Fish Catching Travel

Not just for bass anymore. 

I had hoped to hit Coleto yesterday but the front moving in around noon Friday looked kind of ugly, and it turned out to be just that.  In fact, once it started raining it rained for about 4 hours give or take a little and we got around 2″.  That puts us over 10″ ahead already for the year, a big difference from the last 3 years where we were always over 10″ down.

Today we had a shower or two in the morning , and it is starting to clear some right now.  I thought about going some today but the wind is supposed to blow 30 mph, so no fishing today, but I plan on being on the lake first thing in the morning.  And as I look at the window it is clearing but the trees are really shaking.  Hope it gets it out of its system.

I got another good report from Aaron up in Austin, he is still catching those bass.

Hey Doug,

Thanks for the salt report.  I’m hoping to get down there in the next couple weeks pending some cooperative weather.  My folks on Coleto are giving me the same reports – full and murky.  I may focus on the gulf if Coleto doesn’t clear up.

I hit the river one more time and had another good day on topwater – 18 fish with a couple over 20”.  Attached is a pic of the day’s best at 21”.  Caught the other fish as I waited for my buddy to paddle over and snap the photo.

I keep in touch if I’m able to get down there later this month.  , forward to some more reports from your home waters.

Looks like you are having a good run on topwater.  If I remember correctly it was topwater last time you sent a couple of pictures.  Hopefully I will get back in the groove down here with the weather report straightening out nicely.  I am real interested in how Coleto is fishing right now, not having seen it yet so who knows how that will go.  So keep in touch and thanks for the report.

Anybody got a Fayette County report?  I would like to make it back there before we get full summer hot, so if you know anything drop me a line.  And Clyde, how did it go on O

About the only other thing repeating is I managed to lose my raincoat.  I got it at Cabela’s by waiting until it was less than $100 and was thrilled when it got that cheap on sale.  The last thing I knew it was in a bag when I headed out to meet Chris to fish Thursday.  Unfortunately it is gone, who knows where.  We just got back from 2 weeks of hard fishing and hardly broke or lost anything.  Dang it.

Unfortunately not much else to tell you today.  I will be on Coleto at daylight in the morning and am really interested in what I will find.  Then Monday it will be the Gulf somewhere, though it will probably not be POC.  After Warriors Weekend they could use a day or two of rest.  So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.

Good Luck and Tight Lines
