With a busy crawfish season and our crazy COVID work schedule I haven't done much fishing the last year.

I moved to Stephensville in 2016. I have pretty much fished the area exclusively since then. 4.5 years and about a thousand fish later I finally broke the 2 lb mark. Caught her off the Union field...

Thanks man. I've heard it can be crazy. I'm not a fan of too much company. I think I'm gonna steer clear and try my normal spots. I once made the mistake of crabbing turtle bayou pipeline on a...

Thanks Bayou Boy. I've been there once a couple years ago, but i was in a boat without a depth finder. I didnt know if it was a deeper pipeline (7-10ft) or shallower and silted in.

Anyone here familiar with the bluebird canal? I'm not interested in fishing it, but I have a hunch that there may be some early season crabbing opportunities.

So my questions are: #1 How deep is...

I would like to try some of these hooks, but I'm not sure how the sizes run. Does anyone know what size would be closest to a 1/0 gold eagle claw hook? Thanks.

I've been catching a little bit of everything the last couple weeks. The catfish bite in the cypress trees has been pretty good. A few bass in the canals on white spinnerbaits. Got a nice mixed bag...

I would like to try to catch some whites in the Stephensville area. I frequent the oil field canals in the area, but only catch blacks. Would the lakes be more productive for whites than the canals?...

Yeah I’ve added a bunch

mostly yes

Been a good couple weeks

Caught 10 sac au lait off the dock this morning. 30 min before sunrise - 30 min after. Quality was pretty good. The big fish on top was 1lb14oz. Also had a few bass that swallowed the hook. This year...

I had a pretty good morning in the NE end of lake verret. Fished with shiners and black/chartreuse jigs. Most fish came from shiners. 30" under cork fishing laydowns. Caught 26 sac au lait total. 19...

Looking for some opinions. I'm going to try my hand at night fishing this evening. I have two spots in mind. One in open water (lake), one in pipeline canal. Similar water quality, similar depth,...

Thanks for the suggestions. I went with the helix 5. Also got me a motor guide Xi5 w/ gps, and a millennium spyderlok setup. Now I just need some rods and I'll be ready to go. Got the gear, just need...

Looking at humminbird helix 5 chirp w/ gps, DI for about 350

Putting a fish finder on my bateau. Looking for suggestions please - under $400. Mostly used for depth, speed, temp.

Trying to decide between the two. Will be used for amateur spider rigging, rod n reel fishing, and setting crab nets and traps. Hook7 is half the cost. Are there any features of the HDS that are must...

Nice trip! I come in from offshore Wednesday so I'll be hitting the canals starting Friday.

Guess I can't complain considering I caught it 50' from my back door.

to my first two pounder. 1lb 15 oz and a hair over 15". I thought for sure it would break 2lbs. Major respect to the guys who consistently catch 2-3lb fish, cause this was a big fish to me.

From what I've read, netting will be allowed in certain parts of the lake. I would be willing to bet the well known spots will be offlimits. I didn't read anything about a limit of netters on the...

I can understand the concern, but nets simply do not catch that many gamefish. Why? Not exactly sure. Some say it's because the gamefish are more sight oriented and avoid the nets. I dont know. What...

We've caught a couple million pounds of fish in our lifetimes in nets and we'd be hard pressed to fill up a 150 gt with the sac au lait we've caught.

That is true, gill nets are not discriminatory in theory, but mesh size plays a great part in what is caught. I would go as far to say mesh size can be species specific. For example, during shad...

With that being said, it won't take many good comms long to put a hurting on a landlocked lake that small.

My dad and I commercial fish year round - crawfish, crabs, alligators, nutria, gill nets for shad, gillnets and lines for choupic, lines, hoopnets, and trammel nets for catfish and buffalo. So we...

Thanks Josh. Anytime you have more advice I'm all ears!

Couldn't leave em biting so I tied on a jig. Caught a few more. Ended up catching 18 total. I think I'll let it rest during the week and work on some more brush. I figure if I keep sinking brush I...

Always keep the shiners stocked!

The last few days fishing from the dock have been slow. Friday night I caught 8, took last night off, had a family movie night.

Tonight I decided to bait the...
