Finally, we have had some decent temperatures to go fishing! Since the weather started to get a little bit better, I decided to go ahead and start to stock up on what I would need for the first outing of the season, and hopefully I'll get to test it out this week too. The good news is that I have quite a bit of tackle that can be salvaged from last year and will only have to get some new line and a few lures. Here is my new tackle to start off the 2015 fishing season.

In Texas, we usually do not get too much snow, however we have received a decent amount of ice and snow over the month of February. Although I like snow and winter a lot, it can get a little strenuous when it is 70 degrees in February and then the next day it is 20 degrees with ice and snow...literally. That is one thing about Texas, the weather can change so fast and rapidly.

In summer time, I have found most of my success with a little bit of a quicker retrieve than a slower one, and in colder temperatures I typically slow it down considerably. In fact, in winter time you really can't fish the CountDown too slowly. Of course some people say you can catch them just the same in the summer as in the winter, but this usually is due to unusual conditions. My number one spot to throw the CountDown CD01 is in the eddies that form in streams and rivers. I like to cast the CountDown into these eddies and then letting the lure fall for a second or two. After this, I usually hook up with a fish shortly into my first tug, but if not I will work it into the current. You will want to make sure that you cast the CountDown upstream in rivers as this is the direction fish face.

Sometimes during fishing we try to get a little too sophisticated with our tactics. This is why I find this article so amusing. Not until a year or so ago did I seriously start to understand the tactics of fishing for bass. I used to just put on a favorite lure no matter the circumstances and expect to have a few bites. However nice this might seem, this is not the case, as fish can be quite finicky due to their surroundings.

For quite some time now I have been trying to catch a fish called the Rio Grande Cichlid. This fish is quite small, as the state record weight is 2.02 lbs. However, they are quite a feisty and aggressive fish, which makes them a blast to catch...at least that is what I hear. They are very interesting looking fish, as they resemble a Guinea Hen, from which their name is originated. Although the Rio Grande Cichlid is small, it has quite a relative in the Peacock Bass of South America. That's right, this small fish is related to one of the greatest freshwater fish of all time. Fortunately, you do not have to go to Brazil to catch them though.

In general, most people will not recognize Texas as a state with crystal clear pristine water and cool running trout streams. While for the most part this is correct, these people also couldn't be more wrong. This is my trip of the Devils River, and boy was it a good one!
