Fished the Nueces River a few days ago and made a return trip today. This is the first trip posting. I fished from 9am till 3pm and the bite was good. The scenery was great and the water was "CRYSTAL CLEAR" with a good current. Caught a bunch of Longear,some nice healthy bass,several nice Tilapia,and a few small Bluegill rounded out the catch. Caught about 50 fish total. All were released to fight again with the exception of the Tilapia which were released to the grease. Fish were holding close to the banks and by grass beds. Fish were in 2 to 5 feet of water. Worms were the bait of choice and both float and bottom techniques were used. After a day on the Nueces I stopped at the Jack In The Box located in beautiful down town Uvalde for a quick snack before I headed home. A great day fishing in the hills of Texas. It just don't get any better.

Beautiful scenery Chuck

Thanks Robert! Great seeing you and Joe Ed the other day on Dunlap! It just don't get any better.

Wow, that is crystal clear water. Great pictures

Did you make your way down to the Rio spot?

Thanks Jamie for the reply! I found a Rio spot with plenty of Hybrilla. I don't know if that was the spot the local was telling me about. I managed a trophy Rio and a bunch of em in the 8" range. I saw some bigger ones but I guess they did not want to play. Will be posting another story on that trip which I completed over the last two days.

Beautiful water, Chuck. You sure have some nice fishing spots!

Bob

Thanks Bob for the reply! Yes Sir there are some very nice places that are really not that far.



Side Note: Hopefully you can make it down this way and we can fish a few of these spots.

Nice Pics, thx!!

Banker...you da man!!!

Never saw water that clear

WOW. Little piece of heaven right there.

Looks like enough water to put a kayak in too

Beautiful scenery and fish!

Thanks "Hunter498","A.J.",Andrew,and Peyton,for the replies. One very nice river in Southwest Texas for sure. Andrew: Yes Sir you can put in a Kayak for sure.



NOTE; IMAGE SHACK SERVER HAD CRASHED CAUSING THE PHOTOS IN THE POST TO BE REMOVED!

WOW! That is some very clear water on that river! Great photos and some super fish! I have never fished the Nueces River. How would it be for Kayak fishing. Also did you wade fish?

Thanks Curtis for the reply. A kayak would be good right now. The river in that part has been full all year due to the good rain. During dry spells I have been told by kayak anglers that you do a lot of walking between pools of water!



Re posted pictures. (Due to Image Shack Server Crash).

Love those crystal clear water pictures. Looks like an awesome place to fish. Nice fish Chuck. Good job as always.




Side Note: Big difference in both water and river scenery in that part. Where we fish the Nueces for white bass the water is usually muddy or stained. Love that river.
