Central TX Blues

Went out yesterday with little feather and boated some decent fish in central TX from 12# to 32#. Probably would’ve had a new lake record but a hog came unbuttoned on my padna. All fish caught were in less than 30 fow. All in all a fun and productive trip!

Central Texas? What lake? Nice fish, great job....

That’s lake Brownwood. Nice work fellas. Somebody’s Bluecatn game has really ramped up! Can you teach me your tricks Curtis?

Nice work! If those were caught on lake Brownwood that is fantastic! When I grew up there they didn’t have any bluecats stocked in that lake but I’ve heard in the past several years that they have been showing up. That is a beautiful lake. I’ve also heard that Lake Proctor also has some nice bluecats as well which is not far from Brownwood.

Thanks fella’s. I quit fishing this lake after 5 skunks. Game Warden told me there were very very few blues. Great yella cat lake though. Since the talk w Game Warden I got some good electronics on my boat and learned them. Catching is much easier when I can see them with their dinner apron on. Lol! On to Ivie next week for a couple days
Gato, I think my main change was simply the chosen lake. Oh, and I switched from circle hooks to large Kale widegaps run in tandem. Those short strikes went way down. Good luck out there fella’s! Happy Holidays to all!

Nice day on the water!

Thread title reminded me of this song for some reaaon

I used to use Kale hooks back when I was a floodgate fisherman in the 90s and they worked great for Flatheads! Here’s a throwback pic from 1998...I still remember catching those toads like it was yesterday!




I switched to circle hooks when I started drifting for Blues many years ago and have been using Triple Threats last 3 yrs. On days they short strike or are giving an injury bite you know my favorite rig amigo. How did the stingers work when you hung your PB with me last winter? Seems like we caught almost everything on the stingers that trip if I’m not mistaken. Wish you were able to fish with us up at Texoma next weekend! Gonna be a fun trip!

Great pictures with lots of smiles.

Nice fish. Good job.
