Thanks Leo! I fished both the Canyon and Sabinal Valley last week and the sunfish bite was very slow! I did manage to catch a bunch of Guadalupe Bass and a few Longear. I also did not see any nice sunfish or Rios. Have you been seeing any or catching any in the Canyon?

Yep...pre front fishing should never be passed up. Sunday was a dandy, but in no comparison to what I experienced today. Tried to talk Banker into going but he told me the front was expected to hit around noon and he doubted the fish would be feeding much anyway. Got to one of our local community pond around 10 am and the only thing I could snag were dinks in my normal slab holes. I Decided to leave around noon, telling myself I should listen to master Chuck more often. As I was walking back I noticed an area I had never fished before that still had grass showing about 3 feet under the surface. Readjusted my slip bobber to about 4 ft deep and made my first cast. The bobber no more than settled and it started going sideways when I pulled the trigger on a 9 inch Redear. Long story shortened up a bit I caught over 20 Redears most all between 8 - 9 1/2 inches by 130 pm when the front finally came in with some light rain. Here is a pic of one I just had to send to Banker to show you just never know unless you go.

I also did not see any nice sunfish or Rios. Have you been seeing any or catching any in the Canyon? We caught a few weekend before last but this past weekend didn't catch any rios Side note: we didn't see hardly any big gills on the surface. All the ones we caught were down on the bottom in 20fow hanging out with the crappie

Thanks Steve, Yesenia,and Leo for the replies. Leo: I am still catching a few Rios on a certain creek! All of my other spots the Rios are hiding.

Nice fishing guys. All of these fronts blowing in is making the sunfish bite more difficult. Looks like another big front will be blowing through on Monday. Hope we get some rain. How are the water bodies you are fishing holding up? Again great post and fish.

Thanks Curtis for the reply. Water bodies are holding up but all of em could really use a some descent rain amounts. Hopefully we have a very wet winter. (Double RAIN dance).

Thanks Chuck. Judging by the last several fronts that have blown through some of the areas around us got some descent rain while the local area got very little.

The front coming in today will not bring much rain to our area. Hopefully we have a wet winter. (Rain Dance).

Thanks Gitter for the reply. The winter bite has been GREAT! It has not been all that cold yet in South Central Texas. Yes We can use the RAIN! (Triple RAIN DANCE).
