Fishing remains excellent on both bodies of water.
Fish are shallow and deep, pick you poison.

You are putting the fish in the boat. Are you using punch bait for the cats. I did not get my boat back for this past weekend and was promised to have it Wed. I will be head out Thursday morning when I get off of work and will be fishing Choke Thur/Fri, Calevaras Sat, and Fayette Co. on Sunday.

[Hill Country Fishin]

Yes, punchbait and shad...I'd fish Choke thur-sun and skip the other two...but's that me..

[NitroNX898]

I will be by myself thur-sat morning. I will meeting my wife and kids in Hallettsville sat evening for my nieces birthday party and will be wanting to fish somewheres close sunday so I can be ready for work monday morning. If I do some good at calevaras on sat morning we will fish that on sunday. If I do good on Choke and it is no futher than 2 hours I may drive back sunday morning or sat night. I am open for anything. I have been married for almost 15 years and my wife has never fished or hunted with me until the weekend my boat broke down. She had so much fun she has be begging my to get the boat back so we can go again. So I will be where ever the fish are bitting. any pointers on choke where to catch the cats. Are you using a cast net to get the shad.

[Hill Country Fishin]

Yes on the cast net..I usually ice them down from Calaveras or freeze them.
Fish creek beds and points at Choke.
Get a good topo map or use electronics to find trails from the recent spawn..

Repeat Guest Ronnie Hallum brought his wife LaJuan out today and we had a blast...Ronnie warned me the Lajuan would put it on us..he wasn't joking.
Beautiful weather and fishing. 50 channels, some reds and a hybrid...
Life is good

Well I am about to leave to finally get my boat. When I get off of work in the morning I will be headed to Choke to fish for four days. If you see this boat on the water or this truck on land stop by and give some pointers because I will most likely be needing them. Have a great weekend and wish me luck
