Cooling temps and clearer water have the spotted bass on a feeding frenzy. We have been catching stupid big numbers and quality up to 7 lbs . Now is a great time to book a trip. Any runoff from a rain will slow if not kill this bite.<br />

There are huge numbers being caught. This is a great trip for kids or experienced anglers who just want to beat on the fish. Any runoff from rain will kill this bite. Call now for a fun trip.

I am taking bookings now. Ducks are not here thick yet, but with each front they move closer and closer. JUst posted TPWD waterfowl regs on my Facebook page. Opening day is November 1. That's also opening day rifle season and I am booked solid<br />

Most of my hunters have had success. Our older bucks have peeled away from the younger bucks. My guess is one more cold front and we will see the front end of the rut starting, which is unusual and early, but mother nature and her weather drive that activity. It is a welcome sight. I have plenty of animals and stands. Check my website for pricing. Call to book a hunt.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Axis will be available by the end of the year. I'll have prices out by mid December. I should have 20 plus trophy axis bucks beyond 30 inches. Plenty of axis doe and 24 Elk and some Fallow.<br />

The river is holding a ton of grass. The last rise was not big enough to rip the grass up. I have seen some northern birds that broke and ran south off the last front we had. We need two or three more and the migration will be good and steady.<br />

Five of those also have box blinds on them. I also have 5 stands on another large ranch that are hand fed each day. If you don't have a lease or are just getting into bow hunting, give me a try. My success is your success. The only ways you wont get a shot are if you get busted or miss, because I have the animals.<br />

My hunters all took birds, but very few limits. I have heard of a few spotty limits being taken in central and northern parts of the county from our local game warden Drew Alexander. With each day the birds become more scarce, and this trend will continue until we have several good cold fronts. I am farming day hunts out to a friend in the San Marcus area as of today. He has good numbers for now.<br />

<br />
Doves I had a ton of birds back in June. However we have had three somewhat powerful and freaky cold fronts in July and August. As of this post my birds are gone. That can all change with one big weather system. As soon as they show I will blog and facebook to get the word out.<br />
<br />
I also offer evening rabbit hunts in December January and February.<br />
<br />
Ducks. Tons of grass in river. If mother nature will push the birds down duck season will be awesome.<br />
<br />
Turkeys Damn I have them Bastrop county is April only and a one gobbler county. TPWD needs to change our bag limits.<br />
<br />
Bass fishing Colorado river. February thru May are the best months to catch real good quality on the river. Lots of 3-8 lb fish caught during these months.<br />

Yes I said they have moved south. We have had 3 freaky mid summer cold fronts and they were just strong enough to push on the birds. I am hoping we have some more weather before the season starts. I will blog again as soon as I see them.<br />

<br />
Getting married to the best woman in the world this Saturday. That explains the lack of my blogging. I cant wait.<br />
<br />
I am very excited about the upcoming dove and archery only season. I have several ranches loaded with game for this year. Dove season opens September 1, which is a Monday and Memorial day. As of this post I do have some open spots for opening day.The second weekend is booked full. I charge $40 a gun. You cant beat that price anywhere.<br />
<br />
Bow season opens September 27. My stands My corn I put you in I pick you up I help you find your kill and help you clean it if you like. $50 sit fee. Kill fee on all animals. Doe are$250 and bucks start at $400 and go up. Pigs are $50 a piece and lord I have them. I have three ranches that I will offer rifle hunts on for bucks only as this county has antler restrictions and doe can only be taken in the archery only season unless TPWD grants me some MLD tags for doe.<br />
<br />
Deer--- Best fawn crop I have seen in 10 years. I have seen more twins than you can shake a stick at. Almost every mature doe has a little one with her<br />
<br />
Fish--- Lake Bastrop bass are schooling hard and will continue as long as the hot weather and bait hold up.<br />
<br />
Colorado River--- Most fisherman are struggling Hot weather and shallow water is tough unless you can cast to cover. I am still catching big numbers on top water and square bill crank baits with yellow bodies. This river trip is tons of fun. My river and lake trip half days are $300. I provide everything including water and cold fried chicken.<br />
<br />
If you want to experience the outdoors I have it and can put you on it<br />

River will muddy and rise for sure Channel cat will be on fire during the rise.<br />
<br />
Lake Bastrop fish are schooling better everyday. They are a bit finicky on what they will eat, but I have the bait.<br />
<br />
Axis---- Our axis will be ready to be harvested by bow or rifle by December at the latest<br />
<br />
White tail--- Bow season is my favorite. Nothing like pulling them in stupid close for a good shot. Lord I have the animals. Most of what I have is a meat hunt, but you cant beat my prices compared to anything else that has the success rate that my hunters have. Opening weekend will be booked by August. So call now if you want a spot.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pigs--- I got them thick. I feed them into two spots we sit in the brush and ambush them. Sometimes they ambush us. Makes for a real good time and damn good eating<br />

Still warm enough for them to school but not warm enough for them to go crazy. I see good activity from 9 to 11 and from 6 to dark in very selective places Great fun if you book a tripRobert Jenkins - Field Guidehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07655409052113892634noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4764782387297243973.post-4510831006889056122014-07-07T09:35:00.000-05:002014-07-07T09:35:41.911-05:007/7/14 Lake and river updateColorado river in Bastrop----- Last Thursday I had a river trip, and we went up river 12 miles. Clarity was just average. However, the crankbait bite was slamming good. The grasshoppers are mature, and the fish no it and are feeding on therm. Small yellow bellied square bill cranks is what they want now. We had 111 fish in 7 hours. This bite will remain strong as long as we don't have substantial rain to muddy the water.<br />
<br />
Lake Bastrop----- Schooling activity is picking up everyday. Don't waste your time beating the bank. Grab a spoon, small crank bait, or small Alabama rig and go offshore. Lately the fish seem to be up for an hour or two and then they are done. But with each passing 90 Plus degree day this activity will increase. My half day trips on the river or the lake can be very productive this time of year.<br />
<br />
<br />
PS I have tons of pigs for any of you that like to hunt them.<br />
<br />
<br />

I see way too many guys beating the bank and grass. Yes there are a few fish up shallow but most have followed the shad offshore and are now gorging themselves on a non stop buffet line. Some days the fish are not on top, but they are still offshore. Use your electronics to find them. A half once Cotton Cordell spoon works best. Take the factory hooks off that bait and replace them. You will hook up a lot more. My half day trips this time of year can be slamming good.<br />
<br />
<br />
Pigs---- Damn I have them and can put you on them. $50 to go $100 for first pig and every pig after that $50. Usually hunt from 6:30 to 10:30.<br />

It will sustain plant growth for the deer which will give us better antler growth for this upcoming season. The rain and mild temps make it easier on our local nesting morning doves to hatch their babies and raise them. Rain will muddy the river and make the catfishing excellent.<br />
<br />
Lake Bastrop--- The schooling activity has started. It will continue to get better every day especially on sunny low wind days. Call to book a trip.<br />
<br />
