We need to get out onto the water, but the temperature is to high for comfort during the day. The moon will be just leaving the full phase, so we will have plenty of light.
Here is our current plan: Damon 7 Lakes from 1800 Friday to 0300 Saturday, fishing from a watercraft, the type depending on how many of us feel the need to be on the water.
There would be a $30/person guest fee for anybody willing to join in.

Steve Edwards, Tom Strawther and I headed to the scenic Guadalupe River for a fly fishing trip Feb.10-13. It was our first trip together this year. We normally have a trip or two earlier in the season, but life’s events just kept getting in the way. We decided to stay in a cabin at Hideout on the Horseshoe rather than our usual tent camping. It rained quite a bit Tuesday night, which confirmed our decision. We enjoy camping. But, not in the rain and mud!

Fishing from the shore, but kickboat, canoe, and/or kayak are quite successful.
Contrary to the name there are now nine different, unique lakes of good size that hold largemouth bass, tiger bass, catfish, black crappie, and bluegill. Catching bass in the three to five pound range is a normal occurrence. Twelve pound bass, decent channel cats, and twelve inch bream have been caught in the last four years.

The plan was to meet-up at 1000 and fish as long as we could.
The weather was perfect, and there was almost no wind.
Glenn, Paul, and Puck all were on the water by 1015. Glenn in a T120 with Paul and Puck in a 2-person pontoon.
Over 35 fish were caught. It was a mixture of LMB, bluegill, and redear.
Effective flies for the day were, a variation of the squirmy worm, STP frogs, spiders, and a few others.
The South Llano Trip is just over the horizon. We have only a small number of members signed up at this time. The Club has to pay for 2 cabins for 3 nights regardless of how many people come and stay. If married couples come, our host Nol, has offered us (couples) an additional place to stay. This annual Club trip is one of the few opportunities to get out to the Hill Country and to fish one of the most productive rivers in the State. 2023 year’s event was cancelled due to weather, so please consider making your plans ASAP.

Event: This is a multi-day kayak trip to Pointe Aux Chenes, Louisiana. This trip will be a pay-to-play trip, although you won’t have to pay at registration. My estimate of cost/person is approximately $200-250/person. Subject to change. Kayak WILL NOT be provided by the guide service, although they have some really nice fishing kayaks for rent. If you do not want to rent from the guide, you will need to bring your own.
Trip Description: Are you ready for an adventure that blends epic sci-fi thrills with the serene beauty of the coastal marsh? Look no further than our upcoming kayak fishing event guided by the legendary Capt. Eddie Mullen. This is an experience like no other!
As the sun rises over the otherworldly landscape of Pointe Aux Chenes, you’ll embark on a journey through bioluminescent grasses and shimmering waterways. Your kayak, equipped with state-of-the-art anti-gravity paddles, will glide effortlessly above the glowing water, immersing you in an environment teeming with fantastical creatures. Capt. Eddie, known for his cybernetic eye and captivating stories, will lead you into the heart of the marsh in his custom hover-kayak.
Feel the thrill as you and your fellow adventurers, a lively mix of weekend warriors and fly fishing jedis, paddle deeper into the mystical expanse. As you navigate the glowing green waters, you’ll be on the lookout for fabled giant redfish, said to be as large as a small spacecraft and twice as cunning. The excitement reaches its peak when you spy the colossal ripple that heralds the redfish’s arrival. Suddenly, the monstrous redfish charges, aiming to reverse the role of hunter-hunted! With lightning reflexes, you throw your fly into its gaping maw just in time. The ensuing battle is a Cajun slayride like no other, with the redfish pulling you through the ethereal marshland in a wild chase, creating memories and laughter that will last a lifetime.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to fish in a place where reality bends and legends are born. Sign up now for an adventure that promises to be out of this world!
