Out the house and on the water

After being cooped up for 10 day it was enough. I felt well enough to go so we went. We went over to Amelia and hit the Union Oil canals and those others around it. Couldn't ask for a better day to be on the water. The temp was around 70, the water temp was 63/65, the water was stained but not bad and we did find some very nice water. We also managed to catch a few fish. Although we were after Sacs and saw a bunch of bass fishermen without fish, we landed 4 bass pretty quick and then finally a small Sac. We went on to land 3 more Sacs and 1 more bass for a total of 4 sacs and 5 bass. Maybe we ought to say we're going bass fishing and then we might catch the Sacs. A great day to be out, thank you Lord.

I am glad you took care of your cabin fever. Now you have a nice mess of fish to eat tomorrow.

Yeah Don, it felt great.

pretty fishing hole you got there. The water looks a lot clearer than what I have been fishing.

nice catch PPG. what was the bait?

Oops, forgot that. Mostly shiners and horsehead spinner with a blue and white mini-assassin. I also forgot to mention I caught a nice shoe-pic. That was fun.

Great pics and good catch. At least you went! I haven't been on the water since early December. Getting real itchy. I might have to use a couple of those 30 days of vacation I got stored up???? :)

Good report PPG.....you may have pushed me into one more trip B4 TB....and I just washed my boat......

Great report Mr. Gene. I'm glad to see that ya'll caught some fish. With the water temp at 63 were the fish spawning? Did you catch them shallow? Or have they already spawned out?

Looks like success. Nice pics too.

Nice mr gene

Glad to see that you were finally able to get out and catch some fish.Just getting out on the water would have been good enough but was blessed to also be able to land a few fish:fish

Nice mess of fish Mr Gene.. Thanks for the pictures and report...

well done PPG.see ya next week.

Pastor only one of the Sacs had eggs that were not quite ready and one of the bass the same. One of the smaller Sacs had small eggs and again one of the bass. The rest were males. Only one of the male Sacs had some bruising on it's tail. I'm thinking that since the bite was good a couple of weeks ago that maybe some of them spawned then, but another round is coming soon. I hope I'm around to check them out.

Tal looking forward to seeing y'all also.
