Welcome to another Around The ForumwellDay On The Waterwell maybe it was a Tips and Tricks?

Heck I dont know what to call it, all I know is JC Gwynne the Amistad Man gave me so much Great Video it was hard to pick just one, So Ill call this one a HUGE Post with Tons of Great Videos and Pictures. smile

On Thursday November 11th, My self and Three other TFFers Bryan,Vince and Mark ( Mark is last since he has UT ties  ) headed to Lake Amistad to fish and follow one of if not the BEST Amistad Bass Guide, JC Gwynne.

The trip plan was to Fish Thursday afternoon just us four and then Bryan and I would fish with JC on Friday with Vince and Mark following and fishing in Vinces boat. Saturday Bryan would fish with JC by himself in the Anglers Lodge Bass Club, not sure about the correct name though.

Anytime you book a Guide trip with out knowing or meeting a Guide its always a little nerve racking thinking about how is hes going to be with his boat, will he be cool with us, will he be a good teacherEctEct.

I had only talked to JC on the phone leading up to the trip, but had done my home work and had nothing but good things reported to me, I even had a couple Elite Series Guys, one being Chad Griffin tell me we would have a blast with JC and wouldnt regret it and his knowledge of Amistad was almost un matched.

We get down to Amistad about 2pm Thursday and we 4 take Vinces boat out and stick a few fish, one being the weekend Big Bass (5.3) by Mark, and a few really nice Jig Fish. Bryan Would catch the first bass of the day and that would prove to be his trend for the weekend, after all the fishing was done, Bryan would set more first and Personal records than you can Dream For.


Now, lets skip to Friday Morning, Im walking up to the Tackle shop at Anglers Lodge and I see a man talking to some anglers in front of the shop. At first I was going to ask Larry The Cable Guy for his Auto Graph, as I was almost 100% sure thats who it was, then I noticed a hand full of lures and a noticed he was talking about the fishing. Thats when I realized it was JC.

Instantly he greeted us, and made us feel as we were old friends, I see why people say JC never meets a stranger. He walked us through what the day should hold and what to expect. We load up in the 2 trucks and boats and head to a Ramp about 20 minutes away and start What would become a Trip That Me, Bryan,Vince, and Mark will never forget.


I had over 6.5 hours of Videos to go through and 100 Pictures, sorry it took so long to get up but when you have that much AWESOME footage you have to really pick it over.

JC and Bryan,,here is yall's Intro Video.......


So what are we waiting for lets get started with 1 of the 29 videos I have for you.

Here we are on the way down to Amistad, watch the end as we are all acting like little kids when we see the lake.


This was the night before we meet JC and Mark sticks his 5.3 at the end of the video.


We meet JC and he talks about the day.


We get to the first spot and JC talks about what we are going to do, and tells Mark and Vince about a good spot across the way. Watch JC's first cast and watch him retie the Jerk bait at the end.


Here they are catching more Jerk Bait fish....WATCH THE 5:00 mark as JC will get a lesson from the Big Man up stairs..I still Laugh. Bryan also catches his First Ever Jerk Bait Fish.


Bryan catches his First Ever C-Rig fish and JC talks about the New Tornado Color...I also loose a good fish frown

We had a great time down there. Vince and Mark were the subject of much laughter, and Casey was just as funny with his middle of night, early morning candy addiction.

Amistad is a great fishery, and I plan on going back down there come springtime/spawn. JC sold me hook line and sinker on the lake. As of this moment, I'll be going down with an empty backseat on the boat. I'm sure that spot can be filled easy enough. It would be great to see a big group of TFF members all head down at the same time come spawn season and just fill up Anglers Lodge. I know they'll be glad to see us, and anyone that goes with JC will see he is just as glad to have us down there.

Us 4 had a great time together, and if next time we get more I'm sure we'll have even more fun. One condition, we do NOT go to the Mr. Gatti's in Del Rio! smile

Does all guides always fish? It seems if you pay all that money to catch fish shouldn't the customer at least get the first cast?

hi ya'll, well I had a blast with casey and the boys. I was so happy Brian was able to be successful with new things as well as breaking his personal best.
I was a little dissapointed when we did not get a huge fish on film, however you cant catch them everyday, but I hope this shows you can still have a great time on Amistad while hunting for the giants.

Awares, normally on a paying trip with clients, I will catch one or two to show the client that the fish are there and catchable, and then set my rod down and focus on the clients. Some clients choose to have me keep fishing as they learn visually and prefer to watch how I present the baits, I accomadate each client per there diffrent preferences

Well guys enjoy the videos, and if you have any questions about the lake please feel free to give me a call at your convenience.

Respectfully,

Jc Gwynne
