A week ago when the moon was in the east skies when the sun was goi g down, fish were in there thick and you could see spawning g action everywhere, so maybe it's over. But I was going by the egg sacks I saw when cleaning fish. They were about half the si,e they would be to spawn and the blood veins were still dark red lines, not spreed out like they should be when the egg sack is ready to release eggs. And their rear-end part will also become a pink color as it enlarges to release eggs and I have yet to see this on these fish. So I'm baffled as to what is going on at this point. You can also push on a females belly and eggs will come out easy when one is ready to release eggs. I have only seen this on one female I caught. And there wasn't that many males up there this year. My stringers of 29 to 15 fish would only reveal 2 males, the rest were females. Normally you would catch mostly males with a few females. This year it has been just the opposite. Crazy stuff going on. But I am that person who tries to read into what and why stuff happens in a specific order so I can learn more about their behavior and read the spswn.

Fished the steps today. Took minnows. Caught 14 white bass and three bluegiills. Only 5 keepers.Glad to have caught what I caught. Most people had no fish. Had 3 females in my bunch even though they were small. Unfortunately this will be my last trip for whirebass fishing. Only have gone twice and caught enough for a fish fry. Really miss fishing my Yegua creejk at Somerville.

Fished yesterday (3/10) Caught about 5, all keepers but I gave them away. Was trying to give the fly rod a try but ended up getting more tangled than fishing. The 5 I caught was on a spinning setup.

I have not been back to the steps in over a week. Anyone have a current experience to share?

Got there around noon today (3/17), hardly any cars. It was cold and windy. Didnt see many other anglers except a few here and there. One guy had around 10 on a stringer. He was leaving and had used minnows and lures.

Water was crystal clear, ended up with 7 for the day. Fished different pockets and one pocket was doing well then it suddenly stopped. Bite seemed to stop for the whole area around 14:00.

Morning bite and minnows seems best. Good luck to anyone heading out, season is almost over.

Big shoutout to fishytx, the professor, for showing me the ropes last year and this year some. I've been dealing with health stuff for around 12 years and finally got some strength to get into fishing around 3 years ago. Still learning but have fun along the way.

Fishytx is the Master. He taught me too. People will be fishing with a single 1/32 white marabou jig for generations to come. The Fishytx Method!! flehan

GoPro Mobile Fishing Livestream at a local pond fishing the Thief pattern... one I tied at the Dallas Fly Fishers Fly Tying Class at Cabelas earlier this week!

Caught two Bass... one went almost 20 inches in length, other was not so big. Both were fun to catch on the 2wt Fiberglass CGR Fly Rod!

Bass one was caught in the first 5 minutes of the stream. Second in was caught in the last 5 minutes.

Do check the livestream out!
