Great post. I am going to have to get some of those tubes. I don't fish tubes much but, I need to try them more.

Tubes are king. You need someone just to take photos. Then you can fish faster.

Good job! I think you should try to duplicate it over the holiday weekend. That’s adventure fishing! :Rofl

Good idea. I've had the same thought about a camera person also.

Now that’s a good trip!!! Thanks for taking us along.

I ordered me some more Kechn Karrots from Pepop. Notice you and the crappie like that color combo. Lake Austin warming up to 75 degrees at the 360 bridge but they are letting water out of the bottom of Lake Travis so on the upper end it is still 66 degrees. Still tough fishing. Did get a few including this nice white.Attachment 304578
