Still the fish are hiding from me , i will find them on next outing i am pretty sure it is on the rebound with what i saw today . Really looks good for the next guys which is a shame i wanted Marks boy to do good , i am sure they will come back and we will tear them up .

We had a blast watching the toads just killing the top waters we threw .

Wade showed up last night to hear the stories of the day before , he was ready , left out early to a good stiff breeze from the S at about 15 mph , a little while after the sun came up it laid back and stayed at about 10-12 mph all day . Hit our first stop but nobody seemed to be home , finally found some good fish in the second and third stops . Water color was good , but had to slip out to a little deeper water about 4 ft depth , top waters didn't produce the way they did the day before , but the old sea devils tore them up . The water feels great in the upper 80s , color is holding good . Caught trout to 26 inches and a lot of 20-23 inch fish , more of them than the 18 inchers . Mitch ended up winning the bets they had on mud sucker with the most spots and the big trout 26 7/8 , bob was wining on mud suckers until then and Ray was in first until Mitch came on and beat him . It was just all fun , another good day of fishing it's what i like to see the guys catching fish .

Right off started catching some nice trout to 29 inches most were 20-26 inches and a lot of 18 inches which Frank had a hard time turning loose . We threw top waters super spook juniors and sea devils and did good on both , catching fish all day . Bob had one of his best trips ever , which i enjoyed seeing him do everybody else did like they always do catch fish especially Ray . We had a great time caught a lot of fish and had fun . All the fish hit good and fought well , on the top waters big trout crashed them like they hadn't eaten in a month . It truly was a good day of catching , of course any time Frank lost a good fish he cussed my bar bless hooks giving me a hard time , Wade is suppose to show up tomorrow i hope it is as good as today .

Lewis called at the last minute and had his dad Kieth coming in from Georgia and wanted him to try wade fishing . So we headed out to the winds out of the SSW light and slowly switching to the ESE 10-15 mph , fishing in 3-5 ft water depth was good on Kieth's back . Showed and old bass fisherman from Georgia what wade fishing was like in South Texas he wasn't disappointed . With the water holding clear , it was great, no top water or mirror lures the grass was just to much , but that's ok we still caught limits of trout to 26.6 and limit of mud suckers to 27 inches throwing the old sea devils . The fish are on, this sure makes you forget the past slow days , looks like it's on now hopefully it will continue , if not we will always have a good time on the water , looking forward to some days ahead like we just had . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Saturday, May 29, 2010

Left out this morning hoping it would be like yesterday we were not disappointed . Winds were a little more out of the west at about 8-10 mph switching slowly around to the ESE and staying light , still looking at the moon as the sun came up , water still holding good color . After we got to the first spot caught a few fish but after that we were on , caught fish all day non stop . Fishing 3-5 ft water depth was very comfortable, with the temp up in the 80s even i didn't get cold . Threw sea devils and later broke out the 4r mirror lures and caught some real good toads , top water worked great when we could find an opening where the grass wasn't to thick that was a challenge in itself . John asks me after a while if we could look for some mud suckers so i looked , didn't have to look hard after breaking off several mud suckers finally started getting them to the baskets , in the clear water watching the reds fight is always a hoot . John ended up winning the fish pot again with a 26.6 inch mud sucker and a 25.6 inch trout , there is no telling how many big trout and reds got broke off , but that is just part of it . Paul and Marty had never fished like this before they are now hooked on wade fishing . After a day of catching limits of trout to 25.6 , and 8 mud suckers from 24 to 26 inches we went home well satisfied , the trout were all 18-25.6 more on the upper end . What a great day on the water with good friends and beutifull weather . GOOD DAY AT THE OFFICE CAPT. KEN

John his Dad MARTY and PAUL came in on a perfect time of weather water and everything lined up just right . The moon was full but that had no effect on us at all . Started catching fish in first stop then moved to second and third stop , caught fish all day long . John won the fish pot with a 23 inch trout . Was not any big fish caught but just a lot of 18- 23 inch trout there was nothing we could do wrong . The guys threw sea devils and some top water and had a lot of action on all , i really think we just got in May pattern and quickly is going into June pattern . The group caught limits of trout many times over , of course i missed the mud suckers but its just so hard to leave fish when there biting . Looks like tomorrow will be the same weather should get better we will see . After a day of limits of trout and 2 mud suckers went home with smiles on all faces . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Caught a limit of nice trout and a couple mud suckers . Looks like it's starting looking forward to up coming weekend . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Woke up excited winds down to 8-10 mph ESE , water color got much better . I told Randy and Walt that this is when we were going to tear em up . Fishing 3-5 ft water depth , throwing top waters and sea devils , it was slow all day . What seemed like good conditions did not help, the fish got another case of lock jaw . It seems like early April conditions ,the fish seem still spooky when any pressure changes occur . We managed to grind out a limit 17-22 inches and a couple more mud suckers . Randy and Walt had a flight out early afternoon so we headed in early , but that was ok we had a great time . Later that day a good friend was in town and came by and had talked to a lot of fishermen that reported no catches, so i was not quite as frustrated after hearing that news , but that is fishing some days catching and some days fishing. Of course i prefer catching , but it is getting right , the weather is starting to stabilize more every week . Looks like it's shaping up for a great summer . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Fishing 3-5 ft water depth , with some success on top waters but mainly on sea devils we started a little slow and did ok the rest of the day . Finally warm enough to wet wade for me anyway, temps about upper 70s , water color was off , with lots of grass . Managed to catch a couple of mud suckers with some good trout we caught up to 23 inches . Stuck a lot of fish before managed to catch a limit of keepers from 17-23 inches . But that was ok, we were catching that's what i like to see , it was a good trip Randy and Walt where both outstanding fishermen and just nice guys , looking forward to the second day hoping to run across some good solid toads . Its always a pleasure fishing with good people , which not many who fish and hunt aren't . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Good stop finished up our limit of solid 16-22 inch fish , and a couple more mud suckers i know Andrew wanted some good fish but i just could not find them the last 2 days , but we did catch alot of fish , and that is what i think we all like to do . Always looking forward to good days on the water , at least warmer ones . I think we are about there, but with great guys like these it makes it all worth it . ANOTHER GOOD DAY OUT CAPT. KEN

Fishing was very slow caught a few fish through the day nothing to write home about . We threw everything but the kitchen sink it was just slow . About 2:oo the wind started blowing fairly hard at 15 + mph , then it was on didnot take us long we had our limits fast . Headed home with a couple of mud suckers and a nice stringer of trout , the guys caught a lot and had a great time , only had one to 25 inches the rest 18-20 good solid trout . Hoping the next day even with another cold front we could have still another great day . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Winds still out of the NNE 5-10 mph , just can not seem to shake this winter . Got right on the fish in 3-5 ft water depth caught fish until we got tired after the day before , we got spoiled most of the fish were 18-20 inches no big ones just a lot of them . Sea devils and super spook juniors both did well . Water temp is up and down now in the low 70s , after about 3 hours of catching fish non stop i ask Tim if he wanted to go try for another big one he is like myself why leave when your catching fish every cast . After a great morning of catching trout we went looking for mud suckers ended up with one unlike the day before , but with a weather pattern we are in its tough . So after a great day of catching we came in to relax and had a great evening of talking about the last 2 days which in my books was very successful . Fishing with Tim is always a good time , i look forward to his next trip . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Monday, April 19, 2010

Today of course another front came in wind NNW 10-15 mph ,just enough to blow the water out some . As Tim and myself headed out in search of a big trout which is all he wanted we saw some deer crossing , i was not paying attention next thing i was raising the motor so it wouldnt drag through the mud and we were sitting in 2 inches of water . With no hope of getting it out i called a friend with an airboat to pull me out ,after a couple hours they showed up , just in time to see Tim land a 31 inch 9lb trout in the deepest water close to the boat which was 4 inches . Right before they got there we saw the trout swim by in front of us we thought it was a mud sucker but then realized it was a big trout , that is when Tim jump out and nailed him . After we got going again couldnt locate but a couple more trout , we did however nail the mud suckers . So after a good successful day of big trout and mud suckers went home and kicked back. What a day, if i had not seen it i would not have believe what happened , but i guess good things do come from bad things . Wow deer crossing big trout mud suckers what a day , its not just an exsperience its an adventure . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

The winds calmed quite a bit ESE 5-10 and for a short time went calm , went to one area maybe pick up a few mud suckers throwing top waters only caught a couple and some decent trout , ended up finding alot of trout in 3-5 ft water , Gary commented on how warm the water was later in the day upper 70s , Mike after a little while used some sea devils as they were working great for Chad, Gary stayed with his bass assassins . It was kind of slow in the morning but later in the day we kicked em good . After a day of catching good fish we headed home to talk about the day out, even though what we caught were mainly 19- 22 inch trout and 1 mud sucker those are great fighters this time of the year . Its hard to explain how much you can enjoy catching hundreds of trout in any one day and as i always like to teach everybody barbless is not that bad ,you dont loose fish like people think . You do however save a lot of fish through the day , sure hope this keeps up looking forward to a good hot fish catching summer . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Chad Gary and Mike woke up this morning to rain and wind , out of the east15+ mph. But with these east wind good color water is coming in with the high tides . Water temp still holding mid 70s . Started out a little slow but found the fish in 3-5 ft water depth . Once i located where those suckers where hiding those boys went to work on them they threw some top water but they had their best luck with bass assassin i of course threw sea devils . In the afternoon as the winds increased the bite got better , we didnt catch any big fish but our poles were bent a lot and that is what it is all about . We ended up with most of our fish in the 19-22.6 inch class which is good solid fish in anybodies book . Had a great time with guys that liked catching there limit many times over , by using barbless hooks most fish were released unharmed . So after a great day of catching we head home for a few cocktails and talking trash . Just another great day in paradise maybe tomorrow i will relocate the mud suckers . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN

Woke up to 25 mph winds out of the S ,once again another cold front approaching ,decided to reverse the day before on spots we tried , water bad color, stuck it out in 3-5ft depth , it paid off big time . Shortly after we got to first spot and waves breaking over our heads the old sea devils went to work it was non stop all morning long . We got our limits in one spot and caught and released a hundred plus trout . I found the water temp was about the same upper 60s low 70s Creg , Rex , & Ray had a hot hand , Alan struggled all morning maybe next time . We just could not do anything wrong the group had 3 fish under 19 inches on trout , i even played with top water could not get any takers . Ray caught the big mud suckers , all the rest of us could catch were small ones , but they were still fun . A little later went looking for some bigger ones and caught some 24 inch trout just couldnt connect on any more mud suckers . Had a great day on trout looking forward to continued warm weather , which looks like it is around the corner . Hope it holds for the group this week . GOOD DAY CAPT. KEN
