  1. Congrats, ttu!
  2. Yep. Tired of fishing in 100 degree air and 100 water temps. Can't wait for 75 degree air and 85 water temps.
  3. Joe Ely - Live at Liberty Lunch! 8-) 8-) 8-)
  4. To borrow a phrase.... The only thing different between a good ole Texas woman and a pitbull is lipstick.
  5. Around Red Bud, go with the flow. There is usually some current going on. Pretend you're river fishing and not impoundment. Also check where Barton Creek enters the lake.
  6. Don't mess with a Texas landowner. Ever.
  7. Walk the Hike and Bike Trails. If the fish ain't biting, the scenery is, well, fantastic. Always had good luck behind the Statesman building and at Red Bud island.

  9. We were catching poached fish the other day. 102 air temp. 97 water temp. But the schoolers were active.
  10. Since mid-May, we're working on 40+ days of 100 and over. Breaking a sweat hitching the boat at 3:30am and its only 80.
  11. Was it pretty toasty? Nothing like fishing in 90+ temps....... at night. Too late but, Anything dark and UP size!
  12. Welcome aboard! Goggle(Maps) Brushy Creek Park Stone Quarry Twin Lakes Lake Pflugerville (just really an oversized pond) Meadow Lakes Visit http://www.austinbassfishing.com/forum/ Ladybird has some really fine sightseeing Jogging trails..... There are also some places to rent canoes and yaks on Ladybird. Edit: Like Matt said, Ladybird is a No Gas Motor lake. But you can use electric.

    I design your favorite PC/Workstation graphics boards.
  14. Time for schoolies when the air temps are near 100 and so is the water temp. Ok, the lake is a cooling pond and the highest water temp I ever saw there was 105 in the outlet. But out on the main lake, it was a very cool 100. And acres of schoolies! 8-)

    Weenies...... Signed, Slighty north of the southern border.
  16. Oops...... $134 and counting. http://money.cnn.com/2008/06/06/news/economy/gas_prices/index.htm?cnn=yes
  17. Probably one of the reason oil went down last week. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24877586/
  18. 8.5+ (just guessing, never weighed) and 23". As you can see, on a white 1/4oz Fleck spinnerbait. And it hit with that amount of line out. Didn't have to reel once. 8-)
  19. I flew international last year with no extra fees. But a year can change things. I would look into maybe shipping ahead of time. Call your host and arrange. And it would be cheaper than $150. Lake Fork, huh? 8-)
  20. A front page story if ever I saw one. ;D btw B1, nice fish. 8-)
  21. We used to string 'em up. It showed the neighbors that coyotes were around and dispatched. Besides, there was a bounty to be had if you brought the ears to the county courthouse. $8 a pair.
  22. Interesting show. Now I know what my cousin in Canada went through until a tree fell on him that screwed his back and took a nice chunk out of his leg. He's a fishing guide now. 8-)
  23. Yea, they're spawning on that lake because it's a powerplant lake, and has hot water discharge... I fished a tourny in a storm Feb 16th there, LITERALLY like a few days before they started...actually i think some had started, but the bad weather had pushed them off. I caught 4 doobers to weigh in though, and a few fish in the 2-4lb range. Actually, Bastrop starts its spawn in mid-December. Earliest we've seen was Thanksgiving weekend a few years back. We hit Travis this past Friday and saw a few on beds there. Temps are correct, 62-67 in the backs of coves but at sun-up, the temps were in the mid to upper 50s. Austin is next. Should be in pre-spawn there as its waters come from the bottom of 180' deep Travis. That should last until end of May. Central Texans have the chance to fish spawn almost 6 months of the year if you play your cards right! 8-)
  24. In the winter, it depends on the weather. Its a constant switch from heat to A/C and then back again. Heat - usually around 60-62 A/C - usually around 68-72. Yesterday, we had the heater going. The day before, the A/C. Today, neither. Tomorrow, A/C. Saturday, probably nothing. Sunday, heater. If you don't like one or the other, give it a minute. The weather will change.
