Spring brake on the Frio!!!

We showed up a day early and instead of two days one night it turned into three days two night. It was one of the few times I actully got more time on the water then expected. This always makes things interesting. We had a bunch of fun and a mess of fish, here are some of the better ones.

Here was our first fish, it was a healthy Blue.



My buddys wife Stephanie rigging up for day two adventures.


Glad she was eager so she could land this 5 pounder! A lesser angler would have missed this amazing fish. Way to go Stephanie!!!


I get a good bass on some ultra light tackle. I love this almost as much as fly fishing.


My buddy spence got lucky with this bass running a buzz bait along the roots of an old river tree. In his words "it just looked fishy".


A verticaly jigged grub works this bass in under tough mid day fishing conditions. We joke and say it was the shade of the yak that did the fish in.


After arriving back at the launch and eating lunch I rig for a trip well into the evening.


Here comes Stephanie with another buzz bait bass.


I happen to know a good midnight spot for the kitty fish and after throwing out the never fresh frozen dead shad I end up with this and a few others for my efforts. I contemplate the idea of another back to back mini slam. LOL He went 24 inches and 3.2 pounds. Not a big flatty by anymeans but I have something to beat now.


Not to be a selfish fisherman here is my secret spot. LMAO


Early the next morning my mini slam becomes true I land my channel to make it a Blue, a Channel, and a flat head in the smae trip two trips in a row.


If you see this guy fishing at your local hole you know the fish are there.


Funny how hungry you can get while spending days on the river. I thought this looke like gourmet when I ate it. DO you realy wana know what was in it? I dont!!! YUM!!!


Another one of my bass on ultra light. How big is he?


He isnt huge but he is another bass in the boat, I think im getting tired.


Spence with another buzz bait bass, its all in how you work it, or so he says. I however had the most trouble with this lure as you see no big bass on buzz baits for me. I will say that all the biggest fish were seen on buzz bait but none of them made it to the boat. GRRRRR!!!


Can the water realy be that clear?


YES, YES IT CAN!!!
