Still catching good numbers of both Redear and Bluegill. Also catching some nice bass in the 2 to 3 lb range. Fished several ponds last week between storms that are in GREAT shape. Fish are holding near weed and reed beds in 3 to 5 feet of water. Bottom and float techniques are used. Worms were the bait used. Fish were fat with plenty of fight and were also active. Pond fishing for Bluegills. It just don't get any better!

Your stories never cease to amaze me.

Thanks krazydaddy2 for the reply! Pond fishing is hard to beat.

If I had not fished with Chuck and seen it with my own eyes, I would swear he has a folder of fish photos on his computer that he just keeps rotating for the posts on here.. LOL

You are 100 Percent Right Bob!



Side Note: It also helps if you have GREAT PLACES to fish!

Fantastic Chuck, Redear....they have become as extinct as the dinosaurs here. Love looking at their pics. Sadly we here in Austin are at the mercy of the LCRA as to when our lakes will become fishable again.

I haven't fished a pond since moving back to Texas seven years ago, Chuck. Your posts have tweeked my interest in researching local spots!

Good looking sunnies, Chuck!

Setting the hook sure is fun....WTG BAF......

Banker, you are amazing to have developed all the places you can fish from the bank. Have never known of anyone else that has done that. By the way, I picked up a couple of packs of trout worms as back-up when I do not have live worms. I caught a coughs a couple of fish on them today. Appreciate your telling me about them.

Thanks Guys for the replies! SK: Yes sir that hook set is a BLAST! fish 'till I drop: I love to BANK FISH plane and simple. I love putting my gear in the back of my truck and just taking off. Just being in and seeing the beauty of the GREAT OUTDOORS is worth it by it's self. As I say. It just don't get any better!

Side Note: Always good to have a pack of Berkley Trout Worms in the tackle box.

Those are some hogs Chuck. Good job. Bet those ponds are is super shape after all of this rain we have gotten. How would you rate the bass bite?

Thanks Curtis. Ponds are in great shape with plenty of active fish. As for the Bass bite is has been pretty good. Catching plenty of 2 to 3 pound fish.




Side Note: Any east side river news?

Fast currents and a lot of past very heavy rain has slowed down the bite on the eastern end. Some very good brush piles have got washed away. Good news is we had a pretty good day the past Friday. Jeff,Steve,and I limited on the Crappie. We also picked up a bunch of nice Bluegill!

Thanks Curtis!
