some buddies and I went to Lake Amistad in texas for some fishing. One of the guys was crossing a cove going about 70 in his boat and almost t-boned a flying turkey.
Amistad is an Awsum lake. had a blast and wish we had more time on it. Some guys are still there.
we left wednesday around 2pm got to the lake at 8am thursday AZ time ( we stopped alot
)
fished till 4pm and caught some fish just tourned the lake a tad.
That lake is so calm its unbelievable. running 70+ is cake for miles.
friday, we caught something like 30-40 fish all on water melon red fleck lizzards, the first ones were yamamoto 6" and I ran out we had 4 more packs of zooms, once they were done we didnt ge a bite even with brush hogs the same color. So my partner grabbed a chewed up lizzard he was hiding and fanagled it on and started catching fish lots of them.
we managed a 6.4, 5.7 and 4.7 something like that in about 2 hours for the big fish with a bunch of 3's and 2's thrown in
was windy( lake was still calm).
Friday night we heard that there was going to be 40-60mph winds and heavy rain.
Sat,
we awoked to some rain so went back to bed and it turned to a drizzle with no wind.
drove to a different ramp so we didnt get too wet and fished, some on blades and all the rest on water melon red 6" lizzards, no big ones all about 2-2.5 lbs. but we caught over 30 in a few hours. a few times it was every cast and we had a fish.
We fished till around 1pm and headed back to AZ.
those fish in Texas are really colorful and fight like no other bass I have ever caught. Actually it was fun to catch fish again.
I will be headed back soon I am sure.
heres a 6.4 I caught
the 5.7 I caught
my fishing partners 4.7
heres My fishing partner his son and I with a few we saved for a pic, I think we caught these in 20-30 mins.
