Fun Brazos Trip today

[Strider]

My buddy Sean and I hit the Brazos today. Fish catch was not too good but much fun was had

Big drum, first cast


2nd cast, another big drum


Super rare summer blue


My island base - the river rose rapidly today


Seans white bass was attacked by a big longnose on the way in. Look at the bite marks!


I got that sucker . He will be lunch tomorrow.


Sean on the way back. The Native is the best plastic riverboat IMO


Me on the way back in the Conquista.


Enjoying a couple of cold Coronas at the takeout


Though we had a great time we both agreed that winter fishing is much better.

Man, are they fast, and super-wary when the water is as clear as it is now. They are not easy to catch for sure. I was up there one day and exhausted myself throwing my net and could not catch a one.

Great report Kim. We are back to the Yo-Yoing water levels again. I think it really screws the fishing up when we are in this Summer patter of fluctuating levels.

Darrell, you are right. We even had a hard time getting minnows with a 15' seine yesterday. Too much water. With lake levels still healthy we can probably look forward to the same for a while. You guys have the right idea with the overnighters and alligator gar fishing. Catfishing has been pretty dismal lately.
