Landlocked in San Antonio

Me: 59 year old male with everything I need to enjoy life... except a boat. Living in The Woodlands, I was privy to excellent pond fishing for years. Still go back to get my fix, because despite how much I like San Antonio and the woman I moved here for, I find it extremely difficult to pursue my piscatorial passion.
You: Have a boat! Wouldn't mind offsetting the cost of said watercraft by finding a fishing buddy willing to pay to play. Enjoy wit, whiskey and wacky rigging, despite voting for Bill Lewis for president. Chase only largemouth and would go as far as the border to do so.

Comical.

I know you put this up a while back. I am in New Braunfels, I am older than you, but still able, have an almost new 19 ft Tracker with all the bells and whistles, big screens, talons, etc. got a fishing partner but he is ailing and not able to get up and go. Escaped from Cali 2-1/2 yrs ago. I fished low level tournaments there for 17 yrs while in business and married to ex. I am not the least bit interested in tournaments any more, been there and done that. I have fished Canyon and Buchanan with guides but not my boat yet, both lakes plagued by low water. Last time I went to Canyon, all the ramps were closed. Discovered lake Bastrop. where water level is maintained, easy 1-1/2 hr drive from NB. Lots of aquatic vegetation with constant water level. Should be good for flipping, Senkos, etc. I like to fish falling baits, topwaters and rip baits but am comfortable with most bass methods. Shoot me a PM if you want to get together and swap lies.

Me: 60 Something retired with new bay boat ACCEPT fishing buddies who will fish like we are feeding the masses but probably throw everything back, snap a pictures, high five and throw a different lure and get back at it...talk sh%^&*t about the next hook up, laugh like its the last...camp out, motel out and fish fish fish....I've wondered if y'all ever went fishing...but willing to meet up and fish it up....The weather is gonna break for awhile....I'm charging batteries and heading to Walter E Long tomorrow morning........Let's go fishing

Have received a few bites, but still standing on land. Willing to make it rain to get out this week! I'll even prepare a swag bag for my captain. Walter Long, Canyon, Choke?

Choke is bad, real bad. Find someone in the Buchanan, LBJ area.

Agree with this↑↑↑↑↑↑

The fishing sucks at Choke!

Fished Walter Long with a guide yesterday and paid for a good friend to join me. The guide was good. The catching was almost nonexistent. I didn't land one. Still, it was okay. I worked on pitching for a while as we just couldn't find them over 6+ hours despite multiple lures and techniques and fishing hard. FYI: electronics were showing a boat load of crappie. Our guide went back out to bag dinner.

If y'all can make it to Decker Tomorrow morning, I can change your mind about Decker. Sorry, keep calling it decker, its Walter E Long now....we'll get into fish...

Pics last few days, from Walter E Long....fishing been pretty steady out there. 75% have been LM, the rest Hybrids, Crappie, drumm and Cats...

Darn. Wish you'd have got back to me sooner. Spent $150 for each of the four small bass my buddy and guide caught. Went to the San Antonio River 15 minutes from my house yesterday and caught a three pounder on the second cast.

Are you seeing my private messages? Kinda trolled you a week ago begging to meet up.

Sorry, didn't notice the pm...I need to look at that flashing thing, thought it was an ad. If you can make it tomorrow great...sorry for late notice.

Stayed out til 1230, was good fishing....going tomorrow morning again,

I'm jealous of your ability to get on the water. I have thought I may have seen you the day I went with the guide. We actually look quite similar. I'm going to get there again in the very near future. Watching the weather and our schedule on the home front.

I'm off the water this week. Having grand kids visiting this week...be back next week!

Good for you. I have six kids and waiting on the next generation. Oldest is a daughter, is married, but still just 25?

WEATHER in Texas is F#$%K crazy...looking for the first break in the clouds!....looks like Friday FEB 3rd.......Walter E Long .

Missed the invite, but was traveling to see a son on leave from the Army. Put him on some fish in the Woodlands over the weekend. Weather looking crazy again as of this message (2/8)

Getting pretty antsy to get out. Anyone?

back from vacation. ready to hit the lake Thursday and Friday Feb 23 and 24. Will hit Decker

I may be on that action for one of the days. Gave you my email in PM I believe. Got a new Lew's combo coming in

Both days, I'll be at the launch ramp 7am - 715am.

I plan on being there Friday morning. White beard, six foot even, Honda Civic (ouch)

She'll be ready!

Fantastic and the invite is much appreciated. Don't you dare catch em all tomorrow.

Rejoined a San Antonio club, but with just 30 members, there's no guarantee that a seat is available for tournaments. Fished Canyon one day for few results. I go see my mother in The Woodlands and land 20 in ponds in a couple of days...up to 4 lbs is typical.
So, once again, anybody near SA that can and wants to fish exclusively for largemouth any day of the week. It's April!
