Fished with a tiny pro today and his Aunt Susan. The little one tore them up all morning long.



He ended up reeling in 40-50 easy. Suzan was in fish heaven all morning. It makes it, a different experience, to be able to see the sandbass swimming in front of you.



They were coming up the rapids in huge numbers this morning. Jack actually went out in one rapid and picked up a bunch of Sandies, that had beached themselves in the shallower areas in the rapids, and tossed them in a deeper area.

Today I got another limit in 20-30 mins. Everyone, that knew how to fish for them, pretty munched limited. Ran into previous clients, and they had a limit too. Found a hybrid as well, CPR'ed.

nice

Another morning another quick limit. Even Caught a channel cat on a jigging bobber.

Round Two: My turn.

Hit Rowlett Creek for 2-3 hours. Hooked 19 and landed 12 Hybrid Stripers. Fun times. No clue how many Sandies I landed. I would get mad when I landed one. They would eat my secret bait before the hybrid would get to it. Mean Sandies.



All catch and release today.

I Had a client cancel on me at 10:30 pm for the morning trip. Not very nice at all and it was a first time experience for me, but, it gave me a day off to go play around and find the Hybrid Stripers again. And, ill tell you what DH, y'all missed out. I got my secret bait for the day and headed to my secret holes. It was Hybrid City! They were on fire and eating anything with reason. I must have broke off 20-30 easily and landed 28 solid Hybrid Stripers and 20-30 mag White Bass/ Sand Bass, and the turtle in the above pic. And I had a whopping "0" people around me. Everyone was in the Hell Hole crowding each other. Go down stream and find ur own hole. The fish are everywhere as I have said in the past. Find 3-8 ft of water in shady pockets and if you r fishing the correct way, you should hook up.

At one point my hand was dripping blood from the teeth on the Hybrids, digging into my hand. Everyone knows what " Bass Thumb" looks like. Well this is what Hybrid hand looks like.



After I got bored of catching Hybrids, I headed to the Hell Hole to chat with BaffinBay and Ultralite. I was standing in the water and a dead shad floated to me on the surface, so I put it on my jig and bobber rig and sent her out. Didn't take long, and the bobber disappeared. Then I looked at Ultralite and he was hook up.



Mine was bigger. Haha.

I reeled in a couple more Sand Bass and Hybrid Stripers and went home. Took a nap and did t wake up till 7 am today. Guess I was beat!

And now for the Eye Candy:













All my fish were 24 & 25 inchers. Only 4 were under that mark for the day.

If you want to learn how to catch these massive hard pulling fish, click my website link below and go to "Book a Trip". I'm on the water all day, so please don't call me asking what I have open. I don't keep my calendar with me. The book a trip link is a request form. In the comment box put down three other days u can go and add morning trips or evening trips. When I get home I'll try and find a slot for you.

Hybrid Stripers must be 18 inches or longer to take home. You can catch 5 Hybrids a day and retain 10 ( meaning fish from yesterday) Good luck explaining have 10 hybrids in the cooler to a game warden.

If you limit, YOU CANNOT GIVE ANY FISH CAUGHT, TO OTHER PEOPLE, AFTER YOU LIMIT. That means "you" retained more fish than your limit.

The NON-CORRECT way to measure a fish:

-laying the tape measure "over the fish", is not the way you are suppose to do it.




The CORRECT way to measure a fish:





If I see that you don't care, that you have an under sized fish, and you keep it, trust me, the game warden was called or texted about your violation. Not only me, but a lot of other TFF'er will call on you.

And, you may not keep game fish that you catch in a Castnet. That includes largemouth bass, sand bass, yellow bass, catfish, hybrids, or crappie. They must be released unharmed.



You might loose all your gear and your vehicle the next time you decide to take a chance and keep and under sized fish, besides the ticket, for poaching.

If you limit, YOU CANNOT GIVE ANY FISH CAUGHT, TO OTHER PEOPLE, AFTER YOU LIMIT.


Should be posted on all signs near lakes in Texas...

You can not take your fish limit home.put them in the freezer.. then come back the same 24 hour day and catch another limit either..you don't believe me...call Texas Parks and Wildlife..I 30 Garland office...

Well ...you can go fish more...not keeping the fish you catch by throwing them all back of the same fish you kept earlier...
... or you may fish for another species of fish and keep that limit.

Introducing the New Rowlett Creek Hybrid Striper Record:

Caught by a Jr. Angler while on a Hybrid Striper trip with me, this morning!



His brother also caught the New Channel Catfish record. No intel on weight on that one. -if they turned it in.

His brother caught a 25 inch Hybrid Striper as his biggest this morning.

Nice job carey and clients

Fish are still going strong. Went and fished a bit last night and saw 100's of Sandies and Hybrids swimming up the rapids. An amazing site to see. Looked just like salmon running a river. Lots a magnum sized White Bass and 20-25 inch Hybrid Stripers all over the place. Limits are easy right now. Even the fly fisherman are landing 5-8 lb Hybrids and tons of Sandies. The small baby hybrids have shown up. Make sure u look at the tounge patch.

Got back form austin. Missed the weekend on dfw creeks and needing my fix.. Any one want to go do some fishing?
