Its time to start my combo hybrid/striper/trophy blue catfish trips. This is a great time to learn winter tactics for blues along with artificial dead sticking techniques for stripers and hybrids. The techniques you will learn will work on all lakes. Now is one of the few times that you can employ both tactics at the same time and catch 40+lb blues and 10lb hybrids or stripers at the same time. Give me a call!

Trent, I love the three words, "dead sticking techniques"...there's something funny about those run together...look forward to seeing you at Texoma in Jan...good luck on your winter time fishing...

Where will you primarily fish? Tawak?

Do you ever fish Texoma?

Makes you feel glad your still young huh.

Yes these trips will be on Tawakoni. I don't know Texoma well enough to charge anyone. Tawakoni may be the only lake in Texas that you can catch all three at the same time. This is one of my favorite times of the year. It seems I just heard that on the radio or something.

I do fish Texoma but just for fun. In fact we will be up there in the 3rd week of January.

I will see you that weekend, and we'll fun fish too!

Anybody that wants to learn how to catch a big ol' blue at Tawak should give Stripaholic a call. There is not much more fun to be had than reelin' in one of those double digit catfish. You may just pick up a couple of stripers while you are catfishin'. That's what ruined me, I kept catching those stripers on Tawak while I was fishing for blues, and decided I'd learn how to become a striper fisherman.

Stripaholic and NoSweat, I'll see y'all at Texoma in a few weeks. Can't wait.....

Beautiful day on the water today. The big blues did not cooperate today but the hybrids did. Finally found them late in the day in which one drift yielded 6 fat hybrids between 6 and 8 pounds. Man these fish look great this time of year! I wish I could have found these earlier in the day. The water temp has not slowed the fight. Deadsticking bass assassins was the ticket in 25-40'.

If you want some good fish Trent is the man.

Keep 'em cornered Stripaholic...I want to hit Tawakoni sometime during my Christmas break!!!!

Come on down Fuzzy. PM sent.

Hey THANKS Trent...I will call you when I get back in town.

I have Saturday 12/29 open.

Christmas came early for ewilson and I. Right after getting some lines out a 22 lb. blue breaks the ice. So we are like alright theres a start. Then a few minutes later Erich lands an 8 lb. striper on cut shad of all things. Moved up the lake a little ways and things started picking up. 32 lb. blue, then a 23 lb. blue. Things finally slowed enough to get the deadsticking gear out. Pulled a few 4lb hybrids, 7 lb. striper, and couple magnum sandies. Moved out a little with the lake turning to glass. Totally calm. A few minutes later the big one hit. This rod had about 100 yds. of line out and this fish would not budge. I finally worked it back to the boat and down she went. Sulking and not wanting to come up. When she finally came to net we both thought she was over 50lbs. But the scales read 46lbs. All fish were released in excellent condition to fight another day. Here are a few pics....












Life is GOOD!!!

WOW! GREAT JOB TRENT & ERIC...LOOKS LIKE GREAT FUN!
