RECORD/TROPHY Redbreast,NICE Bluegill,& a RECORD Rio!

Fall Creek Fishing has been on "FIRE"! Been taking advantage of the mild temperatures and the long warming periods between cold fronts. Been catching plenty of TROPHY size Redbreast including a RECORD Redbreast! Also catching a few TROPHY size Rios including a Catch&Release Rio Record. The Redbreast was 10.15" in length with a weight of .98 Lbs. Both C&R and weight records were submitted to the Texas Parks&Wildlife. The Record Rio was 10.20" in length. Caught well over 15 Redbreast that were over 10" during a one week period. Well over 50 Redbreast in the 9" range. Rounding out the catches were plenty of Bluegill in the 8 to 9 inch range, and several nice bass in the 2 to 4 pound range. Had one HUGE bass (over 5 pounds) tossed a hook back at me after about a one minute fight. Fish were caught in 5 to 8 feet of water using the "Bait of Champions" worms. Great late fall creek fishing in Texas! It just don't get any better!

That's flat awesome!! Congrats on the records.

Thanks Bones 72 for the reply! I have had pretty good year! The past two years that we had ample RAIN has paid off!

Awesome catch Chuck...are those "rapids" in the background in the 1st photo ?

Thanks Steve for the reply! Yes Sir there is a slow rapid from a joining branch that runs into the main creek.

Outstanding catches! Those are some healthy redbreast by any standards! Way to go and congrats on the records!

Thanks red snappa for the reply! It has been a very good year for catching some "Mighty Fine" fish!

Those are some pretty fish there Chuck! Congrats on the records.

That's outstanding, nice catch. Congrats on the records.
You sure set the bar high for us common folk with those fish.

Awesome catches Banker!

Never again will I go deer hunting, when the fish are biting like that. You just can't beat pre front fishing. Dang those are some nice fish. Congrats on all those records.

Thanks Osborne Fishing, Trent 72, Kelly, MJM, Texas Multi Species, Rick and Jamie for the replies. It has been a pretty good fall and winter bite . Lots of BIG fish are wanting to play!

Nice fish Chuck. You have had one heck of a year. What type of water body have you caught your bigger fish this year? Also congrats on yet more records.

Thanks Gitter for the reply. I have caught my bigger fish last year in the creeks! So far this year in 2020 the creek fishing has been "ON FIRE"!

Thanks Chuck. Judging by your post, creek fishing has been good to you guys.

Yes Sir Creek fishing is still going GREAT on some creeks!

Those are some SLABS! Good job Chuck!



Side Note: Is that winter bite still good?

Thanks Curtis for the reply! The bite has slowed down a lot!

I agree but only in the creeks. The river bite is another story. It's going pretty good!

I haven't fished for bluegills in a long time, but this thread has me fired up!

Catching a bunch of Bluegill/Sunfish on ultralight tackle. "It just don't get any better"! Thanks for the reply!

Do you think the spring bite will be just as good as the winter bite?

Let's hope so.

Slabs slabs and mo slabs

Thanks Clayton for the reply. See you in the morning.

Back!

Yes Sir!
