I will brotha! Get well soon.

You’ll be healed up 100% in no time. Thanks for the comment. Fish on!

Has it ever been worse than this time?

In this video I was using 30 lb braid.

Water wasn’t low. From my understanding treated wastewater is put into this lake which helps keeps the water level pretty consistent.

Slow day. Might as well if you have the gear and the bank is completely empty.

I got some new nets from Academy. Ready for more fish. Thanks for watching!

I bought it online over 5 years ago. I don’t remember the name, I think it Fish N Mates Junior. It’s aluminum and so light you can carry it with one hand. I remember it being about $100. Lasted me a long time.

Sad to see such a waste of good fish. Thanks for the informative comment. Tight lines!

I’m no marine biologist. TPWD said heat wave is contributing to oxygen level changes in the lake. The power plant already discharges very hot water. The combination is when this happens. It’s also a yearly occurrence. Some people are saying this time looked worse than other years. I’m still learning as well.

I agree. Thanks for the comment.

No, you?

@@BrawnyCal I’m going to try to.

I see gar there surfacing but never tried to catch one. The most fun I’ve had here was using a ultralight rod with 6 lb mono fighting carp. They fight good.

@@BrawnyCal heck yeah one day I had my UL rod with 6lb test and caught 2 chunky carp they were pulling drag.

@@ChillingwithMalc boom! People don’t really respect them here. I catch and release everything, so fish are fish to me. I like to catch all fish no matter the species.

@@BrawnyCal same here man.i catch them all. It's all fun.

I contacted TPWD and they said it’s lack of oxygen in the water.

What😮

I got the medium action and I prefer it over the Mad Katz because the handle is longer. I usually fish the bank so it helps to cash further. If I was on a boat, wouldn’t hurt. They are similar, again, the Slimecat has a longer handle. Even my 12 ft Mad Katz rods have short handles.

Thanks brother:

Safe to eat.

@@BrawnyCal no they aren’t. Calaveras lake is a power plant lake the chemicals from the power plant are released into the lake and disease the fish and if you eat them you could get sick. This will explain it better for you. “eating fish from Calaveras Lake may pose health risks due to chromium discharges from the J.K. Spruce Power Plant.”

The recent heatwave and hot water discharge is causing the water to get too hot. Less oxygen in the water.

@@BrawnyCal oh

Where is this at

@@taeoutdoorsputtumndakooler7163 Calaveras Lake Park, San Antonio, TX.

Yes sir.

For decades people have been eating the fish from here. I personally haven’t.

I do have it, it pays for itself if you come a lot. It’s worth it.

@@BrawnyCal I try to come on the weekends, after school, or holidays.

@@BrawnyCal also, do you know if you can fish at night with the Calaveras lake pass after hours? Or is that just with the camping reservation?

@@BetticeOutdoors you have to pay an additional fee to stay beyond 8 pm.

@@BrawnyCal oh okay thanks for telling me.

It produces. It’s a good fishing lake.

Calaveras Lake Park. This spot is to the right from the entrance near the second boat ramp.

@@BrawnyCal alright, thanks, I’ll try it out next time I go up there.

It helps with getting a spot and avoiding the heat. Good luck!

Excellent

@@t-dogg-kilrroy5943 heck yeah!

Both.

Haha heck yeah I agree.

Let me know how it goes. Good luck!

Espada Park off SW Military.

Mixture of bread crumbs, strawberry Jello O powder, and corn.

Thank you. Haven’t fished in a little while. Time to get back out there.

Thanks friend. Good luck on your next trip. 🍀

I’ve heard. Thanks for the comment. Tight lines!

Thanks Chris, we still need to link up. 🤘🏽

Thanks. Tight lines!

Appreciate it. Always a good time to fish. 🎣

He’s a good dude. Had fun.

My parents want to go. Tj is a good guy. Thanks for the comment. God bless!

10 footers. You can get it out there pretty good. Even if you can’t cast far, wade into the water and give yourself a cheat cast to the deep. The redfish here come shallow too though so you don’t need these tall rods. I’ve used 7 foot rods and caught redfish all day.

@@BrawnyCal Nice thanks for the info. Son and i are still trying to catch our 1st red!!! Hopefully we’ll catch one soon….

Thanks they’re stout but cast far. Best of both worlds.

I need to try it. What baits do you typically use?

@@BrawnyCal shrimp and fish bites

@@SomeRandomVato redfish candy right there.

Will do and better to be safe.

Thanks, need to get out on the boat to test it at Calaveras on some blues/channels. Soon!

Oh yes,@@BrawnyCal... I'm be there tomorrow, with crazy winds of 16mph!

@@fishingwithhonor2520 better than being at work. Stay safe though, always!

Calaveras can produce some pretty big redfish and cats. I actually prefer saltwater fishing though. Thanks for watching brotha!

​@@BrawnyCal Was this primrosa point?

@@johnnycortez46 to the right of park.

Thanks Patty. They get way bigger.

Sure am. A little bit of everything,

@@BrawnyCal I'd watch that.

@@Senor-Misterioso thanks friend. I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. Thanks for the kind words.

There’s a 7’6, 10’, and the 12’ I’m aware of. Thanks for the comment. Good info.

Thanks, god bless!

Thanks, the green stands out from the crowd.

Appreciate the kind words, haven’t had a chance to even use it yet ha. God bless!

Haven’t been in a little while, waiting for some reels to get it. Good luck on the water and thanks for the kind words.
