Sounds like I'm not missing much. It's usually me and my wife. We normally go as far as we can, pull the boat even further over the sand bars, and go till we can't hear voices or music any more. Usually 4 hours of portaging and 2 hours of fishing. Hate that people have to be so rude. Hope the wardens check a few of the hoodlums.


Good Fishing!

I'm more than OK with that!
clap

As for the crowds, I'm afraid they aren't going to go away unless the river goes down like it's been doing the last several years, and this year is crowded because the river is higher than it's been in years, but I'm sure you know that.
I used to think it got crowded down there before the days of the internet and I can remember a lot of days when I could count on one hand the number of boats I saw on the river during the peak of the run.....Oh how I miss those days! cry


I hear you loud and clear on that one! it's like Lake Havasu, or the Sandbar at Islamorada these days....LOL!

was going to go to the river this weekend, but think I'll just stay down here on the coast, dump the big skiff, and go chase some black drum and trout....they're schooling in the channels with the low water...

y'all tear them up and please continue to report back when you get up there!

Fished the Nueces again today... South of 59 marking fish. Trolled some crank baits and nailed them.. Easy 2 man limit.. Casting sassy shad in a couple bends landed several more.. Saw another boat who went further south, came back with 100 fish for a 4 man limit.. It's on down south!

Im good friends with Rob- He called me after his experience -that Monday- while fishing with his Dad. As I mentioned in a earlier report: Ive been busy getting my mom set up for care in a Nursing home and hav'nt been able to make a trip this season. Was gonna go get my John Boat (Stump Jumper) at the ranch and go visit the river as Ive done for the past 30 years in mid Feb. ! But after these reports and all the craziness eeks Im thinking of letting ol Stump Jumper sit this one out!! But Yes Jimbo !! I can remember the good ol days when the river was less crowded and everyone was more Respectful ! frown


My stringer is getting there!!

went Saturday...put in at Airport and went north to the shoals....there were a few boats, but we made our way up from them....fishing was still pretty good, almost got a three man limit, but we got a late start....only two females, and they still hadn't fully hydrated their eggs...

no guides this trip, maybe they were south...first trip we haven't towed someone back in....people were playing very nicely together this trip...good times!

Its over. 2 men went out on sunday, only caught not even 20. Not many females either. Don't even bother anymore. More hassle dealing with boaters than catching fish.

Big full moon and warm temps over weekend may have done it.
