Good hybrid PK

Nice one, more and more of them are showing up it seems.

Caught one Saturday morning on Whitney that was just under 18".

Thats a nice looking fish!

Nice hybrid!

Yes indeed, we have found two areas that have been holding Hybrids for several months. They are still there , as we don't keep them.

Nice fish.

What a Hawg!!

Brady caught this one a while back.
Sure do make you think it�s a huge striper.

I remember you posting that fish, that is a monster.

Nice one!

I think a few of mine last year might have been Hybrids as they were very thick.

Randy: do you think PK lost a lot of stripers with the flood gates open so much this year? I have not fished PK since September due to the muddy water followed by the cold. Was out there last week and didn't see the top water action that I normally see on a still winter day in Neely.

Nice Hybrids guys!

Caught 10 Hybrids last Monday...can't seem to break 22"...

Here is a cleaning table photo from last Monday. BiG fish is 22"...smallest hybrid is 19"...

I don�t think so. I caught quit a few the last three weeks.
Seem to be lots of them on the graph when I get on a school.
These bluebird days make for hard fishing.
Cloudy misty days there pretty easy to catch.

Couldn't prove it, but there's a good possibility those wipers came out of Millers Creek..lake level has been over the service spillway since October and it was over the emergency spillway for at least two weeks. Millers Creeks empties into the Brazos between Seymour and Throckmorton.

Graham is a straight shot as well, and a lot closer. Also, I have been told the hatchery guys sometimes flush their truck at PK, FWIW.

That's where most come from. The excess fish get dumped in PK.

With all this cold weather I wish they would give walleyes another try in PK.

Certainly possible they came from any and all of the above lakes. I can tell you from personal experience that Millers Creek lost a lot of our big wipers when the lake level was above the service spillway for several weeks back in 2015 and it took a couple of years before we started seeing 7 lbs or better regularly. . Last year, we were frequently catching some nice 10+ fish. The MC lake level has been from about 6 feet to 1 foot above the service spillway non-stop since early October 2018 as of now. We all know stripers/wipers follow current and the Brazos has had plenty of flow to push fish all the way to PK since October. I hope we didn't blow out most of our bigs over the winter but that happened in 2015...time will tell.

Good intel.

Good looking PK hibbies!

Got this 26"er today...

Good Hybrid, looks like they are headed to Granbury !

boy thats great
off the bank?

i heard 1 time hybrids spawned at PK
i did not think they could

Yes sir...I was almost standing exact spot the photo was taken.

This is a 22" Hybrid I caught a few weeks ago...looks like viable eggs to me!

That is as professional looking fillet work as I have seen. Any secrets to pass on ??

Even though I did run charters offshore and bay, I always hated to waste part of the fish.

I watch the captain and his hands lob off the rib section and the loose a lot of fish.

So once I have the initial cut along the spine I use the tip of the filet knife to cut the tiny bone that go from the ribs to the skin. Then I filet the meat off the ribs down to the belly. White bass and Hybrids differ from fish like Red Snapper, their ribs softly end. So you can go down to the center line of the belly.

After the filet is off the skin I cut a little "V" to take out what is typically called the "Y" bones. You end up with a nice section of meat that is normally thrown in the lake.

I will same, it appears that a WB or Hybrid that is full of eggs...the meat gets thinner than in the summer time when there is no eggs.

Going tomorrow, if I catch any...I will post a photo of the finished filet.

One last tip...I keep knives shaving sharp!

Here is a pic from one of the Hybrids I caught today.




You guys were not too impressed with my 26" Hybrid...how about a 9.5lb 28" Striper?

Excellent work CapntC. A. 26 inch hybrid and 9.5 lb striper are note worthy in my fishing world .

Both are impressive fish.

Nice They still letting the water out CaptnC? I'm in Jacksboro,but cant find info on the discharge. Don't want to drive all the way there n water not on!! Any info would be appreciated

Poor man,
The lake is almost to normal pool and the fishing was way off today...there is still a good flow. But I could tell it's not as strong as last week or even Monday. The word is out the fish were bitting. Huge crowd for a mid week trip, fishing the week days to miss the mob is no longer working.

Lake level is at 241...normal pool is 238...so they are pretty close to shutting the flow back.

I did manage one Hybrid today...it drew so oh's and ah's from everyone. It was the largest Hybrid I seen caught today...I left at 1:15pm.



Solid 24"er!

Thanks for the reply sir!! Nice fish!! Hope they pick up for you again.

Just because a hybrid cannot reproduce doesn�t mean they lack the instinct to do so.

Have the whites started running on Millers Creek
Yet?
