You have to make time to fish. As a kid and throughout college, the time seemed to always be there if I needed it... I would make it out to fish three of four times a month. After college that turned into three or four times a year. Sad. Two years ago, I decided to start fishing again, I asked for a new rod and reel for Christmas... the next Christmas came around and I had not even put string on it. Very sad. I now have made a deal with myself to fish more this season, literally force it into my schedule, I am thinking the blog will somehow help me stick to that. I love fishing because it forces me to slow down, nothing is gained by getting in a hurry on a body of water. Year after year it seems I have less free time, and somehow I feel that it is now even more necessary for me to set things aside and fish. Because, who knows? maybe next year I will have even less time for fishing.


So... It's Crunch Time.

Skunked On The Trinity River











Had a few hours free early this morning, so decided to begin my campaign to see if there were any bass to be caught in the Trinity River.  Pulled into Trinity Park just off University dr. in Fort Worth at just before 7am, walked the banks for about two hours...no fish.  Starting out I was throwing a top water, then switched over to the always trusty Granbury Special.  I was a little surprised that I didn't at least catch something small, there is actually some nice cover along that stretch of the river... rocks, grass, a small island, some man made areas where the water flows over some rocks, and some deep bridge pilings, but no luck.  I plan on trying three of four more areas before I write it off as no good.  Hopefully I can find some fish, it's convenient, only a ten minute drive from my house.

Location: Trinity River near Downtown Fort Worth
Time: Mid March, Early Morning
Weather:  Mid 60's, cloudy, windy.
Water: Stained
Catch: 0
