i agree 100% i wouldnt want to be a gill in that lake either!! the most productive lure iv used out there is a bomber crank bait that looks just like a perch blue gold and red color.let me know next time your in God country would like to meet up also then fish the west prong. Didn't know you were from northwest Georgia!!  haha!!westprong nueces river valley is Gods country. past generations of native americans would agree

For what I can see that Nueces River area is going to be hard to beat!  The fishing I was able to do there will diffidently be hard to beat!

Those are some outstanding bassgills. I love catching bassgills. But I think you're cheating when you're not using ultralight fishing equipment! 
For those of you wondering; the reason I call them bassgills is because they are part of the sunfish family!
"The largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) is a species of Black bass in the sunfish family native to North America . It is also known as widemouth bass, bigmouth, black bass, bucketmouth, Potter's fish, Florida bass, Florida largemouth, green bass, green trout, linesides, Oswego bass, southern largemouth and (paradoxically) northern largemouth.[2] The largemouth bass is the state fish of Alabama[3] (official freshwater fish), Georgia,[4] Mississippi,[5] Florida[6] (state freshwater fish), and Tennessee[7] (official sport fish)."

Thanks Guys for the replies. "Laker One" Glad to see you made it back from the Big D. Thanks for updating the standing board. We caught the fish in 5 to 15 feet of water.  "DR" Totally correct on the Bass being part of the Sunfish family. Super information.

That was a great trip Chuck. I may be converted to a bass guy yet! Not. But it was fun and I learned a lot from Kurt. Trying to find the gills on that lake was an adventure.
Manchu - I am the Buckeye fan unfortunately. This year at least. They will bounce back once they clean out the Tressel mentality.
Roofish - Semper Fi! I had to get that shirt when I saw it. I'm sure your son will make the right decision when the time comes.

Glad you had a good time Mike. Enjoyed it a lot also. Maybe you can talk your wife into getting a 2012 Skeeter Bass Boat for Christmas!  If so we can plan a Amistad trip every month!  Also was glad you were able to catch those huge Spring fed Longears. Those Kinney County Longears are hard to beat!

What a super day of fishing on a very super lake. Good job guys. I have fished Amistad a lot over the years and I can say it is truly one of my favorite lakes. Are the fish starting to get into their winter patterns?

Thanks "LR" and "Gitter" for the replies. "Gitter" I think the Bass are starting to get into a winter pattern. I also think the Sunnies are changing their patterns as well. We have some cooler weather coming in this week and that should really scatter the fish. The fish are moving to a little deeper water. Right now pre winter feeding is taking place.

Thanks Chuck. I also think the winter patterns are beginning to set in. I think the fish will be in a little deeper water and on drop offs.

Thanks "Chuck Wagon" I love that Big Blue. Give me a box of Red Wigglers and a good bank spot and I would be in heaven.
