My dad has been fishing down there for a Long time. He talks about catching in early January.

I live on the nueces and have caught whites solid the second week in December before. They are not on the move just yet. Been fishing everyday the last month. Very very very few fish. All tiny males if and when any are caught. No keepers at all for me yet. And there has been a crazy amount of boat traffic. Also wardens every weekend so have your boat in order!!!

This more than likely is going to be a result of the population explosion from the Eagle Ford Oil boom. I'm thinking it's going to be an interesting season down there, and probably won't look or be the same as years past. All you have to do is check out the number of views.
Oh, the price of progress! Over 1000 already!

Hello guys---- Been stuck in the brush looking for gut shot deer ! lol Good to be back. Hope the new river gives us some good fishing this year. Been a while since we had water !

Happy Birthday Rio!

Thanks Jimbo-

Been thinking about fishing the banks on the nueces. White bass and/or crappie, need to replenish my freezer.

I hear ya man. down to my last pack of filets. Spent the day getting the boat and trailer set to go. rods relined and set for action. Old humminbird wide view with side look ready and functioning. just waiting for the right day to go. Daughters got her district livestock show next weekend, so, that might the wrong week. Last week, shee took first,, reserve grand champion, a third, and a fourth place and got the senior showmanship award in west Kerr county show. She and her goats got one more show and then they will be gone. YIPPEE YiPPPPeee.

Beautiful weather this past weekend and no reports from Airport or 59 bridge? Come on fellas, give 'em up!

Yep, with 1,738 views you would think that maybe at least a couple of those folks would have made the trek down there?

Looking forward to going tomorrow. Not sure yet as I need to clear my plans with the warden. She can be a tough one at times. Chances for catching crappie I'm sure are minimal at best, but I'm gonna try and give them sandies hell, if they're there yet.
Grubs, jigs, traps, minnows, whatever.
Was planning on taking the Jon boat but my truck is in the shop, so I will definitely be banking it with my son and a buddy.

Patience, Grasshopper. Just kidding, cuz I'm dying up here too. Problem is this is the week of the county and district stockshows in Kerr county and my daughter shows goats. So my free days aint so free. Good thing is, that this is it; no more goats for six months after this, so here we go!

Yep, just got my Jeep out of the shop today, but there are still a couple things I need to fix. Boat is done, but the Jeep needed fixin!
OK, that accounts for three of us, but what about the other 1,826?

Just kidding!....I'm getting bored and tired of fixing things!

I have been checking this thred to see if I need to head to my river and try for some whites

I usually don't go till mid Feb but just like seeing if anyone is catching this early
