Wonderful Day 58 - 70 degrees Wind S 5 - 10 62 - 67 degree water. 15 Channels to 3.5 pounds using shrimp and Marv's. Wall was rough and unproductive. The cove was totally without fish.

All fish were taken under the turkeys.
Stealthfully snuck up on them and threw the bait under the branches.
Each tree produced 2-3 fish.

this event on Texas Fishing Forum What a great event! About 80 folks fished, laughed, joked, shared secrets (yeah, right!), and ate. Everyone chipped in and made it wonderful.

Our heaviest 10-catfish stringer team winners are: 1st
place - Cliff Hill and Dave Thomas 19.80 lb
~ $223 Our heaviest catfish individual winners are: 1st place -
Cliff Hill
3.74 lb - ?? (I don't
remember) Thanks to Lonnie for the certified scales, working the weigh-in, and to Audrey for handling the money. Audrey is a special lady...up and collecting at 5 A.M. and understanding the Alien algorithm for determining the prize amounts. Everyone needs to thank her for her perfect performance in dealing with the weird people in this event. A big, big thanks to Marty for donating the trophies and getting us to expand the prizes. A "thank you" to the pride of my life, Linda, for doing all the preppin', dippin' and breadin'. More thanks to Mark. Tammy, Mike and Rachel for helping Linda and I with watching our 5 yr old grand girl, Beth, and preparing the tables and cleaning, during and afterwards. I will be updating this area with a spread sheet which will give the details of the results in the next couple of days. but first, the pictures.

Calaveras - Don
|
Beautiful calm day, 90 degrees, Light wind 91 - 94 degree water. 1 dink - just one of those days. Fished between the new and old bridges where I have caught so many in the past.... not even a bite on shrimp or Marv's. The boat performed great, .... even after a long rest. Gonna be out more when it is cooler and the water turkeys are back. They are still selling the annual passes for the same prices...a real bargain. Got my senior all water annual Texas fishing license online this morning for $22.00 plus $5 service charge...pretty good deal. You can only get this from Sep to Sep...not year-to-date, using the online service. |

Calaveras - Don
|
Beautiful windy day, 85 degrees, calm wind early NE and then switching from SE 10-20. 85-86 degree water. 5 Nice Channels... biggest 3.8 Fished under large dead trees which were just vacated by cormorants. The first 10- 15 minutes was all that was needed in each of the two spots. All the rest, deep or the cove was a waste of bait. All caught on peeled shrimp. Cove was running but no one was catching. Super to have the birds back. A small contingent of white pelicans and lots of water turkeys. The eagle is still in the cove along with the osprey.
