Myself and Robert "Dafanman" did some inner city fishing today. We started at the San Antonio River and fished from 9am till 12:30pm. The bite was fair. Managed to get into some nice Redbreast in the 8 to 9 inch range and we nailed ten of em. We also caught a few small Red Spotted and several small Longear. We broke for lunch at the area Jim's Coffee Shop. Love those Frontier Burgers! We then finished up at the Salado Creek. The fishing there was good. Saw a lot of Rios guarding nest and managed to catch only two of em. The Rios were in the 7 to 8 inch range. We also caught several Bluegills in the 6 to 7 inch range, a bunch of Longear in the 5 inch range, three Warmouth in the 6 to 7 inch range, A 12 inch bass, and two small Greens rounded out the day. All fish were healthy and in good condition. The water on both bodies of water was clear with good current. All fish were caught on worms using drop shot method and bottom techniques. All fish were released to fight again. Good times with a good friend. That is what fishing is all about.

Nice report chuck thanks for sharing.

I was hoping to catch a few Rios myself, at least you got a few!

Thanks "Tun3R"! Did not see any Carp. We usually see a couple of huge ones in both the SA River and the Salado. We did see several large Channels but they would not bite.

Did you tried fishing around backenridge ? I have seen some huge rios around their guarding their nest . I was lucky enough to hook a big one few months back. I will probbably try fishing there one of these days for carps as well .

We went to Brackenridge and did not see any fish. I talked with a park employee and he said there was a big fish kill about a month ago due to all of the run off hitting the river at one time. I did not know what he meant by that other than a lot of fish had died off. I checked out several spots inside the park and did not see one fish.

Wow and there's no news at all about such incident ! We seriously need some good outdoor news networks to cover updates around San Antonio rivers/lakes and fishery .

The place was loaded with nice carps/gills/tilapias & let's not forget huge bass . I have seen folks pulling out 6pound bass off those lily pads.

Go figure about there not being any news. Any way in given time the fish will make a strong come back. It's funny just outside the park I saw a lot of fish including several nice Bass!

Me and Mike were hoping for some Redear! Looks like you got a few of em also. Give the Rios some time. A lot of em are still guarding nest and are not biting!

One of these days most likely sunday i will fish that area. About to head to Calaveras lake hopefully we will catch some gills i know my buddy did castnetted some real fat gills on shore few weeks back ! He brought them home as well just cause they were fat like those tilapias.

I had a great time fishing with you today Chuck.. thank you for everything

We really enjoyed the overcast skies as it never really got unbearably hot

As Banker said we saw a bruiser of a channel cat that just could not be enticed to strike

Great friend, great fishing and great burger
