Catfishing on the Red River - Part 10

[ersel]

Here are some pics they were within 50' of the house.

[ladyfish50]

Great pictures, Ersel. You're never gonna be able to keep Adam in the house!!

[mandisue13]

hey ersel:

KERPOW!!!!!!!!

ahhh, the smell of gunpowder.

[Cheryl]

Here are some pics they were within 50' of the house.

Ersel,

I thought spot lighting deer was illegal in all states........:lol:

Just redneckin' you, thanks for sharing the pics!

Take care.
Cheryl

[mandisue13]

ok, so i am on the kamode doing my thing when i hear something hit the roof....BONK...then you hear something slide. then i hear BONK again followed by a small sqeal.

i think it is just a limb that fell on the metal roof...ok i can finish. so i do. i go outside to smoke a well deserved smoke and i hear a much louder squeal....so i figure a baby rabbit got eat by an owl or the hawk that likes to terrorize the wildlife. then i think...OH baby bird...and i start looking. i see something dangling off the side of the trailor...right on the edge of the roof....looks like the biggest lizard i ever seen....till i see fur. a baby squirell hanging on for dear life. then i see something on the ground...another baby squirell.....so we get them inside and the one is having little siezures.....and had a bad bloody nose...that is the one that was on the ground....i think that was the loud first BONK i heard. the other jumps on david and surprises him. he seems ok. so i give them a little canned milk with sugar mix i use for puppies and the bloody one takes it but the other one just gets mad. the little bloody one is in love with david and only wanted him to hold it. finally get it in the plastic tub with the other and they nestle in the sheet for the night....so off to the pet store tomorrow for a kitten nurser....they have teeth buds and i would think in about 2 weeks they are big enough to go out on their own....we will take it one step at a time...isaac named them Mighty (the one that hung on the roof) and Mac (it hit like a mac truck)....actually i think their names are from some cartoon. wish them luck!@

[Cheryl]

Awwww, how sweet! I've had baby rabbits like that, but no baby squirrels. When I was about Isaac's age, a neighbor lady used to let them in her screened porch, thru the trees jutting in the porch.

Best of luck with them, Amanda, David and Isaac!

Hug each other,
Cheryl

P.S. Don't forget to take pics!

[ar_confederate]

Great pictures Ersel. I have to tell ya'll though, you're all getting me to go house hunting!

Good luck with the new babies Amanda. Keep us up dated on their progress.

Did I ever tell anyone how glad that I am that we all get along with each other? Thank you all. This is truly a great group!:big_smile:

[cuttingout69]

We have a good group and we have fun doing the things we do rather it be jugging,trot lining, or fishing with rod and reel.Look forward to our tournament..:big_smile:

Well, I don't know about all that, Ty tends to get on my feelings some times with all that 24 hr rod and reeling he dose. Let one Texan come over here and rod and reel and he wipes out the catfishing pop. ever where he's been. Yep, can't fish behind Ty. :big_smile:

[mandisue13]

well, the babies lived through the night and now are at the cypress zoo/rehab place since i am not licienced to keep them over 48 hours.

i miss the little boogers already. oh BTW the new marina is OPEN

Oh, so I guess I broke the law with the one I keep for three week after the the storm a month ago? Oh well, we keep a baby tree rat for about three weeks. I let him go at my Mom's house. She is feeding him and his buddies now. He made friends quick. I just hope Mom dose not get a hunger for mullagan. :ooooh:

[David Knotts]

Amanda just thinks I took them squirrels to the zoo. They sure was TENDER.:tounge_out: lol

[BullDaddy]

Another thread for the archives!

[sgt_rob]

i've ben on the old site reviewing all our roots. The really old history was destroyed back around May 2005 but it is cool to read how the rednecks got started with the first gathering and all. There is fishing history there because we used to discuss "fishing" on this thread.:lol:

I'm going to start a log book and try and keep up with the important stuff in it. It is a shame the old data has been deleted but I suppose there are a few years ahead of us to gather more.

[mandisue13]

well, i was told in an email a while ago by a rehaber that i could have kept it with intent to release. who knows. i just dont have the set up and they were not on hard solids yet...several rehabers refused to take them because they dont have space or time. maybe next time i will just keep them.

[David Knotts]

Does any body ever fish any more?lol

[ar_confederate]

Well, I may not fish a lot but just wait until May 4th!!!!! Fish around the clock!

[ar_confederate]

Cheryl, have you decided if you can come to our gathering? We sure would love to have you here.

[cuttingout69]

I am still trapping. I hope to fish this weekend though. Sorry, I am pre tourney fishing though, can't give any details out right now.

[ar_confederate]

Tony, you know that I would never use any information that you give me against you in the tournament. You also know that I need all the help I can get! Please don't let the women beat me again!:ooooh:

[Alsey]

I'm going to run my noodles and put out my trotline for the tournament Saturday. Do any of yall remember the approximate time of year last year that we were all doing so well with the noodles?

[David Knotts]

Rob, you still catchin any flatheads? Or are you bein like me, don't ask, and don't tell.lol

[cuttingout69]

Tony, you know that I would never use any information that you give me against you in the tournament. You also know that I need all the help I can get! Please don't let the women beat me again!:ooooh:

You’re asking me for help. I got skunked last tourney. Carmen put it on me in a bad way. I did not even have a fish to weight and she had that big ole pile of them. :crazy: You might want to see if you can find some good fishing tips out from Carmen or Roxie. They seem to know how to win tourneys.

[bassadict69]

Does any body ever fish any more?lol

A couple more weeks to the end of the semester then it is time to break out my noodles & head to the river. I am taking the summer semester off from school so I should have lots more time to fish.

A buddy of mine has been a couple of times the last couple of weekends & done really well on his noodles using shad for bait! I am ready to get after them myself!

[cuttingout69]

Rob, you still catchin any flatheads? Or are you bein like me, don't ask, and don't tell.lol

trust me, Rob does not believe in don't ask don't tell. But on the other hand if he told you he may have to kill ya. :big_smile:

[wareagle]

I can't even remember how to get to the river.

[David Knotts]

I can't even remember how to get to the river.

Thats good!!!!!!!lol

[wareagle]

Thats good!!!!!!!lol

that's mean man.:lol:

[ladyfish50]

James, good to see you back on here, & hope to see you on the river some, too!
Jim, I think it was in May, maybe late May?? I'm not sure, but it seems like it was after the tourney, wasn't it? :roll_eyes:Anybody...Ersel, Catsmith? Y'all remember?
Tony....sneeky, sneeky.....as usual!:lol:
Oh, and guys......I remember the way to the river!!!:006:

[Buddrice]

I'm going to run my noodles and put out my trotline for the tournament Saturday. Do any of yall remember the approximate time of year last year that we were all doing so well with the noodles?

Our tournament was at the end of May and it was after that when we started fishing noodles,sometime during June..:big_smile:

[ersel]

We did good from June til time to get the deer lease ready.

[catsmith1]

We did good from June til time to get the deer lease ready.



I Guess this year it will be from June till the really hot place?:ooooh:

[David Knotts]

Roxie, can you get there without Buddy drivin you there?:tounge_out: lol

[ersel]

I checked my trail cam at the new house and had 145 pics in two days. All were deer with a couple of coon and deer. I am going to move it away from the house this weekend and see what I come up with.

[mandisue13]

i am going to ask yall to go to the religious forum and go to the baby ethan thread. i need your help. if any of you think your church or place of employment could host a donor drive, please let me know.

BTW have yall been following the holiday in dixie clues?

[sgt_rob]

Rob, you still catchin any flatheads? Or are you bein like me, don't ask, and don't tell.lol

Like Tony said David, I don't believe in "Clinton's Rule". As far as the Flatheads go...
:0a37: :cross: :0a23:

[gooboy]

I'm back home again!!!!!! Didn't get to stay home last weekend but about 10 hours before we headed to south La. for a week of schools. Gona work on my boat today, then head to the river tommorrow!!!!! Carmen is headin for the races tommorrow night, but I'll be FISHIN"!!!!!!:big_smile:

[wareagle]

Did you say you were home 10 min. or 10 hours? Just messin with ya we are glad your home.:lol:

[Alsey]

I hope a bunch of you get to go fishing this weekend. I'm not positive but I think the catfishing might be slap on fire. I went for a little while after work and came home with 6 nice filet sized blues, had one lunker break the line and released one about 8 pounds. I released a channel cat that was right in the slot I was fishing for because Eric says they taste bad and I was running out of room in my ice chest. Eric, I caught 2 nice goos. I'm running about 20 noodles south of Teague starting at around 9 tomorrow morning. If any of yall see me stop by and give me a shout. My noodles are light blue.

[sgt_rob]

I just put out a short 7-hook line and Tony is out dropping hooks off everything in sight right now. With the projected rise in the river this weekend we just might put a little meat in the freezer.:big_smile:

[catsmith1]

I wanted to drop a line and shout out for a local business that went over and beyond. Me and Ersel went to Coushada (sp?) to look at something that Ersel will definatly tell you about. We got to Stevens Tractor about 25 minutes after closing and "MOM" opened shop and helped me for about 45 minutes finding parts for my 1953 Ford Jubilee and turned me into a customer for life.:big_smile:

If you need anything for Tractors give them a call. Definatly worth the drive if they have it. I saved about 100 bucks total. (sounds like a woman doesn't it?)

[sgt_rob]

That is RARE for sure. I'm glad businesses like that are still around.

If I can get Tony up we will go check our hooks and start cleaning fish. That boy can sleep!

[WildWillie]

Sounds like we came home about the time the fishing is gonna get good. I like fishing in the gulf, as you don't never know what you're gonna reel in, but dang, those folks are happy when they fish all day and get three or four fish. Time to check the hooks on the noodles, and get'em ready.

Will

[ratherbracin]

Will, are you and the missus gonna join us next weekend? I sure would like to meet ya'll....:smile2:

[ratherbracin]

Oh, and guys, I remember where the river is too.................

[Cheryl]

Cheryl, have you decided if you can come to our gathering? We sure would love to have you here.

Can't make it this time, due to the birth of kittens that I have to bottle feed, at least for a couple more days. The story is in High Intensity. This is a fine example as to why I don't make plans for anything. If you are squeamish, don't even go there.

Sorry, perhaps next time.
Take care.
Cheryl

P.S. I'll try to remember to call during the tourney, TO CHECK ON THE WOMEN AND give them a VOTE OF CONFIDENCE! Y'all have fun!

[Alsey]

I went and ran noodles with a friend for about 6 hours. I lost count but I've got one and a half ice chests full of cats. They were almost all between 2 and 4 pounds. All blues except 2 channel cats. It was great until about noon then the pleasure boaters and jet skis cranked up. We caught them in the shallows, in the deep spots, against the rocks, didn't seem to matter where we dropped them.

You did alot better than I did. Went this morning about 9:30 and chunked cast net till 10:30. When I caught my first one I would have gave sombody a high five but I was the only one there. So I chuncked some more and ended up with enough to fish with. But I fished deep and shallow and just caught a few and no size to them. Alsey how deep were you fishing your jugs?

[ladyfish50]

Oh, and guys, I remember where the river is too.................
:big_smile_2::byebye::surrender::haha::0a27:

[ladyfish50]

Way to go, Jim! Sounds like you did awesome! Can you put up a picture of them?
Will, sure would love to have you come join us next weekend...think about it.
Cheryl, only you could have something like newborn kittens come up at the last minute!:lol:
Rob....ahhhh, the shad chef. (Maybe we shouldn't try anything Rob cooks, unless we watch it "start to finish"!):crazy:
Robert, I think we've been to that tractor place; you're right, they're really good people. Yep, glad to hear there are still business folks like that around!
We took our grandkiddos to the Caldwell Zoo in Tyler today. We had a blast! They were so good! We were there about 2 1/2 hrs, and the weather was beautiful. If any of you have never been, you should go! My favorite was the baby giraffe....so cute! Their reptile exhibit & the penguins are great, too. And Eric, they've got some of those "adorable" little otters, too.
Breanna's favorite part??? Playing in an old Ford pickup turned into a kids play area/sandbox!!! Figures....! I'll let Buddy post some of the pictures. Of course, I made wwaaaayy too many, I'm sure! Oh, and David, I looked & looked, but I never did find Isaac!!:lol:
My son has finally made it home from his longest truck trip so far...about 5wks! That boy has been ready to get home! It's his & Sherry's 9th anniversary, so they're spending some time together for a night or two! He said he hopes he doesn't make a run that long again for awhile. He's been to Washington State, California, then Utah, & back down to Texas.....getting Lots of driving time!!:big_smile:

[Alsey]

Hey Dewayne, I've got 22 noodles and they're all the standard redneck depth (3-5 feet). We tightlined with 4 rods out between running the noodles and only caught dinks.

[WildWillie]

We spent the day catering to the kids and grandkids. We brought back some hermit crabs for the kiddos, so we had to build a place to keep them. Then we had to shell and de-vein 5 lbs of shrimp. I fried them up along with seasoned fries. I must say, they came out delicious. We bought "panko" out at Aransas Pass, and it is so great to bread shrimp with. I look forward to catfish fillets breaded with it. BTW, I'll have to get over on the tournament thread and see what is going on. I've been online very little the last month, and haven't kept up with things. I'll have to talk to the missus about getting over that way.

Jim, sounds like you're catchin' lots of fish. Sure makes me want to hit the river.

Will

[Buddrice]

Thanks Jim,my grandson was reading over my shoulder and after reading your post he informed me that, we were running noodles tomorrow morning out of Teagues..:big_smile:

[mandisue13]

You guys, I am going AWOL for a while. I know you have prolly seen on the news or in the paper the story about Ethan Powell who at 8 weeks old was diagnosed with leukemia and was given a 15% chance to live. Well, it has dropped to less than 3%. I am a PR volunteer for the cause of getting Oprah to run a story and getting donor drives set up.

If you can go to the general conversation area you will see the post i made. Please help me. I need people who can print the letter to Oprah and sign it, and also make copies to take to work and ahve them signed.

I actually have a contact for the Oprah show locally and will hear this week hopefully. they seemed very intrested to get them on ASAP.

So I may not post much on here at all. May pop in every once in a while.
if you go to www.ethanpowell.com (http://www.ethanpowell.com) you can see ethan and his family and read the daily updates from his dad.

Wow...18 fish in two hours...sounds like you wore em out! I seen ya'll going down Hwy 80 this morning & figured they must not have been biting with you going home so early...Guess I was wrong!

2 more weeks til fishing time for me!!

[sgt_rob]

We caught 8 cats all weekend. 4 dinks that were thrown back, 1 8lb Flathead, 2 blues 1 & 12lb and 1 1lb Channel.

It was slow going for us. We will be back out this afternoon gathering bait for the tournament. At least the bream are biting a little.

[David Knotts]

Chad welcome to the club. Think I'm gona go catch some bream today.

[gooboy]

Welcome to the site Chad!!!

Me and Carmen took a friend of ours and his kid yesterday. We bream fished from 10 till 2:30. It was tough to start with. All of the old beds from last year were mossed up. Finally located a couple really big beds around lunch time. We ended up bringin' home 221 big bluegill and redears!!! We fried up a pile last night. They sure was good!!!!

See yall in a couple days!!!!!!:smile2:

[ar_confederate]

I went yesterday morning for a couple of hours out on Dorcheat. Found a slough that had a few nice cats in it. Caught 2 nice channels, one about 7 lbs and the other about 5. Only thing they would bite on was nightcrawlers though. Sure looking forward to Friday!

[David Knotts]

I went down to Clarks today, didn't catch very many bream, but had a blast bein on the river, looks like it's commin up fast.

[Alsey]

Here's the forcast for the river at Teague. They've revised it two feet higher since yesterday.

http://ahps.srh.noaa.gov/ahps2/hydrograph.php?wfo=shv&gage=svpl1&view=1,1,1,1,1,1

[sgt_rob]

We took the little boat out yesterday and got a big suprise when we saw how high the river was now. Our bream spots were all hidden so we only caught 10, our bream basket is WAY under water so they are out of reach and so are the two lines I have out already. I might could have reached them with a pole but didn't bring it. I'll have to come up with a different plan for this weekend; maybe noodles and poco blood pumpers.

[ar_confederate]

I can hardly wait. I woke up this morning and for a moment thought that it was THE DAY. When is everyone planning on arriving?

[gooboy]

Carmen, Ty, Debbie, and myself will be at Clark's starting Wednesday afternoon. With us starting fishing so soon, do you think anyone would mind if we brought in fish to the weigh-in that are filleted, bagged, and froze????:cool2:

[WildWillie]

Carmen, Ty, Debbie, and myself will be at Clark's starting Wednesday afternoon. With us starting fishing so soon, do you think anyone would mind if we brought in fish to the weigh-in that are filleted, bagged, and froze????:cool2:

that is, if I make it over, get to do the weighing, and keep all the fish for evidence. Just in case any questions should arise later, I could check my freezer to verify the results.

Have fun,
Will

PS You gonna fish in the rain? Dang forecast don't look too good to me.

[David Knotts]

I got a new game, called log dodgein in the river. Did you know them logs like to ride just under the water, then pop op just when your right over em, adn take you for a ride, I learned that today, I'm sure it's fun to watch that happen to someone else, but it aint fur when it's you, that gets to go for the ride.:ooooh: lol

[ladyfish50]

Buddy & I will be going to Clark's sometime Thursday; probably mid-morning. We both took off work Thursday & Friday!! :big_smile:Also, looking at Jim's river chart, it looks like it might fall a little by then; I hope the weather cooperates with us.
Noooooo, Eric, no frozen, bagged "prefish tourney fish" can come to the weigh-in; you either, David! But we'll be glad to help fry em up!:tounge_out:

[Alsey]

Boy, that river is a mess. It's up about 4 or 5 feet here in town. That means it'll be up 4 or 5 inches down at Clark's. My entire strategy for the tournament has gone out the window. I'm just going to have to freestyle it. At least I'll have a good excuse if I come in last. With regard to the logs, I'm hoping the river will crest and start to go down before Friday and take some of the logs out of the river.

[wareagle]

Carmen, Ty, Debbie, and myself will be at Clark's starting Wednesday afternoon. With us starting fishing so soon, do you think anyone would mind if we brought in fish to the weigh-in that are filleted, bagged, and froze????:cool2:

cleaned and fried you can weigh them.:lol:

[Buddrice]

Roxie and I got a bright idea and went to Bishops this evening.We never got the first bite but we did get a little wet.Who knows what's going to happen this weekend...:big_smile:

[ersel]

Here are some new pics of deer at the new house. I am getting between 140 and 160 pics a night.

[cuttingout69]

I do, I do. I know what is going to happen.:big_smile:

[mandisue13]

back!

In just 2 days, I got contacts to 3 senior producers for Oprah, 2 contacts at CNN, the Today Show, People Magazine....I am tired.

What is that deer doing in that second pic?....looks like he sneezed a grasshopper!

[David Knotts]

Ersel, I can take care of that problem you have in your back yard, free of charge.:cool2: lol

[bassadict69]

Looks like you all have a gathering or tourney this weekend...PLEASE be careful on the river. I hear too many stories of people tearing up there boats or worse when the river is up like it is now!

Good luck everyone!

[ersel]

Ersel, I can take care of that problem you have in your back yard, free of charge.:cool2: lol

I may be looking at that they are eating my daylillies in the front yard.

[ar_confederate]

Ersel, since you have such a big problem, I think that it would take several of us to clear it up for you over a period of several nights!

[rebelzgrl76]

thanks for the pictures Ersel. Enjoyed them. :smile2:

[Buddrice]

Wish you were fishing with us..:big_smile:

[Alsey]

I went down to the river at century tel at lunch and there's no way I'm going to launch into that mess. Looks like I'll be fishing with yall down at Clark's.

[BullDaddy]

Hello everybody. I have been busy getting ready to pour concrete at the house. We finaly poured it Monday. I would like to recommend Cartcrete to anybody that may be doing some concrete work in the future. These guys do a jam up job. I had the forms already up and everything on grade. They started pouring at 11AM and finished at 7PM. The owner of the company was in the forms pulling mud! They would have finished alot sooner but they had to pack 15 yards of crete to the back with wheelbarrows(and he didn't charge me any extra!!) and poured the rest out of the truck. The owner is a real pro. He stayed with the crete until 9:15PM to finish brooming it off. I can't say enough about this crew, you don't find many today that will go above and beyond to make the customer happy.

[Buddrice]

I went down to the river at century tel at lunch and there's no way I'm going to launch into that mess. Looks like I'll be fishing with yall down at Clark's.

Come on down and I'll tell you my secrets..:big_smile: :lol:

[Alsey]

Don't do like Buddy did Kevin. He built his house and then started thinking towards a slab. I can still hear Roxie cursing that floor jack.

Yall, that little stretch of water at the new marina is looking pretty sweet. I've never been down there before today. Anyone with a few minutes to spare on their way to Clarks ought to swing through there and check it out. A fellow told me it was called Cooley's Lake (it's an oxbow). He said the entrance to it from the river is between two rock jetties. Sounds like a good place for a trotline. That's probably where I'm going to fish the tourney.

[llanolady]

Well, I don't know about all that, Ty tends to get on my feelings some times with all that 24 hr rod and reeling he dose. Let one Texan come over here and rod and reel and he wipes out the catfishing pop. ever where he's been. Yep, can't fish behind Ty. :big_smile: FEELINGS....NOTHING MORE THAN FEELINGS....AINT THAT A SONG OR SOMETHHANG???? :cry:

[llanolady]

Hi All!! I finally got the "net" so as to be able to enjoy all the posts on a daily basis instead of tring to play "catch up" @ Carmen's on the weekends.....looking forward to seeing all of you this weekend :big_smile:

[ladyfish50]

Hi there Beverly!! Is this the Beverly....Carmen's skinny little friend?:lol: Welcome aboard. Now....we've got to get a picture up for your avatar!!

[wareagle]

Hi All!! I finally got the "net" so as to be able to enjoy all the posts on a daily basis instead of tring to play "catch up" @ Carmen's on the weekends.....looking forward to seeing all of you this weekend :big_smile:

Hello Beverly glad to see ya on here.:lol:

[ladyfish50]

We went over the JD Bridge yesterday, & I couldn't believe how red & muddy the Ole Mighty Red is right now! And the current! And the logs! Yep, guys, we're gonna need to be real careful. I hope we can find some fish....I haven't seen it this muddy in awhile. Oh well, we'll have a blast even if the fish don't bite!!

[ladyfish50]

Ersel, those are great pictures. I can just see Adam, sitting up all night in his room with his binoculars.....NOT sleeping!!:lol: As far as the daylily problem, if you have to dig them up, I'll be glad to take them off your hands......you know, just thinking of you!:roll_eyes::big_smile:

[Buddrice]

Ersel, I can just see Adam, sitting up all night in his room with his binoculars.....NOT sleeping!!:lol:

You can call that .243 a set of binoculars if you want too...:lol:

He said the entrance to it from the river is between two rock jetties. Sounds like a good place for a trotline. That's probably where I'm going to fish the tourney.

you and the other 10 doz people who will be doing it. That new landing has done nothing but mess up my little neck of the woods. I have fished in that area from the first year they locked the dam. No one else would run that far to fish. I would, did, and still do.:big_smile:

For anybody who hasn't heard, here's the highlights:

Eric won.
Carmen came in a distant second.
The kids all did great.
We learned something new about Buddy.
We witnessed something involving Ty, Tony, and a big pink deer head. I still don't know what it signified but I got a picture of it.
The food was great.

There were lots of pictures taken. Here's three of the best ones I took.
