Ok, lets get this post started today- had an amazing breakast at Shoestring Farm (bed and breakfast for fisherman) and then off to the "Atlantic Ocean" Waves are solid 4 footers and building. We have caught a 3, 8 and a 12 so far.

No wind down here at big sam yet...weather man got it dead wrong so far.

8 a 5 and a 15... Just lost atleast a 30 at the boat.. Ughh
Fishing is WINDY but good!!

Just missed a really big bite on a huge shad head!!

Sounds like a good day already.
Still no electronics?

How are you two dressed to handle this wind? It is not that cold but chilly, this wind must make it brutal. I can dress for cold but the wind adds a twist to it.

Just caught a 5 and lost another (what seemed to be a huge monster) on a rod that Salsa set the clicker on... It screamed... I ran.. And it got off!!!

Academy's H2O suit and Michaels 100mph bass pro suit with layers. It's brutal wind but we are warm and having a blast. We are catching fish about every 2 to 4 minutes. I'm getting slime on my iPhone! Just caught 3 more blues with the biggest about 16.

No electronics whatsoever! Sure was weird driving across the lake not knowing the depth..

Been 5mins wihout a bite... Hmmmm sitting and watching!!

Just moved to spot #2

Caught two 5s and I missed another good one.. Michaels bringing in another one right now... Let's see.... It's a......,........... Another 5 pounder... Lots of box fish... Even tho were not keeping any today... Were in a good spot now hoping to catch some bigger ones...

I'm telling my wife what's going on with the play by play ...but I'm not telling her you guys don't have the electronics because I can here her now "see you don't need that fancy fish finder to catch "...its better ( for me ) if I leave that part out...ha!

5 and a 12

Michael said "that's smart"

Sounds like a fun day on the ocean. I am at work again today so keep it coming, just be careful.

Just got to spot #3

Thanks guys but please be careful out there!

I a looking ou my back window and I do not see you guys anywhere...

Nothing yet.......... One big bite.. But he didn't take it..

Ms. Salsa do you and Michael do any guiding for big blues? My wife really wants to catch some.

Charles

We are hidden by the HUGE WAVES... keep watching and we will pop up between waves like the buoys..

Michaels had his guide license for over ten years but rarely does it. I'll talk to him and see if he is interested. I LOVE to see the girls get out with their man and fish! We have so much fun and it's better than dinner and a movie anyday!!

Ok thank you! We would love to fish with you and Michael anyday.
She agrees with you about the dinner and a movie lol!

Charles

We didn't do any good at spot 3. We are about to attempt to go over the windiest part of the lake. Huge waves.. I admit I'm a lil nervous! Ok! If you don't see any more posts by me in a hour!! Call 911

Made it to Holiday Marina .. Omg what a ride that was! Gonna take a lunch break! Then out again

If you come by the caddo inlet area...

Spot 4..... Let's see what happens here.

Slow... Bite turned off.... About to move again...

Y'all are dedicated! One day when I grow up I want to be just like the Salsas. Stick it out and find that 70!

Wind is not bad behind my house right now... It is a long way from my dry cove to the water... Good luck u2

I love staying on the boat! Nothing like waking up to a screamin clicker! Hope ya brought your sleeping bags! I got a feelin your gonna catch a PIG tonight....GOODLUCK!

iPhone died! We are up and running now. Spot 5 and home for the night! Two sleeping bags and one pillow! I have a feeling it's gonna be a LONG night! Super excited and hoping the catch a BIG BLUE! I will keep y'all updated. We did catch a few 10 to 15 er's while my phone was dead.

Thanks!

Good luck tonight, you Slasa's always have great posts!

Ok I'm sitten out under the stars, just put on huge baits to keep the 10lbers off the hook. May be a while b4 a bite...

Gettin ready to eat a can of cambells think n chunky beef stew!

Hoping for a 50 or bigger between now and noon 2moro

So much for big bait is big fish, just caught a 14 on a huge 9" shad fillet

Quit using them little baits!!!! Put some meat on the hook!!!!

My aunt and uncle loved the sauce

You 2 will be sea sick for a month after an all nighter in this wind.We will be their chasin a fishoff fish aswell tomor.

Congrats!!! Being out in the cold doesn't make you sick.

I just mean motion sick ...After a single day trip in rough wind im all shaky for several hours so I can only imagine how they will be tomor.

Went thirty minutes without a bite and next bite was a 21 best one of the day so far

Omg HUGE one on! Michaels got the biggest fish of his life on now

Lets see

Broke him off half way in on thirty lb test.... He is heart broke.. Im gonna hand him a beer- ms. Salsa

Poor Michael, I'm drinking one for ya 2 bud....

Hope you got the fight and the aftermath on video!! I want to see the unedited version!!!! It sucks when that happens!!!!!!!

If it makes ya feel any better it was probably a big ol drum or soft-shell turtle!!!

I'm sorry Michael, maybe it will come back, good luck to yall!!!

Dang. I hate that

Teri all warm in her sleeping bag! Waiting on fish

You know we are all jealouse cause we ain't there, hope you dont have no trouble getting that 80#er in the boat!!!

Well looks like I got busted lol... it's a good thing I fixed her car today..Hahaha... sorry to hear about that CS. Looks like I might have to change my lines before I go to t wok.

Solid five footers out there today the photos don't do it justice

can you guys give me any tips on where to fish there i got a boat been the 4 times stay all day olny cought one fish please help

Sorry to hear about missing the big one. I hate that. I am on 39 hours at work straight right now so fishing sounds really good.

I have to ask. What kind of boat are you guys in?? Do you often fish in this kind of wind? Yawl are too tough!

It's slow... Cold and the wind picked up.

We fish out of a 24 ft console and yeah we don't mind fishing in the wind just as long as the fish are biting.

In tawk, cats are fairly easy to come by. My sure fire fishing when we take my grandfather out, is to put in at holiday, and run to the spillway. Pull 20 feet off the spillway, anywhere along the rocks really, and drop some chicken livers. I used a cork friday to keep it drifting near the rocks, about 6 feet down, worked great.

So...whadup

I think Catfish sleep at night- so am I - ms. Salsa

Wake Up !!

Ms. Salsa, if Michael gets another fish on that you don't think he can handle, just reach up there and cut his line, no need to put that kind of stress on the poor feller!!!

+1

Well... Here's the totals from our overnight stay on the best catfishing lake around! Not to mention out favorite place to fish! Ok... Michael lost the big one around 730pm.. After that.... We didn't not even get a bite all night!!! And just FYI Michaels phone is dead .. So he can't receive text... Which is probably driving nuts.. Oh and did I see it was Larry"s Birthday??? Happy Birthday to our dear friend... ( we are still fishing... Just got our first bite)

Good Luck Today!

Thanks for keeping us up to date Teri!

Michael jus caught the first fish of the day... It was a one pounder.. With that said we are loading the boat on the trailer and headed back home! Had a blast!

They can't all be barn burners. Glad y'all had fun.

kudos to you both - i know how those all nighters/weekenders can go...but the quality time is absolutely worth it. get some rest and get at it again soon. we hope to be in the area some time next week.

Thank You Ms. Teri for the Happy Birthday, I was really glad to be able to have another one, even got out on the lake and caught a few fish today, had a great time, hope yall get rested up, it's only 4 days left then it's Friday again, my son and I are planning on going to Tawokoni next Sunday, hope to see yall there!!!

Good Luck to Ya!!!

whew...what a few crazy days on the water. I can't vouch for the other lakes, but the Gulf of Tawakoni was rock'in! Down by the two mile bridge I saw some solid 6ft'ers...large enough waves that we would lose sight of the horizon when we would go down in the trough of the wave. Crazy!

Fish bit really good on Sat. One of the best "teenage" bites i've been on. Don't know what the deal was but I could find small fish and I couldent find big fish. Plus, you only had about 3 or 4 places you could fish on the lake. That lake leaves almost no where to fish on a storng south wind.

As yall already know, I lost a good'en sat night at 7:45p.m....i'm still not talking about it as i'm in denial. It was MY fault. I coulden't turn the fish to get him in the net so I cranked the drag a 1/4 turn to turn his head and when I did he made one more run and there he/she went...I was sick. Not even going to try and guess the weight...but, by far the largest fish that WOULD have been landed on my boat.

After that, NOT one bite all night. Had baits in the water from 8p.m to 6am...and they were never touched. Sunday the fish were just off...so, we got the boat on the trailer and headed back to the metromess.

Shad are moving deeper now. I would tell you what the water temp was, but, I don't have my sonar right now...it's on it's way to Alabama to get fixed. Running the lake without knowing the depth was all too weird.

btw, the play by play was Ms. Salsa's idea...which now looking back was a pretty cool idea. My blackberry just dosn't do the things an ifone does.

I'm in the market for a 4GS ifone Verizon platform if anyone has connections...

Thanks for the update..

Thanks Salsa.

After saturday I have a few things to get fixed b4 going back out.

I usally have one bad trip a year or season. I think it was this sat. I hope so any ways.

we still caught fish just nothing over 6 lbs.

hey bro...keep your truck on the road and your boat in the water and OFF the roads.

Was at the Apple store today and they had a bunch of them.

.


LOL. It snuck up on me pretty quick.



we were on belton back a few weeks back and thank god we slowed up...but ran up onto a broken up concrete bridge. Nicked up the fiberglass a bit...but no holes.

I've resloved my boat is strictly a fishing boat, nothing pretty anymore.

Im convinced when catfishing a dirty boat and scratches. Its going happen.

Im just glad it wasnt. 25 degrees out side. Since i had to get wet and push my self off. Scared my son a little bit but he handled it like trooper.

Somehow in my anguish last night, this made me laugh.

Just trying to help Bud!!!

Are you thinking that if you had left the drag where it was she wouldn't have broke off?
Just trying to learn here.
I bet its hard to be patient when its that close to the boat.
I hope to have that problem soon.

Yeah, no excuses to break off 30# mono in open water. I had 200 yards of line on the abu 6500 and he could have taken all he wanted. I got greedy and didn't play him out. I should have not cranked down on the drag and woud have been fine. He would have made a few more runs then would have tired out on me. By tightening the drag I was trying to turn his head around so Teri could net him. When I did that, he made another run and when he ran, the drag was tighter and it broke the line. If the drag would have been set correctly, the drag would have slipped a little and not broke the line.

It's MY fault!

either Miss Terri needs to grow longer arms or you need a longer handled net!!! problem solved!!!

He was 4 turns from the boat...just out of reach but well within site. He will be the "one that got away..."

yes, for those wondering I am swithing over to braid. I'm going to the dark side.

Thanks Micheal---

I felt that coming! Great report. Thanks guys.

Sounds like yall had fun!

i've got a cool video clip of running the lake in the 5ft swells...when I get home I will load it to youtube.

After getting caught in a storm this summer in 9ft seas 40 miles off shore in my boat, Tawok's 5ft'ers aren't too bad.

Not too many stumps 9 miles offshore. A five foot drop onto a stout stump might do your boat in. Granted my experiences are coming from much smaller boats, but getting stuck on a stump in heavy wind isn't fun. Glad you two made home safe.

5ft waves, 2500lb boat coming down onto a solid oak tree stump = disaster. And, fire and rescue isn't up to par at Tawakoni...they were putting in to rescue 3 stranded fishermen on friday and there battery was dead at ramp.

sounds like you all had a good time.. stay safe...

Ya'll are nuts being out in that. I didn't even want to bank fish in those winds.
As for the one that got away, we all have those. I have several. That's just fishin'. Learn a little and go take another shot at it.
