Nueces white bass run winding down

Post by Prof. Salt »

I finally got doctor permission to paddle again last week, and went up to the Nueces five out of six days. I was surprised that the bass were still spawning, but the numbers dwindled during the week and I believe the run has ended now. It was good for a few days, and I'm sure glad the fish waited this late so I could get up there and join in. If you're interested, the drum/goo are running in the same spots now. They resist striking at a fly, but I learned that if you keep dragging a fly in front of them, they can be aggravated enough to strike. Just be very sneaky getting close enough to cast. These fish are much more spooky than white bass.

Good that you are able to get your paddle on, and that the whites hung around +just for you+!
You'll just have to work your way back up to BTB shape.
Looking forward to further adventures.
