ever kayak fished the San Marcos river?

Caleb Christensen - 7 years ago

You do know that Hydrilla is an invasive species right? It's not native to the lower colorado river. Meaning its a bad thing that It has it in the river.

Brandon Villanueva - 7 years ago

Crazy seeing a video of you literally in my backyard. I grew up there and my mother still lives just outside the park gates. I spent many days at that boat ramp. Little webberville park to big webberville park might have been a better option. 3 to 4 hours depending on current.

Carson Conklin - 8 years ago

Great fishery. I guide trips down there in a big boat. Let me know if you want to come out again! 512-970-5001

This reminds me of some local adventures I've been on. Sometimes you get skunked, but that has never stopped me. I enjoy seeing you get off the lakes and into the skinny water I'm used to here in central MA. I use a retractable motor on my kayak to go from point A to B. Saves the legs and arms and doesn't get hung up. Keep the adventures coming!

The Lone Fisherman - 8 years ago

That first bass looked like it might have been a hybrid between a guad and a smallmouth. If it was a true guad, then it was a hell of a fish lol

Ellopez05 - 8 years ago

You need to redeem yourself on the Colorado. 16 miles is too long of a stretch to do in one day, you'll spend most of your time paddling instead of fishing. During the summer months you can do the 9 mile stretch by launching off of 71 and 183, then pulling out right off of 973 and 71 near the airport. This is a common 12 hour Saturday trip for us local guys since you drift along with minimum paddling and still have time for an hour lunch break/swim. My favorite spot on the Colorado is actually between 973 and Toll road 130, it's about a 1/2 mile stretch but you have open deep water for cranking or throwing out flukes. It's also filled with thick hydrilla in some spots for those top water frogs. Hit up some local guys for more info next time, most of us would be happy to help.

Ellopez05 - 8 years ago

+Parth Venkat yea and to be honest, I'm not sure the impact the flood and flow will have on fishing. I imagine it cleaned out all the grass. I will say this, make sure you do pack some kind of top water lure, those guads are aggressive and sure to hit it.

Parth Venkat - 8 years ago

Thanks but i'm seeing the same thing. They've lowered it a lot (from 24k to 7k) which is the top of "safe" as far as american whitewater is concerned but that still seems high for us. I'm also in a raft which is more stable but also not as well locked in. Smart advice on the PFD if we do do it (will have to be legal and lower).

Ellopez05 - 8 years ago

+Parth Venkat in not sure it's been cleared for the public. You might to check that first. LBL opened up at noon today but I haven't heard anything about the lower Colorado. I think it may still be flowing too hard, and it would just depend on your kayak and fitness level. I haven't been out there recently and will probably give it another week or two before I do go. My kayak is too heavy and is not the easiest to paddle. If you do decide to go, just keep your PFD on. Too many fatalities happening right now with all the flow.

Parth Venkat - 8 years ago

that's the stretch i hope to do Saturday, any idea what flow's the highest you'd take it at? Taken from 100 to 3k and had a blast (more rafting than fishing at the top) wondering if 5 or 6k would be safe.

Evan carlson - 8 years ago

swaggito66 - 9 years ago

+Andrew Janes same haha

Andrew Janes - 9 years ago

+swaggito66 Yeah dude, it's like 70 miles from me. lol. And I'm not sure if it's great for shore fishing. I don't have a boat. And the majority of people who have really good days there are from boats.

swaggito66 - 9 years ago

+Andrew Janes ya haha, candlewood is pretty far

Andrew Janes - 9 years ago

+swaggito66 The Connecticut River is good if you can find some spots. Most of the awesome spots are either in western parts or eastern parts. I feel your pain, I'm in Hartford county as well. North of hartford lol

swaggito66 - 9 years ago

+Andrew Janes you know any good fishing near hartford county?

Nicholas Martino - 9 years ago

+Andrew Janes nice man, Indiana is great for small mouth during the fall.

Andrew Janes - 9 years ago

+swaggito66 I'm in CT too. Lol there are some really good places. Candlewood lake is top 15 lakes in the country for Smallmouths. There's some massive ones in there. Also some DD largemouth. One of the best spots in CT IMO

Nicholas Martino - 9 years ago

+swaggito66 I bet that sucks

swaggito66 - 9 years ago

try being in connecticut

Bob Henning - 9 years ago

I live in Indiana I feel like we catch a lot of fish just not the sizes they have down south.

Nicholas Martino - 9 years ago

+Matt Smith Indiana is not bad, just doesn't have as big of fish as Florida, Alabama, Texas, and etc.

Alec Colon - 9 years ago

Fished two years at Lake Austin, horrible off shore fishing. 90+ degrees, all kinds of baits and worms, nothing worked. only caught a few

RC COOL - 9 years ago

I have fished that river twice ! Once with a guide and me and my brother caught like 39 bass.A couple of cats and a few white bass! I went on my own and caught 20 whites and 10 other bass .Its a good river to fish but you really need a boat.Bank fishing for cats can be good there too! I liked your film.You are honest and din't bs us! Some time you catch fish and other times you catch sun! I use my 14.3 Jackson Big Tuna with 55 trolling motor with my two dogs.Good times!!!!!

My cousin I started kayak river fishing last year. The same thing happened to us. It started getting dark and we had to put the rods up and paddle to get out before dark. This year I am going to carry some overnight supplies in my kayak; just in case. Loved the vid.

texasriveradventures - 10 years ago

The river is completly different then any lake ive ever fished. Its not uncommon to go out and catch 50 fish in a day but a little rain will absolutely kill the bite. Where did y'all put in and take out at?

jtboll00 - 11 years ago

Nasty Habit Baits - 11 years ago

Like the video's man! I'm a fellow yak fisherman myself and there is no better way to fish. Has anyone ever told you look like Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons? Lol I'm a Falcons fan by the way.

Jacob Ellis - 11 years ago

I went to Bastrop in April and fished this river. The water was really clear and I didn't think I'd catch anything but I ended up catching a limit everyday. What surprised me most was there were smallmouth in here. Throw red eye shads and 1/2 oz football jigs

all that hard work getting out there and you didnt even keep em to eat later????

Chase Little - 11 years ago

Thanks dude

LakeForkGuy - 11 years ago

Not at all. College fishing is a club sport so it is as easy as signing up and getting involved with the club. From there you will usually have to qualify through your college club to go and fish those televised events you probably have seen.

Chase Little - 11 years ago

Hey man just asking from some one who has experience when you get into college that has a good bass fishing program is it difficult to get involed in the collegiate tounaments?

LakeForkGuy - 11 years ago

it was about an 8 hours deal

LakeForkGuy - 11 years ago

Yeah! On the Road as usual!

LakeForkGuy - 11 years ago

It's a club sport that operates like many of the other clubs there. There is an adviser but the club is run by the anglers. It is also one of the oldest fishing clubs in the country. The club pairs up boaters and non boaters and has 4 tournaments per semester. It is a lot of fun and there is no try outs, all levels of fishermen are in the club so there is a lot of knowledge passes around.

JerkBaitAddict - 11 years ago

What kind of kayak do you have? I'm looking in to buy one. Any leads will be greatly appreciated.

Loonytik - 11 years ago

When float fishing in a kayak you can figure on roughly 2 miles an hour in most normal flows.(i.e. when there's not a big release or heavy rainfall runoff). I usually calculate 1.7 miles/hour when fishing. Over that 16 miles I would have estimated 10-11 hours which would have left time for plenty of fishing, resting, and having lunch. How long did the trip take? Great video....better luck next time on the bass.
