Austin Lake Fishing Trip

I went to Austin Lake hoping to catch smallmouth on topwater. It was another beautiful morning on the water and after making some adjustments I caught some bass.

I'm currently going through chemo so to get our boat in and out of the water is a little much. So, watching ya is as close as my wife and I can get to fishing at the moment. Keep it up. Thank you.

You are too generous with all you have to deal with right now. Wishing you a speedy recovery so you and your wife can get back to enjoying some fishing. I really appreciate the comment and support though. Thank you!

Can't beat a beautiful morning...

[@geezersbassin2567]

That’s half the reason to be out there before the sunrise.

[@darekchildress7648]

This was one of my favorite lakes growing up

[@geezersbassin2567]

For a few years it was mine too. I’ve fished it for over 20 years and still trying to figure it out.

[@darekchildress7648]

@geezersbassin2567 it definitely fishes differently than other lakes in the area

Bro I got a giant out of coldbrook yesterday evening 19 and 3/4 “ with a dang fat ole belly it was a dang tank! I got sone pictures. My girl is gonna get me a nice scale to weigh for a late b day gift. The Biggs are lurking. Caught several other smaller bass. And a big dogfish, that thing fought like crazy. Caught them on the tequila sunrise power worm, red eye shad, green and white chatterbait with green trailer

That's awesome! Nice job finding a giant there. Dogfish are fun to hook at fight but that's where the fun ends. In the boat they are about as bad as pike to me. I've still been finding a couple good fish on most of my trips so they are lurking like you said.

@@geezersbassin2567 ya bro that dog fish was not a fun thing to unhook I’m gonna probably head out there for a few hours in about a hr or do. It’s wild we don’t get fish like that in bama they got chain pickler which is basically a pike. But never seen a dogfish in person till yesterday. He smoked it too it was a chit show to unhook, thing had some smaller teeth 😂🙈😂🎣
