2 Waterbodies and 2 new Water Body Records

I loaded up the kayak and fly rods and headed out to Dunlap this morning. Got a late start and didn't leave home until 4:30 AM I got there around 6:45 and headed to one of Chuck's secret spots. Fishing was good and I caught lots of bluegill, redbreast, greenies and longear. As always, a few small bass mixed in as well. But the prize of the morning was a new lake record Warmouth. It was 8.75 inches long and weighed 0.62 lbs.

I left Dunlap and headed over to Chuck's house to get it weighed. Then I headed out to Cibolo creek to fish one of Clayton's secret spots. I fished my way down to the spot catching lots of sunfish, bluegill and bass. When I got to the spot it didn't disappoint. I caught 3 redbreast that were over 10 inches long. I strung up the first one I caught and headed back to Chuck's to get it weighed. It was 10 inches and weighed 0.77 lbs.

Thanks Chuck for pointing me in the right direction, weighing my fish and providing me with enough gatoraide to get me through the day. Thanks to Clayton as well for putting me on some monster fish. You guys are the best.

The 10 inch redbreast represents my 9th different trophy species / big fish award that I have caught on the fly rod. I caught the warmouth on a Llano bug and the redbreast on a rubber legged dragon.

PS: I also got my Cibolo Creek fly rod record back Catyaker. Tag, you're it

CONGRATULATIONS JAMIE!




Four water body RECORDS on two water bodies that are hard to place on! Both weight records for Rod/reel and fly rod categories! Both your fish were SOLID! Good Job.



Side Note: Gotta a feeling that both the Wildman of the Navidad and Catyakker will be on "Record Watch"!

glad you got on em and left a record open lol congratulations Jamie

Congrats Jamie, y'all are having a great year! So many records

Congrats J-Moe!

Nice fish J-Moe and congratulations on your four new records! You Sir are on a record role!



Side Note: Witch do you fish from most? Kayak,boat,or bank? Again congrats on your new records.

Congrats on the records.

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate the nice words.

Gitter Done, I fish for sunfish out of the kayak most of the time. I prefer to bank or wade fish but I just can't get to the best spots or cover much water without the kayak. Same for crappie and largemouth bass. On the other hand I catch white bass about 90 percent of the time from the bank or wading.

Congratulations J-Moe. You are a real record buster. "PS: I also got my Cibolo Creek fly rod record back Catyaker. Tag, you're it grin".
Well even though I am in the Autumn of my years. I may have a few more left. Gives me something to try for. For that I am truly grateful.

I am pretty sure that the both of you will be getting your share of record fish for years to come!

Thanks! Judging by most of your post you do find the BIG FISH!

Congratulations J-Moe on your record fish. Those are some nice ones. What color fly's got the best results on Dunlap and the Cibolo Creek? Again congrats on catching two very nice fish.

Thanks GD, Catyakker and Laker One

Laker, I was catching most of the fish on a black / chartreuse rubber legged dragon on Cibolo and a crawfish colored rubber legged dragon on Dunlap. As always, the yellow Llano bug also worked well.

Black/Chartreuse and Brown are the colors that get the best results on Dunlap and Mcqueeney! I also have a Ladybug Fly for both top water and sinking. During the early spring and fall I get pretty good results with it both fishing it on top and sinking it. Red/Yellow,Red/Black,Red/White,and just Red all get good results. It's funny during the summer and winter months I can't buy a bite using the Ladybug!

Very interesting, I don't ever use red on my flies. I guess I need to tie up some flies with red in them for the Spring and Fall. Thanks for the information.

Hey Jamie, are you trying to get more records than me???? What's up with that!!!!! I may have to come down there and break your rods as well as your arms and legs!!! Just kidding, keep up the great work bro!! I guess you're going to have to come fishing up here in order to break most of my state records, I'll even show you where I caught them.

Congrats on your new records J-Moe

Ha ha ha, I've already broke 2 of your private water body state records so I was feeling sorry for you. Now I know where to focus my efforts.

Thank you sir

Thanks gar1970.

Don't feel bad Jamie has broken 4 of mine this past month! I wish he would switch to saltwater fishing!

I don't feel bad at all, I'm very happy for him. Records a great hobby and I hope he gets plenty more. It doesn't bother me in the least when he breaks my records, I'd rather he do it than someone else.

You should do well! Also throw a Brown Salamander (sinking).

Thanks Laker, I couldn't find a sinking lady bug fly so I had to make one up from a deer hair beetle pattern. I researched the brown salamander patterns and they are all really big. I'll have to come up with something for this pattern too.

Congratulations on the fish and records

Thanks Champion Fish
