Hello to the Texas Fishing Forum,

I'm from Venice Beach California and my tournament travel partner Troy Lindner and I not long ago returned from Del Rio and the Bassmaster Amistad Open. He fishes the pro side and I'm on the Co side. We have talked about a visit to Amistad for a long time. Based on its reputation we had visions of Big Bass and heavy limits.

Wow what a tough bite, glad I was comfortable with the drop shot. Just wanted to say hi and a shout out to all the great people in Texas. Don't know if it's a big city thing (Los Angeles) or a California thing but the people in Texas are awesome and drama free, what a fresh breath.

We both finished well and this was my 1st trip to Amistad and my 1st B.A.S.S. event. We're looking forward to another trip to Texas, hopefully sooner than later.


Pre-fish fun two birds with one stone

Wetlines everyone!

Wish Amistad would've been a little more hospitable towards you guys. It's nice to hear good things from "outsiders" about coming to Texas. We all too often take for granted what we have right under our nose in this great state.

Derek, I moved to the Houston area from Venice 2 years ago. Im a 4th gen Angelino, and Ill never move back. Texas people are the best people Ive found. And the housing market suits me a lot better too!


Congrats on a great finish in your first BASS event! Well done.

If you come back just come here and ask for some info on the lake you are going to. Lots of good guys here that will help you.
Glad you liked Del Rio, it is a laid back place!


Retirement best job ever.
