Fished a Hill Country River and found a bunch of HUNGRY Warmouth! The bite was solid from 9am till 11am. Caught a bunch in the 8 inch range and all of them going over a half pound. The fish were fat and full of fight. All fish were caught using worms with a bottom technique. Fish were holding by thick grass beds next to drop offs. Rounding out the catch were a couple of nice Bluegill and some small bass. I had a nice bass about 4 to 5 pounds spit a hook after a short fight. All fish were released. Some GREAT hill country river fishing and catching some nice Warmouth. It just don't get any better! fish

Thanks Fishwfly for the reply. Warmouth and just about every other sunfish seem to be really active in just about all the water bodies. We are going to have one heck of a fall bite. hooked

Why are folks scared to name the body of water where they caught there fish?

I like to fish creeks, rivers, streams, branches, etc. I am up here in Killeen, Texas and I don't mind telling you what creeks, streams, rivers I fish. Table Rock Creek, Cowhouse Creek, Onion Creek, Lampasas River and I don't mind telling you where I catch 10" plus green perch & bluegill & 12" redear - just ask. Tell me the name of the "Hill Country River" you fish. Don't be scared to name the river, stream, creek, lake, pond or ditch where you caught the fish. I seriously doubt anyone would or could find your spot because you named the river. I'm not greedy - let's share the wealth. And YES I know there is a thread that that does that.

I fish everyday. I need some new water. I don't want to know your secret spots/honey holes but heck at least share the name the water body that fish was caught.

You can probably send a PM and get that info. Some places can't handle the fishing pressure like some others can. Not only that, but if you go back to your creek or river and see trash on the banks and keep hooking cast nets and discarded lines, you'll think twice about what you'll post on an open forum.

Nice haul, Chuck. When the warmouths start moving around, you know fall is on its way.


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

Thanks Fishmeister54,Doc,and Jagg for the replies. cheers Fishmeister54: Jagg is 100 percent right on the money. Not all bank anglers "TRASH"a place but there are some that do. I was fishing a very nice place on the Medina River(public) for years and noticed a lot of left over trash was being left behind. The county owned the property. I went back to that spot this year and it was all fenced in with No Trespassing signs. A person who lives close by told me the county got tired of picking up trash every day from that area and decided to close it down. Over the years I have seen numerous places I have fished getting abused by irresponsible people and I have decided not to include some water bodies where I fish no matter how large or small they are. As Jagg stated you can send me a PM and I would be more than glad to share some information with you! thumb Doc: Best Warmouth bite I have had in years. hooked Caught a bunch! cheers

* People trash the place. They closed the Somerville spillway this year to keep people out. Just ridiculous how people treat the world as their trash can

* Fishing pressure, the stories on here are also on Facebook and other places. Surprising how wide spread the message is.

* Backlash from other people, I have a friend that has had his lug nuts loosened on his boat trailer.

I am personally somewhere in the middle and with time have slid more away from promoting our parks and water bodies to protecting them. We use the PM system. If you contribute and share then we will do the same.

So you can expect a PM from me. I like catching 10" green sunfish, 10" Bluegill and 12 inch Redear grin

That looks like what my Dad called goggle eye perch. Are they the same thing? They are very fun to catch and strong fighters.

Warmouth and Rock bass are actually two unique species identified by TPW. But you are correct, lots of people call them the same thing. I have only caught one Rock bass and did a poor job of taking the picture of it. It was clearly different from the Warmouth I've caught before. I've caught at least 3 unique color patterns of Warmouth.

Thanks Curtis and Clayton for the replies. cheers Curtis: My PB Warmouth was caught on the Salado Creek. It was almost 9" in length. I lost a HUGE one while fishing the Guadalupe River in the Kerrville area several years ago. It got off right at the boat. bang

I figured it was on the Salado! That used to me on pretty place to fish. Is it still? Have not seen any reports from the Salado in a very long time.

The Salado is not the fishery that it once was! Several sewage spills over the last several years have done it's damage on parts of that creek! taz

Beautiful fish Chuck! Love those gold colors. How would you rate the Warmouth bite this year. Do Warmouth prefer shallow or deeper water? Again nice fish.
