Catfish always look funny to me, especially when they are on a stringer with other fish. The crappie all look startled to be on the stringer but the catfish looks stoned and without a care in the world. Nice catch!

Fished some creek channels on Mcqueeney yesterday and did good. Boated a limit and kept a few for dinner. Fish were caught in 2 to 4 feet of water by over hanging tree limbs close to the bank. Red/Green Crappie Magnets were the bait of choice.
Side Note: Great meeting you Kevin. Glad you got on em as well.

Yes Sir the SPAWN IS ON in the Guadalupe River for sure. Thanks guys for the updates on your catches. Hope everyone is getting some. Also the Crappie bite is ON FIRE at Choke Canyon,Canyon Lake, and Lake Falcon in deep south Texas!

Canyon Lake...on fire??? Those are words you don't hear in the same sentence very often.
How come I keep catching small fish when every product I buy is supposed to catch more and bigger fish?

Also there are several very good spots by the bridge. One factor to take in consideration we had a front come through and that usually slows down the bite for a couple of days. That has been my experience.

Weather changes have really messed up the bite all year long.  Several friends of mine did not do that well fishing Friday.  The bite should be pretty good this weekend.  Side Note: Chances of some needed RAIN next week. Hope we get some.

Found a few on the guad myself today. Started off catching several small bass on jigs. Maybe I just wasn't trying hard enough or working the right areas, but most of the crappie came off a single spot. Then as the crappie were shutting down, a group of small blues came through and snacked on some of my minnows. I guess they thought they were crappie, so to avoid such bad genetics in the river I decided I better take them home as well. Ended with 4 kitties and 13 crappie, minnows and jigs. 
No fish is too good for the grease.

The part between Spring Branch and Cuero Damn. That's an awfully long distance to cover in a single trip! How did you portage around all of the dams?  It's a shame that they don't name the large bodies of water that pool up behind the dams of a river. You'd think that would make it more convenient to relate locations to other people
