We put in at the airport with kayaks and went up river stopping here and there--we went as far up river as i could stand--my arms got tired--but coming back down was not that easy the current was not that swift--we went passed the overhead power line about a mile

We passed you all today in a motor boat. Im not sure I could have paddled that far. Most of the boats were about 3/4 mile past where you all turned around. Our rig was too big to go any farther.

Welcome to the days of the internet!

Now with the genie out of the bottle be prepared to share the river with more than a few idiots with a "me first" attitude.
It's early and the fish are going to be where you find them with a lot of sections of the river not holding fish.
Just be considerate to others and bite your tongue if possible rather than let someone ruin your day!
Tight lines!

Good advice right there. Oh, and fish during the week if you can.

Went back to the river Thursday. Had a good day of fishing, despite my lines being run over, twice. Caught 23 Whites and two Gaspergoos. Tight lining minnows and patience did the trick. After missing all of last year, it was good to be back on the river and on the fish. Now I have a face to go with the names.
Good to hear from you Jimbo.

Heading out there in my kayak tomorrow. Hoping the boat traffic is minimal, this i doubt it will be!!

Went out Friday no rudeness just nice guys having fun fishing.
Only caught a few while other boats did fairly well. Trolling rattle traps.

Which way did go, TxBassin? Upriver or towards the lake?

Towards Lake Mathis.

how did you do at airport ramp?

I launched my kayak at airport last sunday. I caught around 20 fish, all being small males except for 2 fat females. Most fish were 8"-10" in size. All were caught on 3" white grubs on a roadrunner jig head. Most all fish were caught all the way up at the rapids. I caught a few just below the rapids and some above the rapids by a couple hundred yards. The rapids is as far as small PB's can make it. I was able to drag my yak through the rapids and could access above the rapids. Tons of people on the water. Please be safe out there, especially on a narrow waterway like the Nueces. I imagine this warm weather we have coming up should get another wave of fish up river.

We limited culling fish from 1030-430 Saturday. Had to move a lot to find big fish. Even with a motor its a hour boat ride
