Fished with Fred "Rionator",and Mike "USMC_GY" and caught the afternoon bite on Dunlap. The bite was good and we caught plenty of fat Bluegill in the 7 to 10 inch range. Biggest Bluegill was about 1.25 lbs and was very close to 11 inches. Most of the Bluegill were in the 8 inch range. We also caught some very nice Redear in the 9 to 12 inch range. Biggest Redear was 12.25". We caught 10 Trophy Redear. The others were in the 9 inch range. The Redear were also nice and fat. Rounding out the catch were about 15 bass with the biggest going about 4 pounds. The Gills and Redear were caught in 12 feet of water holding by brush piles. The Bass were holding close to the shore lines and were in shallow water 3 to 5 feet deep. Bottom,float,and drop shot methods were used. Worms,jigs,and minnows were the baits of choice. Most of the fish were released to fight again but I did keep a total of 10 Redear/Bluegill for the frying pan. After an afternoon on the water we had a GREAT DINNER at the El Guadalajara Mexican Restaurant in New Braunfels. A nice afternoon of fishing with some super anglers. It just don't get any better. fish

That's all I can stand, I can't stands no more ! smile

Great fish Chuck and great report.

I'm going to give Dunlap a try tomorrow. I've lived
in SA all my life and have never fished that lake.

Will report if we do any good.

Hey Chuck

We put in under the I-35 bridge at about 9AM Thursday. Wonderful morning on the water.
We caught about 50 sunfish total. We kept 12 perch and 1 catfish for the pot. We fished until 1PM.
Most of the perch we kept were red ears. My bud caught 1 very nice Rio. Just shy of a pound I would say.
We caught all fish on worms using a slip bobber. Can't wait to go again now !

Thanks for all your info and posts !

Chris

P.S. My only regret on this trip was no pics frown

Chuck

It was a truly great day. We are looking to go back one day next week and try again.

We had our slip corks set to about 5 to 6 feet deep. We fished around shore overhangs and snags.
The Rio we caught was in about 8 foot of water.

I wished I would have paid a bit more attention to your words as well as the great pics you posted. I saw today
that you recommended fishing on the bottom. I'm going to try that next time.

Chris
