We took a quick strole down to the river to try some jigs. We caught a few in various sizes.


It amazes me the different sizes of fish that will hit a jig

Two words. "God's Country"! Nothing beats the West Prong and the Nueces Canyon!

Thanks for the reply chuck! Let me know when you plan on being in this neck of the woods

Love those quick trips. Nice post.



Side Note: The bass must have had a great hatch this past year. Been catching plenty of them in both the fingerling and in the 5 to 8 inch range.

Nice post! Ya'll are lucky to have such a beautiful river nearby.

This upcoming spring for sure. Hope to be fishing the Canyon a lot this year! Will be giving you a call in the very near future.

Thank you Laker One ! I agree lots of baby bass

Thank you 1960texan for your reply! We are blessed to have the west prong flowing thru the back yard

Sounds good!

Having a fishery like the West Nueces River right in your back yard pays off!

Yes it does! They are truly very blessed living in some very beautiful country!

It does have it's drawbacks, like fishing when i should be working just don't tell my boss lol

The water is so clear it's a great place to test our jigs. We can see exactly how they react to varying twitches of the rod tip and the action of different furs and feathers we use

Yes Sir you have a great set up for sure on testing all sorts of baits! Nicely done. Do you use any top water lures?

Thank you Gitter Done! To answer your question about topwater lures, yes we do use them. I use a bone colored she-dog and yesenia throws a baby bass colored one. Not sure the brand but it works

These are the only ones we use and have had them for years. Our favorite time to fish them is during the summer at night. It's awesome to hear the blow-up then feel the rod load up
