Fished a South Texas River the other day and found a spot that was holding some very nice Redbreast. Caught about twenty fish in an hour. All the fish were in the 8 and 9 inch range. Fish were healthy,fat,and full of fight. Fish were holding in about 4 feet of water next to grass beds. All fish were caught on live worms using both float and bottom techniques. The water was stained due to recent rains and the river was in GREAT shape. All fish were released to fight again. Catching some nice South Texas Redbreast. It just don't get any better! fish

Nice fish and place

Whew!

You catch some of the best looking fish on some of the best looking bodies of water! That's a hard-to-beat combination.

Nice fish Chuck! Good job.




Side Note: Have not seen any reports form the Comal River. Usually those spring Redbreast Comal River catches are being posted by now? What's up?
