If you recall, Hos, we've talked about H&M Landing before. I've fished out of there several times. GREAT fishing...

This monster was taken out of H&M Landing...

I do remember.

We were talking about trying to get a whole group together and then head up the coast to Training Camp. Man that would be a blast.

My favorite part of the whole trip was the last day when we hit 10 foot swells. This is the boat we were on.

At one point I was sitting across the front of the boat where the anchor is and you see the black nose. I was hanging onto the anchor rigging and riding the boat up and down the swells. The spray was great and I was soaking wet. My nephew was sea sick and throwing up. I was laughing.

Damn that was fun.

They have showers right on the boat. It's a great time.

I find dynamite works best.

The Fish & Game Commission uses electricity here. True story. They "shock" the fish to stun them and then they float to the surface. After a few minutes they recover and swim away. That is how they try to count the fish and do studies on them.

I hope they use a wood boat.

I assume that if you are going to Ink's Lake , that you are going to the State Park ? I fish there and Lake Buchanan on a pretty regular basis . Ink's is a small lake and easily covered by a canoe . You can rent them for the day at the State Park store . The water is still cold and the black bass are still a little slow there . A red crank bait works real well in spring for black bass on these waters especially in a crawfish pattern . The white bass are also beginning to spawn and will be trying to run up river toward the Devil's Waterhole . For them your standard white and chartreuse crappie jigs as well as a silver spoon work well .

If you're going to be that close to Marble Falls , make sure you stop and have breakfast at the Bluebonnet Cafe . It's freaking awesome !

Our cabin was 6'6" x 6'6" x 6'6" and slept 6. No joke. 2 bunks on the floor, 2 more 2 feet above that, and 2 more 2 feet above that, with the ceiling 2 feet above the top bunks.

Hell, in the Navy, they call that a "State Room"!!!

I didn't care how big the room was. As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. That slow rocking motion of the boat was like mama's arms.

The other guys all complained that I snored.

I've never seen it done so I don't know but I do know it's a pretty common practice around these neck of the woods.

I hope they kept you away from the peanuts

wow, thats for the tips!! im going to academy later today to get some more gear so ill be sure to pick up that stuff. have you ever been to colorado bend? i was reading somewhere that its good fishing there around this time of year

I was in Colorado Bend hiking just a few weeks ago , but didn't fish . It's a beautiful little park with some nice spring fed waterfalls and swimming holes up the Spice Wood Creek area . It is a very good time to fish there as well . The white bass run up from Lake Buchanan into the Colorado River and are excellent . It does get way crowded with people though . It's a good place to go for a shore fisherman though , and there is a lot of easily accessible areas .
