Bow Season update

Bow season is in full swing. 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.



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.

Outdoor Update08/07/14

Wow

Getting married to the best woman in the world this Saturday. That explains the lack of my blogging.  I cant wait.

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.

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.

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

Fish---  Lake Bastrop bass are schooling hard and will continue as long as the hot weather and bait hold up.

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.

If you want to experience the outdoors I have it and can put you on it

Day Dove Hunts Bastrop

I have one tract that has good numbers of birds. $40/gun   5 gun minimum  12 gun max.  Opening day is Monday September 1 and it is booked

Lake Bastrop fish have started schooling

It has started as I projected it would. About 9:30 the bass started their annual schooling. Today was slow, and with every hot day that goes by more and more fish will join in.   There is not abetter time to book a lake trip with me than right now. Lake Bastrop fish school better than on any other lake I have ever seen

Lake Bastrop update

Lake Bastrop fish are very close to a full blown schooling pattern. Side scan and down scan have been showing tons of suspended fish. This same pattern happens every year when our fish leave the grass.  They will suspend for a week to three weeks, then it happens. Some of the best schooling activity if not the best in the state is about to start. My prediction---  Next day that we have little or no wind there will be schoolies to be caught. I am watching them closely.

Lake Bastrop update

The bass on Lake Bastrop are in a transition period right now. They are moving off the grass headed offshore. There has been some schooling activity as of this post. Windy days will knock the schooling activity down until the majority of these fish are offshore and feeding hard. Good electronics and knowledge of spoon fishing is what you need this time of year. I offer full,half, and evening trips.

2014/2015 Deer season

I now have 3 really good ranches with excellent numbers of doe and some good antlers for the upcoming bow season. Two of those ranches I will have rifle hunts on when the general season opens, and I should have some MLD permits for doe. I can accommodate 20 hunters a day. Opening weekend is always full. So , if you want a spot, I am taking bookings now.  I give my hunters the best possible chance to harvest an animal. Your success is my success. I give my hunters 2-3 hours in the morning and the same in the evening. $50 sit fee kill or no kill per day. Kill fees on all animals including pigs. You will save a ton of money hunting with me rather than paying for a lease, fuel, corn, stands, food, and so on.


Axis will be ready to hunt by December. Our pricing on these animals has not been set yet. I will only have doe available this year.

6/15/14 River update

Last rains brought the river up a couple feet. It got muddy and the channel cat turned on real good. River is falling now and will stay stained for a while. Bass fishing on river will be slow until we get some clarity back. The grass is growing like crazy, and I predict that the river will not be navigable before the end of summer barring some large rain event that brings us a big rise.

Colorado river fishing update 6/11/14

The river has cleared up pretty good. Last storms missed us. If you have any pitching and flipping skills this river trip is for you. Most of the fish are buried up in the shade. The spots are still thick on rock with moving water. Book a trip with me before the river grasses over. You wont regret it.

6/08/14 River update

River through Bastrop is still a bit stained. Hot daytime temps have pushed the bass very tight to cover.  We are stillcatching good numbers and quality, but you have to have some good pitching and flipping skills if you want to catch these river fish right now.  Fished Webberville and up yesterday. We had 30 fish up to 5 lbs, but we worked very hard to catch what we had.

Lake Bastrop--- Fish are very close to schooling and most have moved offshore. I here a lot of guys saying," What happened to the bite"   The bite is still there. Most fishermen wont follow the fish. They get stuck in the rut of this worked last time so it will work this time.  Wrong.   Water temp on Lake Bastrop dictates what the shad do which dictates what the fish will do. Current surface temp is 90 degrees, and that is the number that will push the shad off the grass and the fish will follow. A good guide with good electronics van put you on them

Lake Bastrop report 6/03/14

Lake Bastrop surface temp is 88-90 degrees as of this post. The lake has warmed 10 degrees in 10 days. The bass are moving off the grass fast. If you want to catch Lake Bastrop fish start looking deep, especially in the heat of the day. Early and late you can catch em shallow. Ourschooling activity is about to start. When the water hits that 90 degree mark, the shad really start moving out and the fish are with them.  It takes local knowledge of the lake and good electronics to find the big schools in deep water. Carolina rigs and spoons are the best way to target these deep fish. I offer half day trips and 3 hour evening trips for one or two people.

Pig Hunts Bastrop county

Pigs   I have them and they are thick. I feed them in on two different spots  I set you up in brush or blind depending on the wind. Then we whack em  Ill gut skin and quarter your kill . I will not clean big boar hogs as the meat is just nasty. $50 sit fee regardless of kill or not. $100 for first pig and $50 for every pig after the first one.  Tons of fun and damn good eating.

5/26/14 river update

Nice soaking rains are falling as we speak. The river will surely muddy up in the next day or so. Channel cat and yelowcat fishing will be real good. For all you guys that hole fish, most of our big females are in the holes now. I do offer rod and reel trips for channel cat as well as over night yellow cat trips.

Big Fish tourney is next weekend Friday 30 --- June 1  Call me for details


Fish hard

PS  Lake Bastrop is on fire. I am catching real good numbers on light Carolina rigs just outside the grass and on rock out in front of the grass

5/22/14

River in Bastrop is clearing fast. The bite is back on. Rain is forecast for Monday and Tuesday which could possibly muddy the river again. Grass is my main concern. The river will not be navigable within 6 weeks without some substantial rises.


Big Fish tourney is May 30,31, and June 1  Call me for details

Lake Bastrop Report 5/20/14

Black bass on Lake Bastrop are excellent. Surface temp is 76 degrees which is cooler than normal due to the power plant not generating as much. A light Carolina rig with any finesse bait in any shade of green will sack them up. Fish are on the edge of grass and on rock in front of the grass. Not many fish have moved offshore yet. The schoolies will show up, but I really think it will be much later this year than in past years as the water is just not warm enough to drive the shad and fish offshore. Lake Bastrop is a great lake for numbers. I offer full,half, and evening trips. Call,text,email, facebook oir check my website for prices.

Pigs and Axis

If its pigs your after I have them. $100 for first pig and $50 for every pig after the first one.  I have them fed into two different spots. Most of my hunters take them with AR's or AK's , but with a little notice I can set up a bow shot. Its getting hotter and the pigs are moving later and later.

Axis,  I have a herd started on a big ranch in southern Bastrop county. Our doe are dropping first round of babies now. This herd will be ready to hunt by end of this year by bow or rifle. Contact me for pricing

5/17/14 River update

The river in Bastrop has dropped back down to normal flow. It is muddy but clearing fast. Channel cat are good on rod and reel with milk worms fished in moving water with gravel bottoms. The rain we had knocked the water temp down about 10 degrees. It will warm fast with 90 degree temps as far as the weather man can see. Grass remains our biggest problem. It is at the surface and growing fast. Its just a matter of time before the river grasses over and is not navigable. Large rises in the river are the only thing that will help.
