Paddled up the Colorado River?

How many people have padeled up the Colorado versus paddling down?
What launches, how far & where. Looking to see the usage of Kayaks in my area. Smithville>< La Grange. Good spots to fish. Good camping spots would also be great. 8)

Schooling Catfish On The Colorado

A few weekends ago I ventured up river a few miles. Came across a black cloud 100ft. x 50ft. As I paddled over I could see fish scatter. I really had no idea what it was. Casted out some bait and caught a 12.5 catfish. O.K.... Casted out again and 10" catfish. How many people have seen this? I ...

My question is how do you return a flounder gigged thats to small you thought was legal? Fishing rod and reel for a limit of 10 flounder is a tough task. Catching them from my kayak without lights and darkness seem more of a sport. If i gig my luck would have it everyone is under sized and I would b...

A few years ago at our camp in plum/winchester texas side, we seen 5'+ AG's. Never would hook up on a large one. Used nylon string and caught 10" size all day. Seems the larger they get the easier they can suck the bait off the hook. Now that the river has been low have not seen one of size. La...

Oak Thicket is nice. This park is where the cabins are. I have not launched there. If you do, turn left (east) and paddle up. There is a really nice cove. If you want nice catfish paddle over to the next cove and sit in the trees in 17' of water. The first park is where I launch all the time. Nice c...

Casting Crab Trap for Bait

Bought this for the kids but confiscated it because they caught 30+ crabs in an hour. :) What I did was cast it out on a bait pole and it stays open. When you see your line start moving give it a quick jerk and the trap closes shut. Reel it in and the crab is caught. When used by kids they just sat ...
