What is “the best” catfish reel? Loaded question because everyone has their own opinion but I need a couple and can’t figure out which will do a great job long term with few or no problems.

Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I appreciate them!!

Thinking on Alligator Gar has done a 180 degree turn from the past. I remember years ago when members here worked to get a limit placed on them for control of over fishing that would destroy them eventually, as has happened over most of their original range. I reading this article in Texas Monthly a...

Those are beautiful pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

I saw a fellow on YouTube who just set it on the side of his kayak with the little unit they sell to hold it. He bent the head into the water surface and paddled off. It looked like a good image and he did well. THat’s all I know about it, but really thought it was interesting. It sidesteps severel ...

Has anyone used one of these. If so, how do you like it. What do you think of the concept?

I saw it used in a video on YouTube. It appeared to work well with the visual coming up on your phone.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I always enjoyed Mythman's exploits and posts, but I haven't seen any lately. Did I just miss them or is he not posting? I did a search and the last post I saw on that was January 23, 2017.

Anyone know if he's still on TKF?

Ray

P.S.
Or similar to the one Tombo gave you?

Thank y'all for this great thread. I am enjoying it.

Is this the Inticer you are talking about: http://www.saltwater-fishing-texas.com/ ... ducts.html

It has been several years since I saw Dean and his wife. When this happened, Ihave been wondering how they are doing. Does anyone know if their building and business are still intact and they are okay?

Thanks!!

I got an email this morning from Outdoor Hub with several links. On one I hit another link and ended up at Northwoods Angling. Below is a link on a trip they made, coming from up north where they live, to the Trinity River for gar. Below that is one of them catching a couple of large cats. Take a lo...

I've had to paddle up the river in 3000 cfs because I wasn't floating all the way to Waco .

Thanks!! I'll bet that was a lot of fun!! How would you rate the danger factor when that happens?

How are you judging when to go on the Brazos below the dam with the new release method? Are they giving any warning and waiting period before release? As I understood, they were not. If not, how are you handling an immediate release of 3,000 cfs, if you are wading or kayaking just below the gates? I...

I don't have a link but they have changed water release at the Whitney Dam. They used to give a 20 to 30 minute warning and then release at varying rates. About 4 to 6 months ago, they changed the rules, and apparently now there is no signal, and water flow goes from little or nothing to 3,000 cfs. ...

It is amazing how much sand the Brazos and Colorado Riversmcan lay down during these floods!!!! I cannot figure our where t all comes from. Anybody know?

In some places, it is like being on the coast. And, wheeling or pulling through it with a kayak is tough.

Ray

How is the fishing below the dam now with release?

Well, you do a beautiful job shooting photos! Keep it up, and keep posting them so I can enjoy your work. The fish won't get in the way either; I enjoy seeing them, too.

Scott,

I always love your pictures!! You do a great job. They usually end up being the background on my computers are you add more. What kind of camera are you using?

Ray

Good thread!

Well, that was impressive. What other jobs had you done to prepare yourself for this, or did you just jumpin and conquer the problems as you went? Whichever the way, you did a beautiful job.

I live near Trading House and I have never heard of anyone catching a Peacock Bass. I suspect they require warmer winter temperatures than we had during the stocking times, or now at times, but that is just a guess. There were a lot of redfish while the power plant at Trading House, but once they st...
