Subject: Trinity River, Texas
Submitted by Clint H (ip 134.240.241.2)
Date Fished: 7/29/2008
Water Temperature: 80+
Water Clarity: 0 Fishing up and down the stretch of river that passes through Trinidad and near Malakoff. Using 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 inch crawfish crankbaits. I'm in a little john boat so I don't have a depth finder, but I just cast to shore and reel in at a medium pace. I wasn't having too much luck around heavy fallen tree cover, but where I was having great success was casting close to cat tails, high grass, shorelines with bushes/grass along the edge, and anywhere I found a creek or cut that fed back into the main part of the river. Also, try to spot where a big hole might be and drag the crawfish crankbait across the hole. Nothing in the deeper part of the water, I figure there's too many big gar out there and that keeps the bass scared.
I fished like this for a couple days and caught one 6 pounder, and about four 5 pounders, and other smaller ones in between with a gar here and there. Fished with my brother in law one day and then took a friend out who had never been fishing before, had him using a Texas rig with a pumpkin and chartruese worm and he caught an absolute hog!! This could be a lie but I swear it had a to be around 7 pounds!
*Please note that this trip was back in late June. I just got stationed up in NY and have only now gotten back online. Good luck!!
