Ranch Road Fix August 2015

In the spring of 2015, the floods took out the road in the creek bed.  We rented a backhoe and built a new road around the areas that were washed out.

Warrior Weekend 9

Austin Woods and Waters Members, Kevin McConnell, Mike Curran, Dave Repkia and Jim Baylor were 2 of 450 boats that participated in Warrior Weekend #9 in Port Oconner Texas.  900 Soldiers were brought in from around the country to go fishing for the day.

Pictures Here

On Sunday Morning Dave and Mike cashed in their service points.

Dave caught his personal best trout of 28.5″.  And that was after all those boats were out on Sat.

Mike caught a 25″ trout.

On Friday before the event, Kevin caught a limit of red fish in the same spot Dave caught his trout.

Fayett Bass Fishing April 29, 2015

Fished with Greg Marberry and Doug Mierl.  Put 31 in the boat with many more strikes and tail dancers / spits.   Some pics of a few of the fish.  25 years ago I fished Fayett and caught 21  on a purple lizard using a 4 piece spinning/fly rod.  I have never been able to recreate that day until this trip.  Using the same bait and rod, I caught them in the same spot using the same combination.
