That sucks Roo! I have fished around Arkansas Bend lots of times and I think only once did a ski boat pull within 100 feet of me and then cause a large wake as they pulled a skier behind them but nothing like what happened with you. The punks were probably drunk. Bad karma for them. I am glad you ar...

Howdy Roofish! Depending on the water depth, you could still use a floating line though you would have use a fly with heavy lead or brass eyes and a long leader to get it and keep it on the bottom. I have fished with some other fellow fly fishers for whites there before and they did fine with a floa...

I posted the following update to my blog and thought I would post it here as well in case anyone is interested in going to Reimer's soon. I'm off to take a shower and get some shut-eye. http://lh6.ggpht.com/_1qfEvgDcCB0/S6LZ-LObu8I/AAAAAAAADzE/G69iHNyS3cs/s800/img_2830.jpg This morning my wife infor...

Ok, I gotta go there, you guys are killing me, I want to fish/kayak that river so badly .... I just e-mailed the US Army Corps of Engineers ... "I need a map of the San Gabriel River showing where the Brazos River Authority ends and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers parts begin. Not where the d...

I am probably one of the few that wears flats boots that lace up. I've worn the same pair of the old style Patagonia Marlwalkers for just over 9 years. These things are bomb proof. When I don't wear waders I will use a thin pair of those dress socks when it is hot or a pair of neoprene socks when it...

I heard through a fellow blogger today of Ol' Al's passing and it was really sad news. I learned how to cast and tie through his instruction just like probably a lot of guys here. I'll never forget how nice a man he was. God Bless you Al.

Hey Bobby! I want to fish badly but have a lot of things going on with my three kids pretty much every week and weekend. However, I had some time during Thanksgiving and had another training session for my son who will be the next generation kayak fisherman. He's gone with me a few times on local ri...

Holy smokes! That's what I call a meat haul! Nice report and I wish I could get into them half that thick next time I get a chance to head to the coast.

Hey Randy! Thanks for the photos and the report! The water looks good! Sorry to hear the carp weren't cooperating. Usually the bass cooperate when the carp don't. I like that yellow yak. New?

That is an nice bass GRR! :clap: Now, that centipede is bad little insect! Last year, my son ran out of the bathroom yelling there was something in the bathtub. It turned out to be a close to 8" redhead centipede trying desperately to crawl up the side of the slippery bathtub! All I can think o...

Sounds like a great trip. What part of the lake did you fish?

What was the topic and how did it go? Standing ovation?

Good to see catdaddy again! Thanks Bobby!

Unfortunately I am not to familiar with the Abu 5000 but more with the Shimano Curado low profile style and Shimano Culcutta round baitcasters. Both require you to pull or push in weights to control the initial spinning of the spool with the inertia from the cast. You then have a cast control knob (...

Oh I forgot to add, one weekend that I was out of town several years ago, my wife encountered a kingsnake by the garbage can outside. It was well over 4 feet long. She call the city which connected her to the CP police department which at the time was very close to our neighborhood. Rather than send...

Hey GRR, We have a drainage canal near the house so we get snakes from time to time around the yard, mostly black necked garter snakes which I know are harmless but sometimes we see a diamond backed water snake or yellow bellied water snake. On the last two, the first time I encountered them I termi...

Hey Bill! Still around. Been busy with family activities every weekend and so just been wishing I could be fishing until last weekend. Not sure about this coming weekend since my wife is going out of town. Maybe sometime in June will get out again.

Went out to Jonestown Park for the second time to fish the area and ran into GRR who kindly showed me an easier place to launch from. We talked about lures, tackle and he pointed out a couple of spots. I fished for about two hours and picked up 5 small bass along the cliff side between the boat dock...

Next guess is what year was the alleged photo taken?

Frankly, I think Joe looks much better nowadays. He reminds me of one them fine Southern gentlemen.

Taking the kids to the carnival at the Austin rodeo in a little while. Y'all have fun!

Rudy's on 183?

I think folks are going to try and meet Barnacle Bill for lunch tomorrow. No idea where.

Stopped by with the family this afternoon. Most stuff was 10% off with some tackle 20% off. It was crowded but the checkout lines weren't too bad. Seems more people are looking than buying. At 10% off, Academy is still cheaper on may items. I went by on Saturday and I completely agree. I bought may...

Thanks for the update. Looks like they started markdowns already. Up to 30% off on most items except firearms and ammunition.

He moved to Victoria so he could fish whenever he wants. I talk to him usually once a week. He called me last night and gave me the weekly fishing report. He is doing well. He is enjoying some time off and fishing a lot!!!! That's what's known as a real "Texas Trout Bum" :wink: Doug, I do...
