i’m back in Argentina. have my apartment and my office back in Buenos Aires. will be a couple weeks before i get into any fishing areas, i’ve got a lot of work to do to prepare for clients who will be coming the next several months. also, have some friends from Austin here right now. otherwise, i’d be up in Corrientes with my friends who left yesterday to fish for Dorado. i’ll post pix from there when they get back, if they have good fishing. supposedly it’s crazy up there right now, people catching Dorado and Pacu up to 20 pounds.

guys, really really really sorry about the lack of posts. been having computer issues, and also i’m getting ready to leave for Argentina until June, so i’m a bit busy these days.
went sunday with the lovely Celine Adams to a secret spot out in the hill country. a great float with crystal clear water to 12 feet!! the fishing was a bit tough, they weren’t eating too well. also, the water was so clear that the fish could see us coming from a mile away. it was also quite windy, so i was making noise just trying to keep the canoe in position, as we were getting blown all around. and the cypress leaves were falling in the water, so we’d get hung up on junk every other cast.
it was an enjoyable day, nevertheless. Celine caught a few nice Guadalupe bass and hooked a huge largemouth in the 4+ pound range, but it got away.

finally got to check out the San Marcos with my guide partner and buddy, Marcus Rodriguez. the river is flowing about 600 cfs, so it was cooking. we decided to go in Hobie Float Cats (kick boat), just to get the exercise, and since we hadn’t seen it since the flooding this past summer.
there’s still good fishing in the San Marcos in parts, but it’s nothing like it was in the old days when it was some of the most incredible fishing in Texas. here are some photos from today. the first one is a largemouth about 3.5 pounds, 19-20 inches. this was the first cast of the day! usually a bad sign. i hooked and lost another big one, but it was generally pretty slow. Marcus and I hooked a few guadalupe bass, but we blazed through the float since we both needed to be back in town early. oh, still plenty of catfish in the river. here’s Marcus with un ugly specimen.
oh, and here are some funky clouds. photos copyright Joey Lin.
