I fished for 4 hours on January 1, 2024. I posted the fish I caught here. Don’t worry you aren’t having a computer problem. I got skunked. Nada, nothing, even with 5 rods out for hours. So could you please post your first catch of 2024, so we will know fish still exist in Texas. Hopefully I will be able to catch at least one fish in 2024, so I can post it here also.

Will be heading out this week. I will post my first! If you are going to get skunked, winter is usually the time that will happen!



Side Note: Also during bad weather conditions, you can easily get the big 0.

I know I'll be seeing a fish from you soon Osbornfishing...

At least you got to go. So far, I've been skunked on just getting to fish.

Five rods? I wish I had five rods!

I thought you would see one today. But I got skunked again.

I usually try and go catch a fish on the 1st every year. I just think it is a good way to start a new year. This year I have skunked, rained out, and skunked. With that record I can see an interesting fish in my future.

I frequent garage sales, estate sales, and eBay. I think I could probably approach the 99 Texas hook limit with one hook per rod. And that is after I gave away a bunch of rods and reels to kids last year.

My first of 2024. Rainbow Trout.

This was yesterday, Jan 3rd, and my first outing of the year. I’m not sure but I think my 1st catch was this one



Attempt at humor aside, when my sonar looks like this, which it doesn’t most of the time, I want to release and get my fly back in the water asap. So, no photo. I’m going to call my first outing of the year a success. About three hours on the water and a total of 8 striper ranging from 17” to 24”….6 under 20” and 2 overs. All fat and healthy. Around sundown I was thinking I would take a photo of the next one for prosperity, unfortunately there wasn’t a next one.

Barry, as always, I enjoy your posts. Thanks

Now it's time for

My first of 2024 Lmb

First fish of 2024 - a carp from Copper Breaks State park.

Lake is waaaaay low, but still has carp.
