A Redbreast Honey Hole!

Fished a South Texas River the other day and found a spot that was holding some very nice Redbreast. Caught about twenty fish in an hour. All the fish were in the 8 and 9 inch range. Fish were healthy,fat,and full of fight. Fish were holding in about 4 feet of water next to grass beds. All fish were caught on live worms using both float and bottom techniques. The water was stained due to recent rains and the river was in GREAT shape. All fish were released to fight again. Catching some nice South Texas Redbreast. It just don't get any better!

Super looking place. Congrats on find and fantastic catching.

Thanks SlowDown for the reply! With the good rainfall that the area has gotten over the last two years this year is going to be GREAT! Lot's of very active fish in South Texas!

Great post, Chuck! We're lucky to have so many scenic places to fish in this part of the world.

Thanks Will for the reply! We are very blessed living in a State that produces some super nice fish!

Nice fish Chuck!!

Thanks Alan for the reply! Hopefully you can make it make down for another trip to the canyon!

Nice fish and place

Thanks Clayton for the reply! I am heading to the Sabinal!

Whew!

You catch some of the best looking fish on some of the best looking bodies of water! That's a hard-to-beat combination.

Brad

that is a beautiful area just to be there is breath taking not to mention the quality of fish

That an awesome looking spot Banker. I'll be down South in June, hopefully we can meet up.

Will be on the lookout for fish to put in my tank!

Good to see the redbreasts making an appearance!!

Thanks Brad,slabcrazy,Andrew,and jagg for the replies! So far this year the Redbreast have been very active. Have caught a bunch! Andrew. Just let me know some dates. Would love to see a "Master" Fly Angler at work!

Nice fish Chuck! Good job.




Side Note: Have not seen any reports form the Comal River. Usually those spring Redbreast Comal River catches are being posted by now? What's up?

Thanks Gitter for the reply! I have not fished the Comal River much so far this year. The times I have I did not do all that well. My favorite spot and at one time was a GREAT Rio hole is being remodeled by the City of New Braunfels. They are putting "green belts" along the river. Hopefully things will improve as far as the fishing goes.



Side Note: I will be fishing the Comal several more times this year!

Hate to hear that. I know the place you are talking about. As the saying goes. "Here today and gone tomorrow".

Another important saying. "You never have enough fishing spots"!

Nice fish Chuck. Love catching those Redbreast. So far this year I have caught some nice ones fishing Mcqueeney during late spring. Also caught some good ones when me and my friends kayaked the Nueces Canyon. The Redbreast bite has seemed to have slowed down some. I have not caught any the last two times out.



Side Note: Still seeing sunnies on nest. How about you?

Thanks Curtis for the reply. Sunfish are still on nest and so are the Rios. Still picking up some nice Redbreast and a lot of nice Bluegill. The Rio bite has been good but a lot of the "Big Bulls" are not biting due to nest duty! Water bodies are in pretty good shape and there are a lot of active fish.



Side Note: How is the Crappie bite?

Crappie bite is great especially during the night.

Thanks Curtis. I saw Jeff at Academy and he said you all have getting limits at night. Good job.
