Great Times on the Dock!

Myself and Richard aka Cat Yakker had some pretty good days fishing the docks on the Guadalupe River. We targeted both sunfish and carp. We caught em both. Big Carp,Redbreast,Redear,and Bluegill. Fish were caught in about 8 feet of water using both corn and worms. Kept a few sunfish for the dinner table. Good times fishing with a friend. It just don't get any better!

Outstanding. Looks like a good time on the water.

steadily thrashin the slabs keep it up fellas I’ll get a day off before too long

Thanks Flags and Clayton for the replies. Fish are starting to get active before spawn! Going to be a GREAT year!

Nice work gentlemen.

Some good catches. Hopefully more sunlight will equal more time on the water if work doesn't get in the way. Looking to set some personal bests

Nice looking fish Chuck!!!

Thanks Kelly,strangetamer90,and Alan for the replies! Strangetamer90: You should have a really good year. Water bodies are in good shape and the fish are getting active! Kelly: Thanks again for your help on getting those lures! Looking forward to meeting up one of these days soon!

Good job Chuck! Nice fish.

Looks fun. Are you guys catching Carp and Bluegills on the same setup?

No problem Chuck. Glad I could help out. I should have them in the mail tomorrow. When the crappie get active in the Guad I will be there.

Awesome job Chuck and Cat Yakker!

Well WormTraficker, only by accident. We were using Medium/Light action rods with 10 lb test line when targeting Carp and Ultra Light rods with 6 lb line and 4 lb leaders for the Gills. However, as luck would have it, several of the Carp took the wrong bait. It's what we get for using a couple of Kernels of Corn for Sunfish.

Those are hogs chuck! Wtg

Lucky you! I hunted for gills two days in a row last week and I scared up a single bull... I couldn't find a pod of the to save my life.

Where are they?

Nice work guys. Mighty fine looking fish

Thanks for the replies! Plasma800: Fish are very active right now. They are in shallow water 5 to 10 feet deep. They are getting ready for spawn!

Nice fish guys. Chuck you have been fishing those docks a very long time. I have also fished all around them in my kayak. What causes the fish to hold in that certain area? I do not see any brush piles and there is only a slight drop off. It's also not very deep in that area. What's your take? Again super fish.

Thanks Curtis and pop r for the replies. Curtis: I have been over that spot in a boat a lot. It's nothing but a flat in about 8 to 10 feet of water. I think fish feed off of that flat during certain times of the year. There maybe also snails on the bottom or some grass beds also. Just guessing.

That makes since. Those docks have really paid off for you over the years! Hope they will continue!

They have been a super place to fish for sure!

Dock fishing at it's best! Good job guys!



Chuck: Over the years that you have been fishing those docks what has been the biggest fish you have caught off of them? What has been the biggest a friend has caught?

Thanks Gitter for the reply. The docks have been very good over the years. Biggest fish I have caught off of them was a 22 pound Carp this past winter. Prior to that it was a 17 Lb Blue Cat. Biggest a friend has caught was a 25.24 lb Carp which is the Current weight and catch&release record for the Guadalupe River. Clayton-Wildman of the naviad was the one who caught that fish.

Thanks for the info Chuck. Hopefully those docks will keep paying off for you!

I sure hope so! Looking forward to many more trips to those docks!
