Nice going Chuck & Mike!
Redbreast are a really cool fish, love how they look.
I have only caught a few and never one in Dallas, but all were on topwater with a fly. They were in pure attack mode and boiled as soon as the fly hit the water. Awesome
Don't worry about the mule, just load the cart

Thanks Andrew. You are going to have to make some time and come down here a get a few. Looks like a SUPER spring and summer is ahead of us! The Sunfish will really be showing off their colors the next few weeks.

What kind of small jigs did you use if you don't mind me asking. I generally break out my fly rod to target gills and I've managed a few on small cranks but rarely throw jigs.

"FWBanger" We were using the Berkley Micros and the Strike King Crappie Thunders 1 3/4". Blue white for the micros and Chartreuse/black for the Crappie Thunders. Both worked like champs.

Great job guys!!! I've never fished for them with small jigs. I bet that's fun. Add another fishing hole to my list of places you have to take me, LOL!!
I fly fished today. Only caught one hybrid sunfish. But I caught 9 bass. The small bass started biting a few days ago and they kept biting right through the cold front. That's a great sign and I expect the sunfish will be following suit within a week or so.

And that's how you do it! Did the scouting trip turn up blank?

Thanks Jamie and CK for the replies! Jamie: The Sunfish bite will be getting better each day. Looks like a GREAT YEAR is shaping up! All of my fishing spots are looking good. CK: The scouting trip was good in that we found some good spots for some shallow Crappie Fishing during their spawn. It was to cold that day for the fish to be in shallow water! To answer your question we did not catch a fish. The Salado Creek came through for us!

Great going y'all! I especially like those Redbreast, I need to get out to the Hill Country this year and catch some. I hope to finally do some fishing just by me on Friday.

Did you know that Redbreast arent restricted to the Hill Country? I used to think they were I had never caught one, only knew of them, until I caught some last year from some creeks out East. What city do you live in?

I have caught them in Montgomery County and San Jacinto County so far. I freaked out the first time I caught one since I had only heard of them and saw pictures online lol. I caught a 9 and a half incher too, blew my mind. I just read about Wheeler Branch this week. Never knew of it. I plan on trying to fish that lake to catch Walley because TPWD stocks it with them every year and Ive never caught any since there are such few places to catch them in Texas.
