another update from the Neche River - monday after noon

[gletemfeelsteelgary]

Hope I'm not upsetting anyone for posting a couple east Texas reports..

Gotta make it quick as I'm getting up early to hopefully re-peat...


Fished from about 3:30PM to 7pm

Got my brother in law on his 1st Hybrid Striper......topwater popper action....
(his 1st striper of any kind....really nice one too-pics will have to come tomorrow)

He asked me how to work this popper.....I schooled him on it.....

his next cast produced a small LMB....

about 10 casts later had him SUPER bendo and drag peelin on MR stripey.....cool to watch....

I ALSO Landed MY 1st Hybrid today as well...nice and solid unit but my brother in laws stripey was indeed bigger...but I am thrilled to have landed one today as that was one of my goals this trip out here (which wasn't really a fishing trip)

My brother Ray: 6 White Bass , 3 LMB
My brother in Law: 1 Hybrid Striper, 3 white bass
Me: 22 White Bass, 1 Hybrid Striper, 6 LMB, 1 real nice white crappie (struck aLC) 2 unidentified species I have yet to research)

Going back for one more shot....I pissed around today and got smoked downstream into a fallen log on a 2lb test rig and a marabou jig......

No regrets....I already knew it was bringing a knife to a gunfight....coulda landed em if the the fallen tree/log didn't rub into my line....I was workin em hard downriver but no hope after she ran down under the tree...
oh well, it was fun for about 5 minutes !

anyways....I'll work on some pics tomorrow when I return.......

Maybe cutbait will add the few phone pics I sent but I took more regular camera pics today

Hope your all doing well out there in Cali......

Well,,,,,,,if smoke hound is right,,then i guess i am RETARTED,cause i AM from TEXAS,,,,,,,I just hope that <ASUMING HE,S RIGHT> the last 20 yrs in CALI has taken some of the RETARDTEDNESS out of me.

I wonder??????? occasionally when i go back to visit family,,Do i get RETARTED all over again???

Man i sure hope not!
