Thanks "Fishbonz" for the reply! Hey Banker are RIO`s edible like Brims ie: shell crackers ,blue gills etc? Yes Sir they are.  There are certain months when you do not want to eat em because of the side wounds they get fighting off other fish that attack their nest.  The Months if you want to eat Rios are usually March,April,September,and October.  Or if they have side wounds on em don't eat em.  I always release the Rios I catch.  If I do eat fish it is Crappie,Bluegill,Redear,Red Breast,White Bass,Catfish,Tilapia,and Rainbow Trout.

How is the water level and color? I've never fished there but was gonna head there tomorrow, I'm sure it saw plenty of rain a few weeks ago and probably flooding too. Has it recovered or should I wait another month before I give it a go? Talking about launching and looking for some bass.

Fished Dunlap yesterday and the water was very cloudy with lots of debree.The current was also strong. Dunlap is a very good bass lake during the fall and winter months providing there is no major flooding. There has been two major floods on that lake this year. Hopefully it will clear up and the winter bite will be good.

Went to Bastrop instead, which was a good decision, because those bass are drilling top water baits right now up along the reeds.

Thanks Curtis for the reply. The spring floods played a huge part in the Sunfish and Rio bite on the River lakes for sure. All that cold water that was let out of Canyon Lake for two months changed a bunch of patterns especially with the Rios. Hopefully no more major flooding for awhile. Side Note: Any Mcqueeney updates? How much Rain did Jeff get this weekend?  Fished Mcqueeney this past weekend both Saturday and Sunday. Sunfish bite is picking back up. Bite was slow these past two weeks after the last flood. Water is cloudy. Been catching some nice ones by the bridge and main channel in 6 to 10 feet of water.

No problem Chuck. Crappie bite is on fire right now. Fished the very far eastern half. Myself,Jeff,and Steve boated well over 100 fish.(Crappie). We also did very good this past Wednesday fishing a little closer to Seguin. Boated over 50 Crappie between myself and Jeff. Fished from a small Jon Boat we launched behind Jeff's house. Sunfish bite has really picked up ahead of this upcoming front. Starting to catch some very nice Redear!
Side Note: Looks like the Hill Country and Dallas are getting hammered with the rain! Like you stated. "Hope no more flooding".
