Anniversary weekend

We celebrated our 26th anniversary by going camping and fishing on the nueces river. It is one we will never forget! What can I say? The fish just cooperated. We caught over 150 fish perch crappie and bass all on hand tied jigs made by my buddy shane "abbott" his screen name on the tff.
Most fish were holding close to cover in 16-21fow. 1/8 Black and chartreuse jig and black and pink jig were what they wanted.










I thank God for blessing me with such a beautiful wife and fishing partner. I pray that the next 26yrs be just as good. I know she will read this post and I want to say I love you yesenia with every fiber of my being.

I guess since theres more crappie than anything i should have posted in the crappie section but i feel more at home in the bluegill section.

Congratulations on your 26th Anniversary! Leo it just don't get any BETTER!




Side Note: Super Fish and Post! You are living the dream!

Thank you chuck

Great POST Gar 1970 and Congratulations on your BIG 26th Wedding Anniversary. "Lifetime Fishing Pal's" and more.



Side Note: Have you ever caught Crappie on the rivers in the area where you live?

Thank you laker one for the reply!
Sadly there are no crappie this far north on the nueces. We drive 90mi one way just to fish for them

I was wondering about that! Thanks Leo for the info! I guess the area does not fit the criteria for a crappie habitat.

Thanks! A trip well worth it. Again Congrats on the 26th Anniversary!

SNOW ALERT! Hey Leo good friend of mine living in Brackettville says there is over an inch of snow on the ground and that it's still snowing. Let's see some pictures if you have snow.

Beautiful pictures. That is one site you do not see that often in Southwest Texas! Especially in early December!

How often do you get snow there where you live? Great pictures.

it has snowed 4 times in the 15yrs I've lived here

Thanks again. Beautiful part of the State for sure! Had a great time kayaking the Canyon last spring. Hope to do it again this upcoming spring.


Side Note: It all depends on work.

Great post and Congratulations on your 26th Anniversary. Wife,lifetime fishing pal,lifetime friend,and most important of all lifetime soul mate!



Side Note: Solid fish,great job to the both of you! Were you close to Choke Canyon?

Thanx for the reply laker one and Gitter Done!... Laker what part of the canyon did you kayak?
Gitter, we were fishing by crystal city on the nueces. Choke is about 80mi east

Happy for you two. Most excellent that y'all enjoy time on the water together. So many beautiful places out there to recreation and fish. Looking forward to future briefings.

Thanks gar 1970 for the reply! I have fished the Nueces a lot over the years chasing the White Bass around Three Rivers and George West! Have you ever fished the White Bass Run?

Thank you fitz for the reply we are happiest on the water

We fish the pecos river for the white bass run as it is closer to us

Never fished the Pecos! Maybe one of these days I will get the chance! Again super post and looking forward to seeing your 27th Anniversary post!
