Nice Catfish Out of the Brazos River

While everyone else was traipsing around Houston doing the after Christmas shopping, I was able to get out to Brazos Bend State Park and get in some fishing in the Brazos River. There was a great deal of mud and rain to contend with, but I caught this nice catfish soon after I got set up on the bank. This was the only one I caught all day, but it was fun anyway.

Calaveras Catfish, 22 DEC 09

Instead of doing my Christmas shopping as I should, I went fishing out at Calaveras again. This trip was more fruitful than the last few trips. I caught eight nice catfish, they were biting steady all morning. Fished using just worms and blood bait.

mmm. . .catfish.

SALTWATER FISHING IN DECEMBER NEAR CORPUS CHRISTI TX IS TOUGH

Steve Baxter and I went to Ingleside Navy Yard this weekend and had a good time fishing and checking out the restraunts in Ingleside, but didn't catch any fish worth keeping. We did manage to find a good place to buy fresh shrimp, so it wasn't a totally wasted trip.

A common pose, waiting for the fish to bite.


There were many large ships coming through the area, Ingleside is a deep water port.

We had plenty of sun and good weather, but not much in the way of fishing action.

Steve catches the only fish of the weekend, a monster catfish weighing in at about a pound.

mmm, catfish
