What a day on Lake Travis! Myself,Bob(Bob Landry) and Mike (USMC GY),fished Lake Travis and the Bluegill bite was GREAT! We fished out of Bob's boat who met Mike and I at the boat ramp. We fished from 9:30am till 2:00pm. The day was perfect. Mild temperatures and a slight southerly breeze with blue skies. We started fishing inside some coves by some sunken timber and by some rock ledges. The bite was slow. We also tried some dock slips with no luck. We then fished by some docks in 20 to 25 feet of water and we hit "PAY DIRT"! We found a bunch of nice Bluegill and the action was non stop for about two hours. We boated about 50 fish and kept a Play Mate full for the frying pan. A couple of small bass and Hybrid Sunfish rounded out the catch. The bite stopped at 1:30pm.Fish were caught using worms with a bottom technique. Lake Travis is a beautiful lake and is in great shape. Should be a great place to catch some nice gills. Fishing a GREAT lake with two GOOD friends. It just don't get any better! fish

Nice report! Nothing better than good company and great fishing.

On a side note, looks like you and Bob could be brothers.

Good job, gang! cheers

Whenever I see really light colored 'fills like that (we call them honeydew 'gills) it always makes me smile and think how much they will change in color and body structure in a month or two.


Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless His Holy Name!
