Myself,Rick aka Catyakker,and fishing buddy Steve have been fishing pre front and taking advantage of the warm spells. The sunfish are starting to get more active and are preparing for their first spawn of the year. We have been catching nice fish in both the creeks and rivers. Fish are holding in weed beds,Hydrilla beds, and drop offs by deeper pockets of water. Been catching nice Bluegill, Longear, Redear, Redbreast, Large Mouth Bass,Channel Cats,and some Rios. Worms were used as bait and all fish were released to fight again. Getting some good fishing time in between cold fronts. It just don't get any better!

Great job guys Chuck, I'm eagerly awaiting the words from you "THE SUNFISH ARE SPAWNING". Until then I'll just keep wacking the white bass. I caught 81 on Friday. No 15 inch plus females though Catyaker.

Thanks Jamie for the reply! Rick is really trying to get his last two Big Fish awards for his Elite Angler! He has the Rio,Sunfish,and Carp. He almost had the LMB! at a local creek he loves to fish. A 15" plus White Bass would be one fish closer! Side Note: As I have been saying for a long time: This is going to be a "BIG FISH" year providing we get no MAJOR FLOODING!

Thanks Curtis for the reply! The Sabinel Valley is in good shape but like all water bodies it can always use a good soaking rain. This past weekend showers along with the upcoming weekend showers will be a big help! (Rain Dance).

So far April has been a wet month without any major flooding. Looks like some good rain ahead on Tuesday and Wednesday. This year is really shaping up to be a great one!

South Central Water Bodies are in good shape! Also the very south Texas area around Laredo got some very good rain! Hopefully it stays that way!

Thanks Tmonjure, and Torry for the replies. Torry: Yes Sir you are right on the money "Post front patterns have been a bust so far this year"! They have been driving me carzy
