Clear Lake Gates are Open

[planohog]

Gates are open, tons of hydrilla washing out into the bay. Launched at 10am and dropped some traps at a place that I noticed grab last weekend , had some pot lickers come and fish all around me while I was foolling around with my 3 traps. Funny, They thought I had something going eventually they flew away at max thrust, I guess they were unhappy bass boat guys. Managed 3 hard heads in 20 minutes before the rain chased me off.
Tides are I bet 2 feet high. I had my traps set for 10 feet and the floats were only showing between swells. Threw off my launch techniques, Had to re-event , no problem, not many out today so I took my time. I noticed the pelicans and gulls and king fishers were having a banner day. They were not grouped up but they were lots nearly everywhere. Fish finder was showing normal amount of fish as I moved around no earth shattering displays.
I hope to launch at GYB tomorrow, supposed to be nice and sunny.

Good report thanks, what color was the water Plano. Me and buddy are going to try out trinity bay tomorrow to try out his new boat. Hoping it's not too fresh and we have a decent day on the water.

What ever plant life is being washed out, does this rule apply ?

http://tpwd.texas.gov/regulations/outdoor-annual/fishing/general-rules-regulations/possession-and-transport-of-exotic-aquatic-species

General Rules

It is a violation to:

• Possess or transport any exotic aquatic plant or animal listed as harmful or potentially harmful. This includes: plants such as hydrilla, water hyacinth, and giant salvinia; fishes such as tilapia and Asian carps (grass, silver, and bighead carp); and zebra mussels.
• Possess tilapia, grass carp or any other fish listed as harmful or potentially harmful, without immediately removing the intestines, except on waters where a valid Triploid Grass Carp Permit is in effect. In those waters, it is illegal to possess grass carp. Any grass carp caught must be immediately returned to the water unharmed. Please see our list of waters with Triploid Grass Carp Permits.
• Fail to immediately remove and lawfully dispose of any harmful or potentially harmful aquatic plant that is clinging or attached to a vessel, watercraft, trailer, motor vehicle, or other device used to transport or launch a vessel or watercraft. Illegal transport can result in a fine of $25-$500. Learn how to properly clean your watercraft.

Us Bass fishermen love that floating green****! Not a pain to fish around using the right technique..... Wish it wasn't all getting washed out of the Creek!!

I wasn't picking on you. Just didn't want to see someone get a fine for something you don't hear much about.
