Yes 59 is a highway, follow it till it crosses the Nueces. The launch is there under the bridge

Where is the boat launch at "59"? Is 59 the highway number?
Thank you Yes it is the highway number. You head west from 37 on 59 and when you crossover the river you'll see a place to turn back and go under the bridge, that is where the ramp is.

Put in at the airport yesterday about noon, quit at five. Headed upstream as far as we could go, fished in the two deepest holes below that. Caught twenty, mostly big females and a few big males. Smallest was 11 inches.

None of the females had spawned, but look to be close.

sorry, very late report...went 2-3-2018...super bowl sunday, and the kids were splashing around in the river like it was schlitterbahn again...a fair amount of fish there, but they were more interested in spawning than biting...three of us got a dozen, pretty slow...
am thinking about trying again this weekend...

yeah, sorry, went Saturday but have been away from the computer to give a report...went north to the shallows, very crowded, some people catching and some people not...scratched out 23 with maybe a dozen small male throwbacks...the game wardens say the females aren't up there yet... same story...maybe in a few more weeks...we keep getting these fronts which I think is slowing the spawn down... snookered

Some of the females I caught last week had very mature egg sacks and were ready to drop. I would think the run is actually winding down. I also caught a lot of undersized males, which I also thought was a sign that the run has already peaked.

thinking about going this weekend....anyone hear of any reports? hoping that the females have made it up there by now... when you don't hear any reports, that means that either there's no fish, or the fishing is off the chain and no one wants to spoil it  snookered
