Garcitas and The Lavaca River

With the sketchy weather Chad hit the river and the creek and sent along this report.

Hey Doug great report, sounds like y’all had fun! Just wanted to let you know we hit Garcitas on sunday evening. 20-25 trout 3 keeper took my son Taylor and his friend Andrew. They had a blast. Cold windy and raining, they suited up and hooked em up!

The look on their face says it all.

Then today we hit the Lavaca but didn’t get there till after lunch. But it was a good trip, me and my buddy Jeremy  boxed 10 ! Fish were definitely on the ledges off the banks! Tons of trout in the river, big trout was 20″ but lots of 17-19″ today.

The river is still beautiful and not muddy. Looks like we will go chase the big girls on Matty island on Wednesday in anticipation of the blow on Thursday should be good! It wont be from a lack of trying if we don’t. There was a 27 1/2″ trout caught in Garcitas on Thursday! So the big girls are headed deep. Thanks for your consistent work in keeping us updated. Thanks chad.

And thanks to your for your continued reports.  The information we post on here helps lots of folks catch a few fish, one of the main purposes of this blog.  Your experience the last couple of trips on both was what we found.  It will be real interesting to see how this fresh water influx affects both of them.  And it looks like the boy’s had a big time.  Anytime you get on the water at that age is a good time.   Can’t wait to hear how it goes Wednesday.  I have a friend coming here tomorrow with his dad and if the creek is not to dirty that is where you will find us Wednesday morning.

I heard from Ed who decided to drink the Wade Right Kool-Aid I have been drinking like a drunken sailor.

Doug,
I also enjoy reading all your “stuff” and especially now when Chad and you compare what and how to fish for success. Makes me really think about what days / or weekend I can try and go fish. Went and picked up two of the Wade Right setups for myself and my fishing partner/buddy (I’m 58 and he’s 68 ). Just been real good friends for the last 20 years. Thanks, and keep the “stuff” coming!! Ed

Thanks for your nice comments and continued support.  Nothing better than fishing with a real buddy.  I hope you like your Wade Right harness.  Whether you choose to carry two rods or not, having the front rod holder well off the water is so nice, makes it easier to take off the fish and reduces dunks to a minimum.  And remember, practice putting it on before your first trip, it saves time, though it reduces the chance of a good laugh.  And Chad and others who contribute do add real knowledge.  What works for me may not be your thing, but if we take all the information and put it together hopefully it all adds up to fish in the boat.

*******************

I try not to think of this as “my” blog.  This is our blog, without you it is nothing.  On that subject I can not stress enough how thankful I am when any of you choose to participate.  Whether the report is a great one, or a poor one, it all adds up to increased knowledge for all of us.  There are lots of ways to skin a cat.  So feel free to comment anytime, or complain, I am a big boy and can take it.  So keep those cards and letters coming, they are the heart of this blog.

*******************

The trolling motor saga drags on.  It has now been in the shop for a total of 41 days in two places, and it is still not done.  Unfreakin’ believable.  The customer service where it is now is maybe the worst ever.  I have been keeping detailed notes on how it has gone and when it is finally back on the front of the boat I will let you judge for yourself whether the place that has it is worthy of your patronage.  I can tell you right now, the day I pick it up is the last time I ever set foot in the place.

*********************

I will be heading to the creek today with Aaron and his dad, it will be interesting how the fishing goes.  It could be great, and it might really suck.  So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.

Good Luck and Tight Lines
