So Far So Good!

2021 has been going pretty good. Myself and Rick aka Catyakker have been catching good quality Redear and Bluegill fishing creeks. Water bodies are in excellent conditions due to the good rains we have gotten. Fish are getting into their summer patterns and are hanging in or by grass beds in 5 to 8 feet of water. Fish are also staging under overhanging tree limbs. Seeing a lot of fish topping water hitting flying dragon flies . Most of the fish being caught are in the 8 and 9 inch range with a bunch going into the 10 inch range. Fish are being caught with worms and Gulp Alive Worms. Both float and bottom techniques are being used. Also fished my friends ranch ponds this past week and caught plenty of BIG Channel Catfish. All fish were released but some of the smaller catfish were kept for the dinner table. Oh yea, been catching a few trophy Rios also. Having a good year! It just don't get any better.

Beautiful fish guys ! Great job !

Thanks Doc for the reply!

A bunch of fun fishing with Banker. He definitely knows where to go.

Great catches...knowing where to go is 90 % of the battle...

Thanks Rick and Steve for the replies. Yes Sir it helps to know where the fish are biting and active!



Side Note: We have a couple of spots that were great during the late winter and early spring. Now you can't buy a bite!

Nice catches guys!

Nice catches Banker.... Those worms just flat out work....

TRUTH !! ........ unfortunately


.

WTG guys!

Congrats gentlemen!

Nice variety. Good to see the Rios didn’t freeze.

Thanks Yesenia, SK, Doc, pop r, flee fly, and Barry for the replies. Barry: Yes Sir there were a couple of survivors!

x2!

Light rod, worms, small wire hooks = a great time!

Summer time and the living is easy… Good going, Chuck! Y’all be careful out there in the heat. It will sneak up on you fast.

Thanks F4Gator and Torry for the replies. Yes Sir Torry got to watch the heat!

Good job guys. Nice fish.


Side Note: So far not one day in the 100 degree range. Prediction on the late summer, fall winter bite.?

Thanks Curtis for the reply. Late summer/fall bite should be AWESOME!


Side Note: For the Rios the places I have fished, I have not seen or caught that many. Will be fishing some Rio "Hot Spots" later this month.

Know the feeling Chuck. I have not caught a lot of Rios this year either. Hoping for a good fall bite.

I think the late summer and fall bite should be better!

Great post Chuck and some super nice fish. Good job.



Side Note: Sorry to hear the news about Catyakker. We will see him again!

Covid is one bad sickness.

Thanks Gitter for the reply. Yes Sir we will see Rick again in a much better place. Heaven!

Amen.
