Greetings from "Back Achers Ranch" in San Antonio; this is Jeff. The saying about , "how time flies when you're having fun;" really does apply to this current phase we're in.
REDS, WHITES, & BLUES!!!!!!!
It's not even the 4th of July yet. Reds have been the main action with the start of our Blue cat season, beating down the door with a close second. In my last report I mentioned on how things we're only going to get better and believe me; the're much better than I had expected!
There are many great days to come, unfortunately also having some not so great ones mixed in. Fishing trips aren't just about filling an ice chest, though enjoyable. Take time to share some knowledge, trade some tactics, check over your gear, but most of all; do it with some kids or our seniors!
I have found over the years that it's not a disability that keeps anyone from fishing; but rather a lack of help or one's desire. I believe strongly; that if there is a will, there's a way!!!!!
The survival rate of our stocked reds last year appears to have exceeded any that we've seen in the past 6-7 years. There is an incredible abundance of rat-reds scattered all over the lake. I have actually been estimating our number of fish per "hour" rather than the number per "trip." Catch rates the past couple of weeks probably average out somewhere around 10-25 fish per hour!!! The better reds have been in the 9-14 lb. range with the big fish ranging from 18-24 lbs. With the heat coming on, I'm greatly looking forwards to June, July, August, and September; and the "Monsters of the deep," that I specialize in. Namely, the big reds and blue cats as they search for cool water pockets. The stripers had laid off for a week or so, but have been picking up this past week, with some big fish being found from time to time; keeper fish average 4-6 lbs. Seeing blue in a great way; deep schools of Blue Cats have started showing with some terrific action getting more and more regular with the better fish from 6-24 lbs. With water temps above or around the 90 degree mark, a good electronics pattern will put you on some great schools of all these fish. |
