Fished three local spots yesterday and all three paid off. I fished the same three spots last week and almost got skunked. What a difference a week makes. Fished from 10am till 2pm and caught around 50 fish. Most of em were the perfect eating size,7 to 8 inch range,and fat. I also caught a nice Redbreast showing off it's spring colors. The fish was a little over 10 inches. Fish were caught in 7 to 10 feet of water holding by either grass beds or structure. Worms using bottom techniques was the bait of choice. Water bodies were all in great shape with good current. Water mostly was clear.All fish were released. If I did not have a mess of trout to eat,I would have taken home a few. After a day fishing I stopped at the Pica Taco in downtown Mcqueeney for a fantastic lunch. Getting into some some nice sunnies and eating at the Pica Taco. It just don't get any better.

Man Chuck that's a giant Redbreast, nice work!

Great Redbreast Chuck

The bluegill have been on fire in the creeks. Lake Somerville has had an explosion of small fish after the flood. I have been white bass fishing with my fly rod and can't hardly get the bait to the white bass without a small bluegill or crappie taking it first. I also caught my first Rock bass a couple weeks ago, and was told of a trophy Rock bass being caught in the same location a week later. I can guarantee one thing, it won't be the last Rock bass I catch, LOL!!

I tried the ponds last night and the bite was dead. I only caught 2. I was really surprised it wasn't on fire after these warm nights. It must have been something else shutting them down.

Thanks Bryan and Jamie for the replies. Bryan: Will be getting you some more work soon! Jamie: I fished a couple of ponds last week and it was very slow also. The water was pretty cold. Managed a couple of small bass. The sunfish bite was super good yesterday on the rivers. Got a feeling it will be picking up.



Side Note: Been busy chasing Trout,White Bass,and Crappie!

Very encouraging post Chuck !

Glad you guys had some luck. That redbreast is a stunner !

Thanks Lets Go,Doc,and palomar for the replies. Doc: Sunfish bite has picked up now that we have had consistent days of warm weather. We should have a GREAT spring,summer,and fall!

Thats an awesome Redbreast!

Thanks Andrew! Will not be long until the Sunfish will be showing off their Spring colors.

Yes Sir, looking forward to catching those sunnies again and posting reports!

Thanks Ruffneck2000 for the reply! Andrew: Yes Sir we need more reports in this section for sure. You can tell it is the slow time of the year for the Bluegill section.

Nice Redbreast Chuck. Redbreast and Bluegill are a great combination.



Side Note: Will not be long before those March/April Redbreast and Longear will be showing off their colors.

Thanks Curtis for the reply. I have already caught some beautiful Longear and a couple of Redbreast that had some super colors. Late March and April should be awesome months.




Side Note: Crappie Spawn very near!
