Fish Catching Travel
Sorry I have not posted anything the last week, things seemed to conspire against me to get any real serious fishing done. The wind has been a real hassle the last week or so, and yesterday it was downright howling. Thankfully we will be back to our regular pain in the butt spring pattern. Usually not to windy to fish, but still windy. Just hope it does not repeat last year where it seemed to blow out of the southeast over 20 mph all the way into July.
The other thing that was not conducive to getting any fishing done was we did a little mission trip to help out the native Americans on the reservation. Of course, that is as long as you believe dropping some $$$ at the casino in Coushatta actually helps them. I will say we really did like staying there and will be making a return trip soon.
I did manage to slide out to Coleto Creek for a couple of hours of fishing last Friday afternoon. Fishing was ok, and they still bit both topwater and spinnerbait.
They are still eating that topwater.
There were fish all the way in the back of the pockets that day, and I caught 3 on 3 casts in the back of one of them. Start looking for the ones with protection from the wind with the sun shinning rightg down in them. I am still just jerking that balsa topwater under and watching closely as they are hitting it as it pops up. There were also some carp in the backs of a couple of pockets, and I did see my first Tilapia of the year in the back of a cove. We will just have to see how this little cold front affected things. I will be on Coleto at least one full day next week, so should have a better more complete report for you then.
A couple of things I do know is that I have seen some strings of crappie and catfish at the cleaning table. Most of the crappie I have heard about came from a little deeper water, but the best cat-fishing seems to be in 10 foot of water on stink bait. So now is the time to give Coleto a try.
There sure are lots of pigs on the shores of Coleto.
My daughter’s father-in-law is coming to visit me in April, and we want to kill a few hogs. I am still trying to arrange a hunt or two, but have not had the success I might have hoped arranging it. With all the dang hogs in Texas it should not be a problem. So if you might have any suggestions or recommendations on who or where, let me know.
So it is time to get off my rear end and get a little saltwater fishing time in. If you want to catch a big trout you have to put in the time, and now is the time. The leader of Team Nancy will be in Florida for the week, so any day I do not fish will be my fault. So again excuse the lack of posts lately, that is about to change! So thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
