Field Team Shirts....

Decided to make T-Shirts for the Field Team.  So far, NucLaroche and Comal Kid don't agree with Fshng84's idea.

But, T-Bone is onboard except he will need a smaller size shirt than what we had on hand.

Made two shirts with iron on logos.  Liked the results; hope they at least last one season!

One Bluegill caught using Bread!

One Bluegill caught using Bread and a Slip-Bobber Rig.  Was going for Trout.  Had a few missed strikes else only the one Bluegill.

Did see a couple fishermen limit out using Bread though.  Good to see the Trout are still lurking... Even better that the Cormorant have not arrived yet!

Bluegill at Bethany. Trout, Too.

Fished Bethany for a quick trip.  Caught a little Bluegill.  Noticed another fisherman fishing for Trout.  Looked like one was in the basket!

Let's Start 2012 with Two Sunfish!

Could not let the day pass without trying to fish.  Was able to make it to Bethany this afternoon.  Looks like the Trout are done for the Season but was able to get two fish to bite!  So, let's start 2012 with two Sunfish (used a GRHEN trailer behind a Guadalupana).  FUN STUFF!

Happy New Year for 2012!

Happy New Year!  The Field Team wishes all the best in 2012 for our Readers and would like to thank them for visiting our weblog and partner websites.  We appreciate the support and look forward to another year of fishing!

This past year we caught our share of fish.  Most were small and scrappy but a few we consider Bruisers.  As we bring in the New Year, we closed out the 2011 COAF Fishing Leader Board and the One Fishing Fly Challenge. And, we started the 2012 COAF Fishing Leader Board and extended the One Fishing Fly Challenge in to 2012.

Check them out when you get a chance, and feel free to join un in 2012.  Guidelines are simple and since there are no prizes other than bragging rights, everyone gets a chance to be on the Leader Board!

Good Luck and Good Fishing!
COAF Field Team

Closed Out 2011 with a Limit of Trout!

Made it out on a nice (but windy day)!  Was able to close out 2011 with a limit of five Rainbow Trout!  Caught them using Powerbait Rainbow Glitter but did see Corn, Orange and Chartreuse Powerbait, and Bread in their stomachs!

Saw a few others catching them on Corn and Bread; looked like there are still a number of Trout in the pond!  Should see more in the upcoming weeks when another Trout Stocking happens!

Tough Time Fishing... Only a Few Days to Complete 2011's Honey Do List!

Having a tough time fishing these last few days of 2011. Got lots of Honey
Do's to complete before 2012 arrives. One of which involved standing in
line at the Department of Public Safety to renew Drivers Licenses. Only
took three hours to get it done. Very tough just standing there knowing
Trout are lurking in several community lakes/ponds! Will have to make it a
point to fish tomorrow – the last day of 2011.

Till then, HAPPY NEW YEARS from the Field Team!

Steady Action at Huaco Springs, New Braunfels!

Fished the Guadalupe River for Rainbow Trout this afternoon.  The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has leased a river access point at one of the areas they stock trout on the river.  Nice being able to access the river with no additional fees other than your Texas fishing license.

The access point is located at Huaco Springs, New Braunfels.  Signs readily point to the parking area for Trout Fishing once you enter the camp grounds.  And, water was flowing and fish were congregating in pools and pockets along the stretch of the river.

Managed a limit of Trout using Chartreuse and Orange Powerbait.  Saw others catching them on Corn and Spinners as well!  Keeping this one in our backpocket next time we pass through the area!

Cabelas Has Powerbait!

Cabelas has Powerbait!  Was running short on Rainbow Glitter.  Picked up a bottle while browsing around the fishing section.  Had other selections including Power Worms!

Waterloo Again; Two Limits This Round

Had a chance to run up the road to Denison to fish Waterloo this afternoon.  Fished with NucLaroche and managed two limits of Trout using Powerbait.  Looked like Rainbow Glitter and Chartreuse worked equally well today.  After cleaning the Trout, did notice a few had Corn in them.  Saw others fishing the Pond with fish taken on Powerbait as well as Corn!
