Mason Creekin'

Finally got to catch a little break from studying and doing homework all the time and hit Mason Creek after class today. Didn't take too many pictures. All in all caught 7 Rios, 3 Longear, a Bass, and probably around 30 Bluegills. Caught em on Berkley Minnows and Eagle Claw Trout Crawlers.




These are the Eagle Claw Trout Crawlers in case if you haven't heard of em.



I picked em up while browsing at a Gander Mtn I stopped by on my way back from Lake Conroe once and just found them again in my tackle collection lol. It's always a treat refinding tackle you bought awhile back, it's like buying em all over again Anyways, they're alot like the Berkley Trout Worms but I thought the fact that they also had red flake in em was cool and the fish seemed to like em as well.

Sounds like you got into em. Nice Catch! Also very nice Rio!

Great report LR. Those are the best kind of breaks! Glad you got to catch a bunch.

Totally agree! I don't know of any better way of taking a break and relaxing!

Thanks guys! It was sure was a great way to get my mind off school for awhile I'm now at a Astros(lastros) game then headed out to East Texas after class tomorrow. It will definitely be an awesome relaxing weekend

Glad you finally got to fish some. Really pretty fish and lots of them. GET OUT MORE OFTEN LOL!!!!

You're tellin me! Maybe you can come down here and explain to my professors how they've made me anti-social and trapped in my own house!

Get that degree and a good job and you will be able to fish a lot more! Remember hard work pays off and good things happen when you are fishing.

Good for you Lunker, you ought to be fully recharged when you get back to class, nice fish you caught there

Thanks Chuck and Robert I appreciate the kind comments!

Chuck I certainly am trying my best, hopefully I can transfer to SFA after getting my basics done and Master in Forestry/Wildlife Management so I can get a job where I'm paid to be outdoors all the time

Nice catch and a fine report! I know the feeling about needing a break. Between two jobs and school I still find some time to fish!

How do you like those trout baits? I usually use the Berkley Power Worms. I see the ones you have are scented. Can you tell if that works?

Good report. So how did you rig those trout worms?

Thanks Laker One and Darkside Don!

LO - So far so good with the trout crawlers, they seem to have a pretty good action in the water and I think the red flake gives em a little extra "umph". Although I don't think the scent makes a huge difference if at all.

DD - I'd just thread them on the hook and bury the point in the worm like you would a live nightcrawler. And when they start to tear up you can wacky rig em and that'll catch fish too! If I remember right the wacky rig is what most of the Rios bit when I used em at Mason Creek.

Thanks

Thanks "LR"! I may just try em. I love the Berkley Power Worms. I have gotten some very good results with em. It never hurts to try new baits.
