FISH CATCHING TRAVEL

Knockin Tail Lures by My Coast Outdoors

Weather

89/50.  Sunny. Winds SSW at 10 to 20 mph.  (A basic carbon copy of last few days but finally some wind.  Nope did not happen.)

Lake Level

Last Friday 95.16.  Today 95.10 msl.  (The steady decline continues.  As the ramp continues to lose water I had hoped GBRA would go ahead and put the poles out to mark the end of the ramp.  Last time it got close to this folks did some serious trailer damage, the drop off is rough.)

Activity Times

Major 7:14 am to 9:14 am.

I managed to slip out a few hours Monday and the fishing was as slow as I have seen it in a while.  If I fish another day of no wind and high skies I will go berserk.  The plan was a fall and early winter of a farewell to Coleto but it just is not working out.  To top it all off the house sale things is off the rails and that continues to take time.  But oh well, you do what you have to do.

One thing about fall is often it is consistently inconsistent.  They will move in a heartbeat and that is what the fish I have been catching have done.  Whether location or depth they have changed, and I need to next time out.

The future of the lake is bright but if I see another one like this I just might jump in the lake.

The other day they were on a big break around a tree, this morning they were gone, not a bite.  From that point on the rest of the morning before I finally called no mas it was 7 and they all looked like they came from the same mold.  One did fall to a spinnerbait otherwise it was one here and on there on the swim jig and the beaver bait.  It was surprising they were gone off the deep wood which is a great fall spot and the magic tree was barren.

I hope winter gets here before I leave to Colorado to find some winter.

Hate to whine but since my medical troubles and return to Texas things have just not gone like I hoped.  And the weather has been just to freakin’ nice, if that is possible.  Funny when the wish is for some really crappy weather, cold rain, high winds, big front.  But that is what gets fall on Coleto going and with a month left maybe just maybe it will happen.

There is one last project on the boat trailer that will get done this weekend while you all are enjoying Thanksgiving.  The parts to put real fenders and step pads on the trailer will be here Friday and I can finally get that job out of the way.  All serious heavy duty they will not only be able to stand up to the rough roads of the high mountains along with long tows to Canada.  Plus, they will be able to stand the weight of anyone who wants to climb in the boat.  This project is going to be a one and done and hopefully last a lifetime.  But as you all know with boats that is asking a lot.

Please be careful this weekend as you enjoy your holiday.  The projections on the number of folks traveling by car this year is stunning.  And if you are flying good luck, what could possibly go wrong?  The Boss will be working most of it and I will be working around the place and enjoying a good book.  So keep stopping in and have a great Thanksgiving.

Good Luck and Tight Lines

Rudy – Rudy – Rudy

It is so sad to see what he has become.  When I commented on his legal affairs years ago some dude got all pissed off about me talking about him.  Well here we are, he is losing it all ($$$$$) and has a couple of criminal cases against him.  The 2 election workers who won his money at trial are trying to collect and he again in public repeated the lie they were fixing the election.  That is a complete fantasy, funny how it is fixed until you win then all is good, but he is about to be slapped down again, with maybe a little stay in the jailhouse.  And to top it off today he had an outburst where he accused the federal judge of being a radical democrat.  One problem wine boy he is a Trump appointee.  I take no joy in calling it right, but he continues to dig himself deeper and deeper and is getting exactly what he deserves.

My only comment on this no bail option for criminals is it is nonsense.  While for first time nonviolent it might be ok but when they have priors, and it is a crime of violence they need to stay locked up for the safety of all of us.  When I see one of these crazy stabbers who was let out 8 TIMES in the last year with no bail I cannot believe it.  We as a society have decided to not fund mental health but that is no excuse.  If you have been arrested multiple times you need to be in a cage, what kind and where is up to society.
