Paluxy River, Big Rocks

The old town cryer says it,

The inveterate liar says it

The pilchard, the bream And the trout in the stream

Babe, I´m on fire

Babe, I´m on fire

Hit me up, baby, and knock me down

Drop what you´re doing and come around

We can hold hands till the sun goes down

Cause I know

That you

And I

Can be Together

Cause I love you

No moon on the water...

Last night the Mrs. and I did some fishing. Caught quite a few but they were scattered and turned off like a light switch around 7:45.

Little sand bass, not something I catch everyday...

Blame it on the Rain....

Got a little rain last night, fishign should be good for th next couple days. Last night I did some fishing at an undisclosed location.... Saw quite a few gar and buffalo, but only caught some sunfish and a cat.

This weekend I will be heading back to Six-O and the Paluxy, or possibly the Brazos.

Cheers!

Making Plans.

Recently I have become infatuated with the idea of re-exploring some creeks that I grew up playing in. Until the time I was 16, I lived in Duncanville, a bedroom community south of Dallas. My neighborhood was sandwiched between arms of 10 Mile Creek and I spent a good amount of my time down in the creek, scrambling over the limestone, collecting fossils, minerals and the different turtles I could catch down there.

With Austin telling me about White Rock, I am now totally stoked on the idea of exploring some of the creeks of southern DFW.

I'll make sure to take lots of pics!

Also, I will be heading to Uvalde in October, so I will probably be fishing the Nueces, Frio, Medina or Sabinal again....

Weekend re-cap!

Busy weekend, with an even busier week to follow!

here goes....

Saturday I went fishing around 6 in the morning at my new place on the Trinity. I was hoping for a shot at some gar, buffs, or carp. I was not denied this time!

Even managed a nice Long ear, but not carp!

After that I headed to Whiterock Creek where I hooked up with the skinniest bass in the world...

and a nice hybrid between a long ear and green sunfish...

Around 2pm, Emalie and I hooked up with the family for my fathers birthday party; Lunch at the Flying Fish. I had the worlds best craw fish gumbo and a basket of frog legs!

I woke up at 4am on Sunday, packed up the FJ and then headed south to pick up my friend Tom. Tom is the president of the Texas Historical Foundation, of which I am a board member. I took Tom the "trout bum" bream fishing at Six-O-Ranch, and 20 something coppernose later I think I have him hooked!

Fishing slowed down around 9:30, so Tom being a good sport accompanied me to the Paluxy where we had plenty of shots at some very spooky bass, and where tom managed the biggest fish of the day...

I didn't do so bad either....

I'm out!!
