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.
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.
