      Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to. My week is pretty booked right between honey do lists and meeting old friends from work for lunch. I am leaving ...more next week open though so maybe we could hook up sometime then.

      Hopefully this winter brings us some rain. Are they still opening at 6?

      It's getting pretty low. They are still drawing it down, I'm seeing parts of the lake I haven't seen in years

      Nice!!! Man I wish I had the time to make it to del Valle. You sure got them figured out. How's the water level looking.

  3. Caught two smallys today before it started getting too warm

    1 lb. 9 oz. 13 in. Smallmouth Bass with a topwater popper

  4. Caught this striper this morning in a nice quite cove on Del Valle. Was just settling in when two a--holes blow into the cove at full speed. Then started fishing ...more ten feet from me. I figured they scared everything away so I left. As I was leaving I saw a striper jump, threw out the popper and caught the second four pounder, right in front of them. A little sweet revenge to those rude fisherman. People, be considerate to your fellow fisherman, give people their space, don't horn in on someone's spot and pick up after yourselves.

      Yeah. Spent a lot of time there. Good lake for numbers and my quick fishing fix. Going to be pretty sad when they drain it next year.

      Dude, you seem to have Anderson lake figured out real good as well!
    3. Eric Torio 0
      Nice. Nothing beats some good topwater action. It never gets old!!! Great job. You got that place figured out. Such a nice lake. Wish I was a little closer ...more to it.
