Thanks Mark! I was hoping to make it up to your neck of the woods to fish the upper Guadalupe but got tied up fishing the Southwest hill country instead.

Nice post Chuck. Gonna put the Southwest on my places to fish list this up coming spring! PM me on any information as to crossings.

Thanks Curtis for the reply! PM sent!

Thanks Chuck! Will plan on hitting it this spring.

Great pictures and some very nice fish. Don't see to many Tilapia catches. Great post and congrats on your record!




Side Note: How do Tilapia survive the winter times in those hill country rivers?

Thanks "Gitter" for the reply! As for Tilapia surviving in those rivers I would think the following factors would play an important part. First winters in that part of Texas are not that severe. Second. There are a lot of springs that flow into those rivers that intern supply current which supplies a source of warm and a food source. I think Tilapia and Rios know where these springs are and will stay close by them during the coldest months. Third and final I have found some very deep pockets of water on the Nueces,Frio,and Sabinal rivers. The deeper water would also play a role in survival. This is just my opinion. On the size of some of the Tilapia I caught and saw they have survived in these rivers for a while.
