Went to the mud bowl today, just fished under the bridge, was in no mood to put up with the sun. Wind kept us cool a while, until we got off the water, then the heat hit us. flame

Usually I can bring home quite a few even from Bardwell but today was really tough. Ended up with 12 to take to the knife but released well over 50 9.5"-10.5". Kept busy with the dinks I will say that.

Met some TFF friends I had not met before, that was nice. I was just leaving the courtesy dock when someone called out... "RedTopLady". I answered... you got it! He asked me if I was headed for the bridge and I said, see you there. We fished each column from one side to the other. Had some small Bass mixed in and Bream and the cutiest channel cat about 6" long.

Was a good day but would have liked the Crappie to have been of greater size for sure. bang

Did the mileage the last few trips, thought Bardwell was way closer than Cedar Creek from me, found out today it's only 15 miles farther to Cedar Creek. Sorry Bardwell, guess you lost out again! rolfmao

I've gone the 85 route from Red Oak but I still think it's further to CC by more than 15 miles....

Well, I used my trip counter going to Cedar Creek, used my trip counter going to Bardwell and the difference is 15 miles. How do you go from Red Oak to get to 85? I will check again next time I go to make sure I did not make a mistake. Still, I would rather go to Cedar Creek no matter what the difference.

Don't know how many miles that is for you, but I live so close to 813 maybe that is the difference. It's only 43 miles from my house to the island ramp off the causeway.

Red Top Lady,

Me and my friend saw you and the Silver Fox out on Bardwell. It was good talking to y'all. We ended up with 7 keepers but caught about 50. We were out on Cedar Creek on Thursday and got to keep 23 out of 50 caught. Would like to take you up on that troll motor lesson sometimes. Although I must agree that CC has better numbers and size I cut my teeth on Bardwell and it will always have a place in my heart.

Good talking to you and your friend. It is always nice to meet and visit and even better to have the opportunity to fish with fellow TFF'ers.

I would be happy to get together on the TM thing sometime. Be best when it's a calm day so the waves won't beat you to death.
