I think they made up the whole story on the Secret Bait. I bet they used night crawlers or something simple! How ever you know "DFANMANS" nick name was the walking tackle box. I wonder if they dug something out of his tackle such as a Berkley Product? Who knows!

Urban, I wish you where there

Laker, I would tell you but then I'll have to kill you

Seriously PM me and I'll tell you guys but it only works there

Thanks every one for the replies

Yesterday I caught my PB Gill we estimate at about 10-10.5 inches, we did not measure as we were hot and heavy on them at the time.

Again it was an excellent time with friends

My wife and daughter are taking a trip next week and I plan of fishing everyday that im not working

Chuck told me!

I would have figured it out sooner or a later.


Again a super bunch of Gills. I may hit that lake the next couple of days.

OK it works have fun

Wow! What a Report and some super pictures. Those Gills are awesome! Sounds like you guys had a full day of fishing. Longears, Rios, Monster Gills, and good friends. It don't get any better than that!

Thanks for the reply "Gitter". Those Boerne Lake Gills can fight!

Big Time congrats to the awesome trio. Really like the pics !!

Great pictures. Love the ones of the backwater sloughs......

Dafanman- Love the pic of that longear (amazing color on that one) and rios!

I gotta get down South. They look so exotic compared to what I catch here in Dallas!

If you are catching Rios in Dallas that is good. The furthest north I have heard of a Rio being caught was in Belton just south of Waco.

No Rios in Dallas that I have caught.

Sorry for the confusion.

Also commenting on the colors of the fish you guys catch down South. The Longears I get into are much darker.

Great pictures as always I'm lovin the rios. Man I wish I live closer so I could fish with you guys.

I had the chance to fish with Chuck "Banker" a couple of times. I had never caught a Rio in all of my life. The first Time me and Chuck went out we hit the Salado Creek and I caught six of em. The biggest was 8" and it was fat. The rest were about the same size. I have since caught over 30 Rios this year with the biggest being over one pound and 10 inches in length. I caught it on Lake Dunlap. They are one heck of a fighting fish!

Side Note: Good luck on getting those Bulls to bite while sitting on a nest. I saw some HUGE Rios the past summer on both the San Marcos River and the Comal River. They were all guarding nest and would not bite no matter what I threw at em!
