The BEST rio day ever! (Pic extra heavy)

Ok so we headed out Saturday night to one of our fishing spots and did some night fishing. We rigged up our gar gear and set out 4 rods then we jigged for crappie while we waited patiently for the gar to bite. Well we had 4 gar runs and landed 2 one 4ftr and one 6ftr. The pic is horrible but you can make out what it is lol.

Weird thing we noticed when Leo brought him to the boat was that he wasnt hooked, it just had the line that was tied to the weight through its teeth.
I caught 3 crappie that night all dinks.
After fishing till about 4 am we set up tent and crashed for a few hrs.
Sunday, after a good nights rest and everything was back in its place we commence to fishing. Started working the bank with JIGLYF jigs.
First fish of the day was a rio and the rios just kept coming





























I say we caught about 35 rios most ranging from 7-9in and one was over 10in. Leo was pitching 1/32 oz and i was pitching 1/16.
We also caught channel cats, sunfish, bass and a gasper gou also caught on JIGLYF jigs.

For sure jagg! Were still in disbelief.

Another great day for y’all

Yes sir it was! Thank you Luke57 for your reply:)

You and Gar have been having one heck of a year. Awesome fish especially the Rios. FANTASTIC post!



Side Note: What type of water bodies have you had the best results catching fish?

Very nice, and great pics!

We sure have Laker. Fresh water has given us better results. I will tell you that we tied jigs for saltwater and we did pretty good with them.


Side note: when you ask water type, do you mean rivers and lakes?

Awesome!!!!

Thanks J-Moe!

Rivers, lakes, creeks, ponds.

Super post and some SUPER fish. Keep on keeping on! Super job.

Ohhh....well we mainly fish rivers and creeks, and the only two lakes we fish are Amistad and Choke. We do very good when we fish them.

Thank you Gitter Done!!

Thanks. About the same same for me. River lakes is where I fish most of my time! Every now and then I will fish an actual lake like Canyon or Decker and I have done pretty good on both lakes this year.

Another awesome fishing trip you two. Great pictures!

Thank you pop r!
