San Antonio 9/3 and 4
Hit San Antonio and gave a try at trolling from advice off of here. I trolled for about an hour around Bee Rock and the Dam. No hits. My boat overheated so I turned it off and luckily landed in a boil. Got a hit and missed it. Got my boat running and was gonna leave when I saw around 7 boats sitting in Harris Creek. Went and talked to them and they were chasing boils. So I followed along. We got into around 10 boils. My boat had problems starting fast enought to get into the boils. So although I saw around 10 nice ones get caught I was once again skunked. Temp was around 90 water temp 75. I did meet some very cool people who gave me some very valuable insight to SA stripers.
So, Wed. I wanted to go back, called my boy and told him what happened. We took his Procraft out to Harris Creek around 630pm. There were a few boats looking for boils not too many. It definitly wasnt as active as it was on Tues. There were alot of birds around the area. But no boils. Finally we get into a boil near Harris Creek, small one but nice. My boy heads over to it and as soon as he throws he hooks up. I throw right after and BAM! I get hit and hook a ****** hog.I accidentally grabbed the wrong rod, this was my 7' med action spin rod with only 8lb test. So I fight this pig for around 7 min and finally bring him in. I finally caught one of these awesome fish. best fishing day of my life . My boy caught another and then some jackass throttles over the boil killing it. Pretty much died right there. So we stayed another hour or so with nothing. We saw alot on the meter but no action.
Report:
Boated three fish Big Fish - 10 lbs 2 oz (mine) my boys were between 8-9 lbs each.
Temp was around 92, water temp 73. All fish caught on spoons. I kept all three to BBQ for tomorrows game. Chasing boils was the most adreline pumping fishing Ive done and Im hooked.
Thanks everybody for your advice.
