning, but the fish were uncooperative until, once again, about 11:30, only having put 1 or 2 fish in the boat before then. In the last 30-45 minutes or so, it seems like we caught 4-6 decent fish really quick, but client had an obligation to make it to and we had to get off the water at noon. I suspect with the fluctuating morning temps right now, we will be switching back and forth for a little while between it being a morning bite or an afternoon bite.

Lake Austin Sunday Morning Tournament 11-1-15
Yep, we are back in action!
Just in time for sharelunkers to get nice and fat!
My scales are certified so if anyone has one we can confirm it on the spot.
The new scales are awesome. You guys are going to dig them.
I am attempting to get skeeter sanctioned so that you skeeter guys can score some skeeter real money before the year is up.

POC Oct. 2-4
Fished POC with Todd and Dean. We started fishing on friday around noon in SAB with the wind gusting out of the east and caught several keeper black drum to 23 inches, redfish to 27 3/4in. trout to 17in. and a sheep’s head.
On Saturday the fishing was, a little slower as we only managed 5 reds to 26 ½ inches a black drum and a few trout to 19 inches.
Sunday we ended up with 2 redfish (one being a tagged fish) up to 28 ¼, 4 trout a black drum and a flounder.
Had a great time considering my psoriasis kicked my butt. We fished several areas and picked fish up about every spot. All the fishing was wading. I did happen to see my first spinner shark bust out of the water wich was pretty cool. Good times!! Pics coming soon.

Lbj 10/04
Fished Sunday - started mid lake and worked toward the Colorado. Had a few mid lake on Chistmas tree senkos and chartreuse Red Eye shad . Couple fish on watermelon seed BBH on deeper boat houses. One better fish on a brush pile up the Colorado, little over 4 lb., on C-rig french fry.
Probably had 10 fish, 6 weighers in about 7 hours of fishing until I got fed up with the jet skiers. Anybody having any luck?

Fayette 10/5
A trip to Fayette yesterday leaves me scratching my head try to decipher if I had a good time or not. Got on the water around noon and searched for fish all day long. I found one bite witch resulted with a hook up around 3pm on the baffle dike. I continue to search for another bit, but its hours later before I find one. Around 6pm, I started catching one here and one there, but it was real slow. But thirty minutes before sunset, the bite went ballistic in every direction you threw your bait. As fast as I could get my line out, bam, fish on. I only had a few slot fish, but every fish was fat and healthy looking. For the time I put in, seventeen fish is not good, but the day ended much better than I had anticipated due to how the other seven hours went. The good days are coming, maybe next month will be crazy fun with forty to fifty fish per person.
The water temp continues to drop, 85 degrees in most areas. Bait fish are thick and they are scattered all over the place.

Bastrop 10/5 report and scorpion warning
First of all, when I hit the men’s restroom at the North shore ramp Monday morning, I saw a scorpion with pinchers and tail up walking around. It crawled under the baseboard before I could step on it, so it still lives in there. That’s the first time I’ve noticed a scorpion in the men’s room, but I’ve never paid attention before and the lighting is bad in there. So, watch out.
I took my wife and son out for a morning of fishing. We fished from 7:30 AM to 1:30 PM. It was nice and cloudy most of the morning with temps in the 70s and light winds.
My son went out in his kayak to the discharge and fished there most of the day with 14 fish total on flukes.
I started at the Dam Road cove and caught a couple of unders and a couple of slot fish and then finished out at the discharge with a few more slot fish all on Big Bite trick sticks.
My wife didn’t boat any fish but had several bites. She found out the hard way that going fishing doesn’t mean going catching. :)

Lt 10-5
Put in at Pace Bend at 230 and fished until about 5. Motored right across the lake and fished a bank with a bunch of docks and submerged brush. Threw a chart spinner for a while, but did not get a bit. Did not get a bite along the bank, but as soon as I pulled into the creek/cove directly across from Tatum Cove Boat ramp, started getting bit pretty good. The ticket seemed to be square bill cranks in shad patterns thrown very close to rock chunk banks on the shady side of the creek. Presence of brush did not seem to matter. Probably put 15 in the boat…all LT specials. Caught one Guad that would have kept. Did catch a few on a smoke/glitter grub. Fishing seems to be getting better every day. Got rained on for about five minutes, but it was a dang nice day to be on the water. Good luck!

Lake Travis 10/4
We fished from about 10am-3pm. I caught 4 bass and my fiance caught 2 bass but missed a few. Most of the bass were small and caught around submerged brush. Only one caught next to a marina. I mostly threw a KVD square bill shad while she mostly threw a white chatterbait. I got some nibbles on a kind of smokey clear colored grub with blue flakes.
We’re newbies to bass fishing though so we had fun. Looking forward to doing more fishing.
She caught this one. Is this a Guadalupe bass?

Greetings! New Member here
Been following the Forum for some time and figured it time to join in on the circus!
Big fan of anything outdoors. Love to hunt and fish. Live in NW Austin and been out on Travis and Austin a bit this year. Fishing has been tough on Travis, but getting better. Austin has been hit and miss. Some good toads still in there.
Anyhow, I’ll see if I can’t get out and catch or kill anything and share that experience with you all.
Looking forward to learning/honing skills from some of you. Even some of you goofy mofos on here. Y'all are too nice to some of these cats!
Can’t promise I’ll be that guy! :p

Poc 10/2-4
Pulled a last minute to POC last weekend. If you are thinking about it, STOP THINKING and go. If idiot novices like Bob and me can get a close limit of trout, anyone can.
We tried for the Jetty on Sat. morning but the there was a wind out of the NE that kept steady 4fters rolling into the ICW. We tried, we got drenched, we decided to to hit the shallows…. We caught fish. Only bait available was croaker. Shrimp boats couldn’t get out due to conditions. We caught fish on live bait and arti’s. Thank you Doug, Redfish Magic was a kicker.
Saturdays pull was a short limit of 17"-18" trout, 3 flounder, and, and 1-35" red. LOTS of shorts in the trinity. Sunday also got us lots of shorts and 1 nice keeper trout for the box (3 hrs).
SPI, and the Brownsville Shipping Channel next week, for 5 dayz……. Here’s to the Snookie.

Who to call?
I have noticed when I launch my boat at the boat ramp under the 360 bridge, it is really dark when backing and trying to see the three ramps. There is a big street light pointed towards the boat ramp, but it is blocked by a big tree and provides no light on the ramp itself.
Who should be called to see if they would trim the tree or install another light that would shine on the ramp.
I don’t see them listening to a bunch of fishermen, but I still think something should be said.

Gettin' in a LLM state of mind...
There’s nothing like a week in Port Isabel to decompress. :cool:
We booked our room at the White Sands today. It’s no longer run by the Marchan family, but it’s still a great property. 7th night is still free. Off-season prices are in effect - $59/night plus taxes for a suite. Hard to beat.
We booked our guide trip yesterday - Mike Knox was recommended. I’m looking forward to fishing with him. He’ll be the fourth guide we’ve fished with down there…nice to have a variety. (Lou Austin and Gilbert Vela were the most recent - both good.)
After that trip, we’ll have the rest of the week to explore in The Cayenne.
I’m SO ready.

Bastrop 10/3 - Good but expensive day
Headed out to Bastrop yesterday afternoon and fished from 3:30-8pm. North wind but not too bad. Wind calmed as the sun went down. Fished mainly on the discharge side near the reeds - water temp was between 89-92. Fishing really turned on around 6:30 and they were still hitting when we left at 8. I threw a shallow shad crank (0-3 feet), rattlesnakes weightless and senkos. They didn’t really care. Did not see or look for much schooling action in open water. Ended up with 30+ I would say.
I made it home but as I was backing in to the driveway I noticed one of the trailer wheels making some noise. It was hot as sh!t and I immediately knew something was wrong - it was also missing the outside cap which I knew was not good and I hadn’t noticed it missing before. I’m really surprised the wheel didn’t come off and go flying down the road. This is my fault - this is a used boat and trailer that I’ve had since January and I’ve been meaning to re-pack the bearings but this will be a costly lesson in waiting too long. The outside bearing basically disintegrated and it cut a groove into the spindle as well as wearing the last washer onto the spindle so as to I can not remove it now.
To move forward, everything I’ve been reading is pointing to having to replace the axle as you can not simply replace the spindle. Replacing the axle will involve welding. Looks like a bunch of ABFer’s in the past have used Spillar Hitches on S. Congress and would recommend taking the trailer to them. Am I correct that this is a weld job and that I can’t salvage/replace the spindle without replacing the axle as well? I have a tandem trailer and I’ve read it is ok to ride on 3 tires but make sure to chain or strap the exposed axle up so as not to have it make any contact with the road - any opinions on that? I’m going to give Spillar Hitches a call tomorrow and hopefully Gary can input his 2 cents but does anybody have a rough estimate on cost or any other suggested actions to take?

I had in mind to go out and see if the fall shallow pattern was starting and it didn’t disappoint.I started out with a Pop R in 3-7 fow.I had 7 in the boat before 8am. swithed to texas rigged plastics and had a few bites but that was about it.Tried to get a square bill bite but no takers. Off the water at noon.
Me and the wife got on the water this morning 10/4 at 7:30 and I went right back to where I had the best luck yesterday. Tried the Pop R again and caught one keeper on it. Swithed to a chatter bait slow rolled through the grass and picked up 2 healthy 17 inchers and one 16 that weighed probably about a pound. it was the skinniest fish I have seen on Bastrop.My wife threw her trusty Carolina rig all morning and didn’t get bit. off the water around 10:30.

I had in mind to go out and see if the fall shallow pattern was starting and it didn’t disappoint.I started out with a Pop R in 3-7 fow.I had 7 in the boat before 8am. swithed to texas rigged plastics and had a few bites but that was about it.Tried to get a square bill bite but no takers. Off the water at noon.
Me and the wife got on the water this morning 10/4 at 7:30 and I went right back to where I had the best luck yesterday. Tried the Pop R again and caught one keeper on it. Swithed to a chatter bait slow rolled through the grass and picked up 2 healthy 17 inchers and one 16 that weighed probably about a pound. it was the skinniest fish I have seen on Bastrop.My wife threw her trusty Carolina rig all morning and didn’t get bit. off the water around 10:30.

Local pond report 10-4
went back to the local pond with the kiddo. He wanted to throw his new hula popper and catch one bass. Temp was in upper seventies around 10:30. Water was down a foot, stained but clearer then usual, and looked better then a couple weeks ago. He threw his popper and I threw a t-rig water melon red flake fluke. No luck. So, he switched to a watermelon black seed fluke and I switched to a trig senko in watermelon with red and green flake (basically my number one bait on the pond). I hooked into one but he shook it while I was passing the pole to the kiddo. A couple minutes later I felt a tap and I layed the wood on one. Passed it to kiddo. Line starts stripping out as he is trying to reel, so I tightened the drag a smidge. He even said, whimpering “dad, I think it’s to big”. He kept at it though. Got it close to shore and he handed pole to me, grabbed his net and gave it a go. It was to big for the net. Unhooked it and he released it back in the water. He was pretty pumped. He then needed to pee in the bushes and wanted to play on the playground.

Lake Pflugerville 10/3/15
Todd and I started the morning on the same wavelength. We both were primarily throwing soft plastics. Todd quickly got a couple in the boat to my chagrin, as I flubbed a couple of good strikes. Todd got a couple more (by boat flipping ‘em, LOL) but now I was matching him fish for fish.
The water vis dropped to around two feet, and I up-sized my tackle and got good bite. The fish swam under the boat and headed for the thick grass. I yelled at Todd for help. Without hesitating, he grabbed my line and boat flipped this lean four pounder. Thanks Todd!

Saved the skunk
Headed down the street to Lake Pflugerville this morning around 9:30am. Fished till about 11am without a bite so I decided to head back to the truck. I’m almost back to the truck when I see a decent bass sitting in about a foot of water. Decided to throw my senko out, kind of expecting him to be spooked off. I throw it about 10 yards passed him in some weeds and started slowly twitching it toward him. Got close and he swam up to investigate but didn’t take it. Threw it out again, got it close to him and slowed it down, letting it sit for about 5-10 seconds before barely twitching it again. He turned and grabbed it by the end, I was a little too excited to I tried to set the hook too early, I don’t even think he had the hook in his mouth. Cursing myself as he started to jolt away, but then noticed he turned and settled just about 6 feet from where he was. Decided to throw it at him again, surely he’s not going to take it again.. Same technique, nice and slow, got it close he turned and grabbed it, this time I was ready, waited a second and set the hook. Fish on… Measured 15 inches. Not bad… at least I saved the skunk and it was the first bass I’ve caught by visually spotting. I saw a larger one in the same area but it swam off. ImageUploadedByOutdoor Forums1443894436.832063.jpg

Hey y'all my name is Jonathan. I love fishing, but have never actually been in a tournament. My dad who is an excellent fisher, going on his 7th combat tour overseas, has decided that when he gets back he is going to buy a bass boat. I want to start improving my fishing skills so that one day I can kick some (b)ass in a tournament with my pops. I am looking for someone who wouldn’t mind me riding on their boat to fish with, I will even chip in for gas. I’m even willing to fish in a tandem kayak haha, anything to get me some more exposure to our beautiful lakes. I live 10 minutes from Lake Austin so until then I’ll be bank fishing.

Lake Austin - KXAN
KXAN had a very good update on the fall of Lake Austin last night. Went over the over use of grass carp to completely eliminate the grass and every thing else that is green in the water. Said it would take 8 to 10 year to recover if nothing is done. They addressed the decline of bass fishing and the water quality problem. TPWL said that they are working on the problem. Looks simple to me but I am sometimes a little slow. Take out the carp!!! I know that there is a lot more to it than that but you have to start some where. There is a big difference in control and eliminate. My two cents.

Any good fishing spots for the shore?
Thanks!

Guadapalooza 2015 - Looking to bacseat
(posted this on ttz and then forgot to post it here too. My bad).
Looking to backseat for the upcoming 2015 Guadapalooza tourney in late November. I can provide entry fees, gas money, beverages, tacos, tacquitos, basically anything to get me on the boat and in the tourney. I’ve never participated in a bass tourney, never caught a guad and never fished Travis (these are pros. I’ll show you below) I’ve listed out my pros and cons below.
Pros :
- Experienced bass fisherman from the bank of my local pond. And from the front deck of Charles Whiteds boat.
- Deadly efficient with a sabiki rig
- I hammer crappie
- I know how to fly fish
- I’m terrible with names, but I remember stupid(awesome)facts that have no relevance but seem to come up during business (thank you Gus Frerote head butt)
- I treat others boats w/ uber respect
- I have my own rods/reels/etc. Whatever tackle I don’t have I’ll buy.
- I have a sweet guad tat that I can have more made of
- I’ve never caught a Guad. I’ve never fished for a guad. Therefore I have zero bad habits.
Cons :
- probably that there is only one of me. And that I don’t have my own boat.
If you want you can vet me at the habitat build this fall if you want. I’ll be there (assuming it goes as planned and it’s before Guadapalooza). Shoot me a pm if you have interest.

Lower Colorado Water Blowup
Hey,
Does anyone know why there is a massive water explosion on the LCR - a few miles downstream of the 183 put in, just upstream of where Boggy Creek lets in. There is a bouy marking it on river left. About every 20mins there is a massive explosion of water. You can hear what sounds like a gate open and there must be an underwater pipe that releases a ton of water.
I see it everytime I fish, and it’s driving me crazy - what the hell is that?

LBL saturday
Launched at 6am on Saturday to beat the crowds and get a parking spot at the ramp. Holiday Inn ramp is very nice. Headed up north to Barton springs. Scales decided to kick my butt throwing everything and catching something on everything. The water was filthy and there was not as much grass as I remember from last year at the same time. Sure were some carp actively feeding though. Biggest he caught was probably around 4lbs.
We headed into Barton Springs and a person in a yak using a fly rod to catch those elusive bluegill decided to well…Hey that boat is to big to be in here. Hey that lure is too big to fish in here. He continued on with more and even threw a bluegill toward us and yelled here have some bait…
Lauren Scales and myself were not impressed. From his behavior he could probably not even spell Lund if he was looking in the direction of my boat. Way to keep it classy Austin.

Need lure selection help!
Trying to build up my freshwater fishing tackle box. Fished Saltwater for a long time and have tons of that stuff. What are some good lures to get right now? Please include color, size, etc.
So far I have a couple of white spinnerbaits, some Gamakatsu wide gap hooks, Senkos in Watermelon with Peal, and just picked up some Watermelon YUM Dingers. I heard KVD square bill lures are good but I have no clue which size, color, etc works best for right now.
I just moved to Lago Vista and will be fishing around the North Shore of Lake Travis mostly.

Lake LBJ black bass
My wife and I spend a week fishing LBJ once or twice a year. We generally fish the Colorado, Llano, and maybe a mile or so toward the main lake…We catch enough fish to make it fun. Recently while there we noticed there was a tournament on the lake somewhere. During the day we also noticed very few tournament fishermen in out part of the lake. That evening we checked the internet and found how some BIG fish were caught during the day. I must assume they were caught somewhere in the larger part of the lake…NOT where we normally fish. So, here is my question or request. We need some ideas on how to fish the other part of the lake . I have good maps and the boat has GPS. I just don’t really know where to start. If you would like to share a couple of good spots and maybe techniques or bait types, that would be awesome! Thanks

Fayette 9/27
Fished the lake for five hours. I had a hard time finding a decent bite. It got better and better as I went on. Caught a few in the four pound range, but a bunch of small fish. It’s tuff fishing right now, but the few good fish I did catch gave me a great fight.

Tracker Wet Sand and Detail!
Let me start by saying I had a repeat guide customer and his son today, and when he pulled up the first thing he said was…..“new boat huhh” I just smiled and said nope its the same one yall fished out of a couple months ago, it just got a face lift! Well it certainly does not look like the same boat. They did a fantastic job restoring my Cat back to what she is suppose to look like. I will get some pictures posted soon. In addition to the boat looking great I have to say their price was great! and I mean just that. This was something I shopped as is prudent on all big purchases. I originally got a quote at a weigh-in from a well know and respected company that specialized in this kind of restoration. I was quoted a price of $225 for a wet sand (Yes I have witnesses) which I though was out of this world. I got a price from Tracker which was more than that, so I decided to use company X. When I took the boat over to them they told me it would be $1700.00 for the restoration. When I reminded him of our conversation at the ramp he craw-fished and said that price was for a wash and wax, to which I replied I never said anything about a wash and wax. Needless to say I left and took it where I should have in the first place. When it was done the actual price was lower than what I was expecting (No where near $1700) and the boat looks great. Thank you Gary and crew for the standard Great Service and job y'all did on my Bass Cat. I’ll say this to anyone needing service in the Greater Austin Area, shop around everywhere you can and then shop Tracker, you will see, best people and the best service center around!

Beautiful Day on Lake Austin today
Caught a 3 ½ lber to start off the day around 8AM then we caught 4 more that were all less than 1- 1 ½ lbs. Caught all on zellpop and t-rigged BBH.
Boy was it a gorgeous day on the water. Not hardly any Wakeboard boats and the water was mostly smooth and like glass in places.
Zipped down the lake from south end to almost the low water bridge and weather was almost cool at times.
Planning on going back out first thing tomorrow morning with the wife just to gawk at the dream houses.

I did have a lot of action using Baby Bass wacky rigged Senko’s and used up all of my stock but had no luck using T-Rigged. I was catching them by casting from deeper water to the weed edges and although none were anything to brag about they did seem to very irritated about being caught.

GeorgetownThursday Nighter 2016 BIG announcement
Before I go on to the BIG announcement. I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Ronnie and Eddie Maynard! These guys have sacrificed their time for the last 18 years to run the Georgetown tournament. The way I figure they have run close to 500 events on Georgetown. Don’t get me wrong these guys aren’t going anywhere. Ronnie and Eddie will be fishing with us next year. We just wanted to give them a chance to take a break and enjoy themselves a little more while we work for them. The Lord knows they deserve it! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!! So please when you see Ronnie or Eddie let them know how much you appreciate all that they do and have done for us. Shoot, I also need to give credit where credit is due. Like I said Ronnie and Eddie laid the ground work and ran an awesome week night event for the last 18 years + but I also want to say thanks to everyone on the TTZ staff for showing us how we can make a good thing even better. One person in particular that I would like to thank is Shawn Tamez. Shawn has been a big help to me. I know I’ll be leaning on him plenty in the future. So Thanks Shawn!! You too John, don’t be jealous. LOL!
Ok now for the BIG announcement!!!!!!!! TTZ will be hosting the Georgetown Thursday Nighter next year. The tournament will basically stay the same with one small exception. We are going to blow it up for the guys and gals that fish Lake Georgetown. There will be the usual TTZ flare with the tent, banner, sign in table, lap top, wifi, the works, you know how we roll! We will be awarding an AOY prize for 2016 and we’ll kick off the season by giving away a pair of Costa sunglasses and Costa coupons for all that fish the first event! All of those items will be complements of TTZ! Oh and some Free Lone Star at weigh in. And I, Chris Baker, do solemnly swear to cook Dirty Burgers on the reg. We are also talking about a championship! The points system will model after the Thursday Nighters. We’ll also have the weigh in live using the TTZ Live Leader Board. Alan Green and myself will take the load off of Ronnie and Eddie by taking care of sign up, weigh in, and pay out. We’ll also make sure the stats and pictures are updated on the Friday after each event. I know there are going to be more questions so let’s here them. Also, I will have rules posted soon. They will basically stay the same with a few additions, nothing major. We will also be Skeeter Real Money sanctioned and I do expect to hit 60+anglers next spring! It’s going to be off the chain! One last thing…Expect surprises. You never know what we’ll throw at you next.

Georgetown Tuesday 9/22 results
I had the privilege of fishing with Booker again last night. The fishing was pretty good. We caught around 10 fish total. I say “we”. The truth is Booker put on a show for me. I got stuck in my old routine and he changed it up a bit by throwing a fluke and jerking it fast. It worked better than either of us expected.
The real news is the fish Kenny brought in. He had a 6 lb largemouth, a 4 lb largemouth, and a 3 lb smallmouth. Man that was a nice stringer! And Booker had a nice smallmouth too! Sounds promising!
Results:
11 boats fished
1st place Kenny and partner 3 fish for 13 lb 3 oz and a 6 lb 0 oz big bass.
2nd place David Dalamier? and son 5 fish for 5 lbs 9 oz

POC Offshore
Thanks to Fermin, Brooks and Clay for my first time to fish offshore along the Texas coast. We fished Texas waters for Red Snapper. Red Snapper from 4lbs to 35lbs on live piggy perch, live finger mullet and squid.
Also fished the POC jetties for Redfish. Mostly caught oversized reds on live finger mullet. On Saturday, it was a boat show at the jetties.
While fishing offshore, we caught lane snapper to 3-5lbs, triggerfish, chicken dolphin, strawberry grouper, undersized gag grouper, red lips fish, and several big fish breakoffs on 80lb braid!. Also trolled for barracuda with a hookup and loss after fight. Saw my first water spout, too. Seas where 3-4ft with swells breaking every 5-7 seconds. It was first for me for several catches. Great fun. I did take Dramamine, but never felt bad. In a Fermins Striper Boat (Guide on Lake Buchanan) he taught me a lot. Fished out of his 25 Ft. Tidewater center console boat with twin 150 Yamaha motors.,

Thanks for the memories for three solid days on the water.
Also ran into several Austin fishing friends, while they were out wade fishing. Hope you caught!

POC area 9/22/15.
I have not posted in a while, hope all of you are getting to fish a little. In the last 3 trips this week I have limited on both reds and trout each day. Today was epic on the redfish magic. So if you can get done this way do it quick, the bite is on. Stop in for a full report. Fish Catching Travel | Fishing, travel, and techniques for catching fish.

What to do on Decker?
I recently bought a fishfinder for my kayak, and want to try her out on Decker. In the past I have just fished the reeds with frogs with pretty good success on the west side of the lake. I am wondering if I should try to go into open now, that I can “see” the fish, or just continue with what I have had been doing. Probably going out this weekend.
Thank you for your input.

Copano Bay 9/18-9/20
Light winds SE all weekend. Cloudy, high of 95. No red tide in Copano.
We fished a lighted pier a couple nights without much success. Little plastics brought up little trout, largest probably went 12". I even tried a few croaker and mullet and didnt do much better. We were fishing a slack tide, I suspect had we tried at 5am with moving water the action would have been better.
My cousin couldnt make it out on Sunday and I had expected to have to kayak fish, but he let me borrow the 24’ Shallow Sport. It drafts in 8" and can supposedly run in 3" and handles like you would think - with none of the boat in the water and just a little bit of prop when on plane it can do a 180 in about a quarter mile. We left at first light and being a tad uncomfortable in a borrowed boat, we put the power pole down and waded the northern shoreline of Copano for 3 hours. It was about 2.5" deep and most grass and mud bottom. The reds were thick and we did quite a bit of sight casting to tails. We fished tops (bone spook jr.) and tails (gulp 4"swim mullet and TTF flats killers) If you didnt land it on their nose, the lure would pick up grass and wouldnt get hit, so we only landed a few. Kept one at 25" for dinner.
I spent the ride back to Austin trying to justify to myself and the wife that we needed a boat to no avail.

Pair of skeet Reese rods by Wright & McGill
I’m selling off a couple of my rods to make room in the garage. I’m selling my 7'10" magnum crank bait bait casting rod. It’s got a very solid and thick backbone and really launches crankbaits out far. I purchased new in June. These sell newfor $99.99. I’ve since gotten more into kayak fishing and this is too long for a kayak. Will sell for $50
The second rod is also a Wright & McGill Skeet Reese rod. This one is a spinning reel rod, fast action 6'10" finesse tube jig rod. It has the honeycomb micro guides. I purchased new back in June. These sell for $120 (currently on Amazon for $88). This is for the rod only, the reel in the photo is NOT included. Will sell for $60
I’ll sell the pair for $100 or willing to trade the pair for a Abu Garcia Veritas (spinning reel version only)
