    Amistad Bass Report and PICS

    The last few days on Amistad we have had some nice fishing days. The wind has been cooperating and the fish are biting. Tx rigged 10-12" worms, xcite baits swimbaits, frogs, buzzbaits, and drop shot finesse worms have been the best bets. Stay near the grass with the grass close to deep drops producing the best fish. There are also fish on the deep drop ledges if you want to get away from the grass. Got to fish with a father and two sons (6&9 yr olds) duo on Sunday that was a lot of fun.

    I had a very large bass (10+lbs) on a swimbait yesterday...broke my rod on the hookset then tried to handline her in and ended up breaking the line. Could see her down in a tree but couldnt get her out. Had to watch her swim away after breaking the line. Here are a couple Amistad bass photos...

    Father and son strike early on a nice topwater fish (bad lighting on this photo for some reason).


    The 9 year old caught this 5lb Amistad bass on a Pop-R and got it in all on his own...He did a great job!!!


    Little brother got to get in on the action as well...


    Teddy from Anglers Tackle shop with an almost 6lb Amistad Bass...Doesnt he look excited!!!!


    And a couple more 5 pounders...




    If you want to get down to Amistad or Falcon give me a shout and well get after the south Texas bass!
