I watched the meeting on TPWD’s YouTube channel. I don’t have the link but it should be viewable on their website since they carried it live.
Wanted to make pass along an update. The commission met during a work secession yesterday (3-27-24) and made a couple of modifications to the proposal on the table. One of the changes was changing the oversized limit from 30” to 28” minimum length. The second was removing the language regarding no ...
I appreciate all the information. I also apologize for a late reply, but I didn’t have the email upon reply box checked. I’ve been checking out google earth and looking around the forum already. Certainly going to look up info on OH Ivey too. Now, if all this wind would calm down I’ll have a look i...
Although there may not be as much activity now, there's 20+ years of information you can research. Use the search function to the upper right. Having said that, I can't believe no one said OH Ivie. It has to be the hottest bass lake in Texas, if not the country. That lake is kicking out big bass lik...
As usual on a the day I have to travel back to San Antonio, we chose to fish a close by with a quick paddle. Thought about heading to Bayside on Copano, but the winds were slightly calmer than forecast so we ran south to Ingleside on the Bay. It was a pretty morning. https://i.imgur.com/Ud5nVMvl.jpg...
A couple weeks ago my neighbor pitched an idea to head to the coast March 9th to fish. I didn't really want to go because of Spring Break and Oysterfest, but the solunar and extended forecast didn't look too bad. https://i.imgur.com/O3GQzRdl.png The Wednesday before the trip it got, um, windier. htt...
I didn’t read the link but I know of someone who received a citation for this and Ive also seen a GW write a citation on Lone Star Law for this. A friend of mine who fished a lot on the Brazos river with limb and trot lines was fishing with us in AP last summer. We saw a GW at the boat ramp and he ...
The trot line should have been marked with buoys and TPWD Trotline Tag (which may or may not have been been on it). Seems like they attempted to be within the law since it had contact info.
I looked at the water temps at various gauges from Matagorda to the border and temps were into the mid 30's. There's also pics of frozen foam on beaches around Port O'Conner/Port Lavaca.
The water got colder than I thought it would, but definitely not as long Feb 2021.
What size hook is that? Hook: Gamakatsu B10S, Size #1 Belly: Walmart White Foam (about 1/2 the gap between the hook point and shank) Body: Hairline Ice Olive Brown Dub Back: 2mm White River Olive Foam (about 2/3 the gap between the hook point and shank) Rear Legs: Orvis Barred Zonkers White/Black, ...
Working on a frog pattern for this upcoming spring. I'm wanting to mimic the small Cricket Frogs which litter the stream banks I fish. I also wanted a fly which has motion, not commotion, as I believe our Hill Country bass are spooked by too much noise. It's based off a "Pimple Popper Frog"...
Was looking up TPWD Lease Access points, I stumbled upon their interactive viewer: Link
Obviously, it shows the location of their leased access points, but also numerous other access points, paddling trails, and river gauges. It's quite a resource.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's Eve. I hope the New Year brings you many wonderful fishing and kayak adventures. Thank you for being a part of this forum.
Went down there 10/29 thinking perhaps barrier was removed since the abandonment failed but NOPE, all blocked off and even have stupid large boulders placed at parking area on side of road. The end of 8 mile road fenced off as well. What a shame and a sham, no other close access point for the Deer ...
