Freeze, floods, weevils help control invasive salvinia By Craig Nyhus
Lone Star Outdoor News Caddo Lake received a break this winter and spring, as a sustained freeze and spring flooding helped knock back the
giant salvinia invasion to its lowest level since the plant arrived in 2006. Anglers saw open water where they hadn’t in years. The fishing improved, or at least the ability to access prime fishing areas did. “I’m still shocked about how the lake looks; the fishermen couldn’t get to the areas to fish,” said Laura Speight, a for-
mer Texas Parks and Wildlife Department biologist who retired and took over the Morley Hudson Weevils Greenhouse in Uncertain. “The lake looks great right now, but the salvinia is still out there.” Ted Barrow is a volunteer, and ran the greenhouse before Speight was hired. “We actually had a hard time finding salvinia this year until recently,” he said.

The numbers of white-tailed deer in Port Mansfield have been reduced, but residents don’t seem to notice a difference. A culling of deer was held recently in an effort to control the cattle fever tick that has been spreading in several South Texas counties. The killing was done by the United States Department of Agriculture after the agency consulted the Port Mansfield Navigation District about the plan to reduce the white-tailed herd from the Please turn to page 14

One way to beat the heat of summer in Texas is to go nocturnal, and in the world of fishing that means leaving the dock when the sun goes down. That’s the tactic that Matagorda Bay guide Peyton Arrison has been using for the past four months and racking up some good numbers of solid trout. “It’s a type of fishing that I love,” said Arrison. “It’s a good way to escape the heat for sure; there are no boats and the fishing is very good. So far this summer we have been catching some impressive numbers of big trout — fish in the 27- to 29-inch class.” The drill is simple. Arrison tries to have his customers in the boat and moving right around sunset. “That gives me time to run to where I plan on fishing right at last light,” he said. “We’ll return around 2:30 a.m.” The trip can wipe a person out the following day. But Arrison said his customers are both young and old, with most being in the 25- to 30-year-old bracket. And many have made return trips. Arrison uses both live and artificial baits. The live baits are all croaker. His top lure is a top-water, with a pink and gold Super Spook One Knocker being his favorite. Bone is a good backup color. “When we’re fishing croaker I’ll rig them on a 4/0 live bait hook. My reel is spooled with 30-pound braid that’s tied to a weighted croaker rattle. For the leader I use a 12-inch, 30-pound-test fluorocarbon leader. The short leader is easier to work with in the dark.” Arrison said once the sun goes down the trout tend to move up shallow. And his favorite time to be on the water is during a new moon when it’s pitch black, followed by three to four nights prior to a full moon. That’s when he fishes the stronger tides with a predominantly southeast breeze. Night fishing with top-water lures is a new

South Zone dove hunters excited about extra hunting week
With the general dove season opening earlier in South Texas this season, most hunters are happy with the regulation change. The South Zone will open on Sept. 14. Photo by David J. Sams, Lone Star Outdoor News.
By Craig Nyhus
Lone Star Outdoor News Dove hunters and outfitters alike are cheering the additional week in the South Zone general dove season this year. “I haven’t heard a single negative comment about the change,” said Texas Dove Hunters Association director Robert Thornton. “I just spent the weekend in McAl-
len, and the people down there were happy as long as the Special Whitewing Season the first two weekends didn’t change. But it’s the people just south of Houston and San Antonio who are really excited about the move to Sept. 14. In past years, the South Zone season opened the third weekend in September, which this
year would have been Sept. 21. In March, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission changed the opening date, moving the season opener up one week. Daniel Hernandez operates Double H Outfitters in San Antonio with his wife, Valerie, and most of their South Zone hunts this year will be in large black oil sunflower fields in the La Coste,
“Ever since they started the Special Whitewing Season, it seems like something moves the birds before the opener, and usually some rain or a cool front rolls in.” Hernandez said all of the comments he has heard have approved of the change. “We added the weekdays after the opening weekend and haven’t been having any trouble booking Please turn to page 7
Trans-Pecos pronghorn struggling in areas By Craig Nyhus
Lone Star Outdoor News The pronghorn fawn crop appeared to remain low in the Marathon and Marfa basins, at least according to a helicopter survey conducted by Greg Simons of Wildlife Systems, Inc. “The fawn numbers are definitely down, either comparable to or a little stronger than last year,” Simons said. “The doe numbers also appeared to be off slightly, although it’s possible the does had moved to neighboring ranches where we didn’t fly.” The buck numbers looked fairly strong, for now. “It was about what we expected from last year,” Simons said. “We are seeing some older age distribution, which is a bit of a flip from a few years ago when we saw mostly young bucks.” Part of the reason for the flip was the poor fawn crops the past two years.
Lytle and Devine areas. “We’re loving it,” he said. “Everyone wants to hunt as soon as it gets to September. Now they only have to wait 14 days instead of 21. They are afraid the birds will leave if they don’t get out right away.” Sometimes the people are right. “The last few years, the South Zone opener has been kind of tough here,” Hernandez said.
Namibia steps back from social media restrictions By Craig Nyhus

“The herd has good maturity now,” Simons said. “But the projections may change three to five years down the road.” Areas in the Trans-Pecos saw rains this summer, but after a dry spring and early summer, the rains arrived late for good fawn production. “North of I-10, a lot of that country is still real dry,” Simons said. “But south of I-10, it’s green around Fort Davis, Marfa and Fort Stockton.
It’s in pretty good shape now.” Shawn Gray, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s pronghorn program leader, said Simon’s observations were consistent with what the department is seeing. “We just finished our surveys, and fawn crops were below average,” he said. “Adult numbers slightly decreased or stayed about the same as last year.”
A previous determination by Namibia’s Ministry of Environment and Tourism has been put on hold. As reported in the July 13 issue of Lone Star Outdoor News, Minister Pohamba Shifeta issued a memorandum banning the posting of photographs of dead animals by professional hunters, guides and trophy hunters as a condition of obtaining hunting permits. According to the Namibia Professional Hunters Association, decisions will be delayed until industry members provide proposed guidelines for ethical marketing practices for the hunting community NAPHA already has provided the minister with a draft pamphlet with guidelines for social media advertising and posts. A meeting is scheduled on July 27 to discuss the matter further. NAPHA proposed suggestions to be implemented instead of a total ban of trophy pictures on social media, including a clearly defined guideline structure for responsible social media marketing; the preparation of documents outlining the professional hunters’ roles as conservationists through hunting, the benefits of hunting, the role the MET plays, and their commitment to the Namibian Constitution; and training courses in ethics, social media, and other topics.

commitments based on responses on social media indicate this will be a banner year,” said Karl Kinsel, TTHA’s executive director. Seminars have been popular at past extravaganzas, but have taken attendees away from the show floor. This year, that will change. “We are moving our seminars to the exhibit hall floor where we are featuring a new area called Around the Campfire,” said TTHA’s Director of Marketing Lauren Conklin. “The seminars will be more interactive and casual, just like you’re sitting around a campfire with close friends, sharing stories and hunting tips with your buddies.” Dr. Deer, James Kroll, returns with new and important topics facing the hunting and outdoor industry. New speakers will include Cole Tanner with Ozonics and Texas Law Shield workshops. The shows won’t be short on celebrity appearances. In Houston, a meet and greet with Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson will get the ball rolling, and Michael Waddell PMS 470 c/u PMS 350 c/u
and Travis “T-Bone” Taylor will be at all three shows. A new addition this year is Gary Wilson’s Outdoor Film Festival & Tour each Saturday immediately after the show floor closes at 7 p.m. The festival will feature award-winning hunting, fishing and conservation films from talented producers all over the country, including Texas. Some of the old standbys will be back, including Joe Martin’s Snakes of Texas, as Martin nears 50 years traveling to show his rattlesnake-handling skills, Gator Country and the popular TTHA Deer Competition. A new addition is exhibition archer Frank Addington Jr., known as the “Aspirin Buster.” The exhibitors, though, highlight the events, with everything from blinds and feeders to optics and outfitters available.

Everyone is for it — a lot of people wonder what took them so long.” The Lonesome Dove Fest, held opening weekend each year in Karnes City, moved its festival with the change.

Reds schooling in Trinity Bay By Nate Skinner
For Lone Star Outdoor News Anglers in Trinity Bay finally caught a break. The water is holding at a steady salinity and fishing activity, especially for redfish, is on the rise. Trinity Bay lies in the northernmost region of the Galveston Bay Complex and is susceptible to immense freshwater inflows and runoff from significant rain events. The estuary receives freshwater from both the San Jacinto and Trinity River watersheds and, for the past several years, the action for much of the summertime was washed out due to heavy spring and early summer rains. The most consistent action for anglers fishing Trinity has been for redfish, as schools of reds are swarming the open waters of the estuary from one end of the bay to the other. These schools are on the move and aggressive. Some of these fish are in the upper slot class, pushing 28 inches in length or more, and some of them are bull reds. This presents anglers with an opportunity to catch their personal-best redfish. Trinity Bay fishing guide, Capt. Bryan Maley recently spent a day on the water with his two daughters, Lauren and Caitlin Maley. Lauren is 13 and Caitlin is 10, and both girls got to tangle with some monster reds. “I was cruising the middle of Trinity with the girls, just looking around for signs of fish,” Maley said. “You can find a lot of trout and reds out in the middle of the bay under birds, slicks, and balls of bait this time of year when it’s calm. I spotted several fresh-looking slicks, so we stopped to check them out and see if they were a sign of some fish actively feeding.” Maley used his trolling motor to move just upwind of the slicks where he and his daughters could cast into the fishylooking water. All three anglers were throwing jig heads rigged with Z Man, Redbone Scented Jerk ShadZ. “We immediately began hooking up with oversized reds,” Maley said. “This school was full of giants, and the girls had the time of their lives catching them.” Veteran Trinity Bay fishing guide Capt. Tim Young also reported seeing several schools of large reds cruising Trinity Bay.

Double hookup of double-digit bass By Robert Sloan
The white bass fishing is rising as fast as the temperatures on Lake Livingston. Guide Simon Cosper said this is his favorite time of year to fish for white bass on the East Texas lake. “Right now, all the white bass are concerned about is eating, and they are super aggressive,” Cosper said. “Everyone always raves about the spring white bass run, but I think pursuing them when they are in their summertime pattern can be a lot easier Lake Livingston has been a hot spot for white bass fishing, with covering and more consistent.” lots of water being the key.

FISH GOT YOU STUMPED?

At 26, Capt. Aaron Cisneros has more knowledge and experience than many anglers much older. The operator of Tightlines Charters learned how to fish the waters of the Lower Laguna Madre from his father, Ernest, a veteran guide in the area. “When I was growing up, there was hardly ever a day when I wasn’t in school that my dad and I didn’t spend on the water,” Cisneros said. “We literally never missed a weekend.” Cisneros was wade-fishing with artificial lures and stringing his own fish by age 12. “When my father had charters booked on the weekends, I got to tag along and fish alongside him and his customers,” he said. “It was like a crash course in learning how to fish and how to be an excellent fishing guide.” The experiences as a teenager motivated Cisneros to follow in his father’s footsteps. “While fishing on many of my dad’s charter trips with all sorts of people, I quickly realized that I enjoyed meeting anglers from all over the state and country,” he said. “I would always look forward to fishing on a trip when my father said he had new clients. It was exciting because there was no telling who we were about to meet and spend the day fishing with.” Cisneros became a full-time fishing guide in 2010. Since then, he has spent 200 plus days out of every year, fishing and expanding his knowledge of the waters within the Lower Laguna Madre from South Bay up to

Harte Research Institute innovator dies John “Wes” Tunnell, a marine ecologist and biologist, historian and author, died July 14 after a battle with cancer. He was 73. Tunnell was one of the founding research team members of the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. “Tunnell was the soul of the Harte Research Institute,” said Larry McKinney, the institute’s executive director. “World-renowned ocean explorer and advocate Sylvia Earle was the inspiration and Ed Harte the visionary, but Wes was the one to put it all together and make HRI a reality. All that HRI is today is his legacy.” —Staff report

The 12” Sna-Koil pro-style snake is so close to the real thing it’s scary. A true snake shape, the Sna-Koil’s lifelike profile slithers through weed lines and over matted vegetation producing heart thumping strikes. Fished weighted, Tex-posed, Carolina or Drop Shot. Its unique coiling action triggers strikes from stubborn fish when others can’t.

GAME WARDEN BLOTTER MAN SELLING FOX KITS A citizen called a Cooke County game warden notifying about foxes for sale on an internet site. The person was considering purchasing a fox but changed her mind when she became suspicious that the seller wasn’t permitted. The warden enlisted help from another area warden, who arranged a meeting with the seller. The seller was cited with two counts of selling live furbearers without proper permits and paid more than $1,000 in fines and court costs. Both kits were released to an animal rehabilitation facility. POACHED DEER, STOLEN ROAD SIGNS AND MORE Game wardens received a call about a deer that was poached in Taylor County. The two game wardens identified the principal parties and drove to a nearby town to interview one of the suspects. The suspect admitted to shooting the deer and gave the wardens a statement. He also agreed to take the two wardens to the location where the deer was shot. While following the suspect to the location, a vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign forcing one of the game wardens to take quick evasive action to avoid a collision. The two wardens quickly identified which of them would continue with the suspect and which would initiate a traffic stop. The warden stopped the vehicle and the driver immediately admitted to having active warrants. A quick check was completed and he was taken into custody and booked into the Taylor County Jail. The other warden continued on and got the specif-
POACHING RING FINALLY STOPPED A Red River County game warden ended a poaching ring dating back several years. In January, the warden observed someone in a vehicle shoot a large buck only 50 yards from his location at night from the road. An additional large buck head was located in the bed of the truck along with two feral hogs. The warden had previous dealings with the subjects having caught them hunting from a public road twice in 2014. He again caught one of the suspects in 2017. After multiple interviews and cell phone seizures, multiple confessions were obtained on additional white-tailed deer and other animals illegally taken by these subjects from the public road. It was determined 41 animals were
ics of the incident from the first suspect. The two wardens met back up and went to interview the second suspect. While in the course of the interview, several stolen road signs were in plain view in the back of the second subject’s truck. The second subject gave a statement admitting he shot the deer from the road with a bow and gave information about the stolen road signs. WARDENS HELPS SAVE HOUSE FROM WILDFIRE A Mills County game warden responded to a wildfire that burned approximately 750 acres. The fire was accelerated by 30 mph winds and dry conditions. The warden, a Mills County deputy and another individual used garden hoses to hold off the fire long enough for the Goldthwaite Volunteer Fire Depart-
illegally shot from the public road involving three subjects, two of whom were convicted felons. In total, 25 white-tailed deer (21 bucks and 4 does) were illegally shot as well as 16 hogs. A total of 124 felony and class A misdemeanor cases were presented to the District Attorney’s office. Multiple class C charges have been filed and the suspects have pled guilty. Civil restitution for the deer is estimated at $22,161.35. One subject has already been sentenced to prison for three years for the initial felon in possession charge and is awaiting his court for his additional charges. The other two are awaiting trial.
ment to arrive and help save the residence from destruction. The homeowners were out of town but thankful. FATHER TAGS DEER UNDER SON’S LICENSE In May, Harris County game wardens stopped by a local taxidermy shop for a compliance check. In the course of inspecting several white-tailed racks, one of the wardens discovered two sets of antlers allegedly killed by the same 8-year-old hunter. The heads had been turned in by the father, but reported under the juvenile’s license. Further investigation revealed the father had advised the taxidermist he had killed one of the bucks, but the wardens found no record of the individual possessing a valid hunting license for the year in question.
Subsequent interviews confirmed the father had killed the buck in Val Verde County without a valid hunting license. The father was cited for hunting without a license, and civil restitution for the whitetail buck is pending. POACHER SHOOTS DOE, STARTS FIELD, VEHICLE ON FIRE A Gonzales County game warden received a tip that a white-tailed doe may have been shot during or before a grass fire started in the county. The warden, armed with details about a vehicle that had burned in the fire, determined a group of hog hunters entered the field where one of them shot a white-tailed doe. After the doe was shot, the hunters’ vehicle caught the field on fire, along with their vehicle. Cases filed include hunt-

ing without a valid license, taking white-tailed deer in closed season and civil restitution. BUSY STOP FOR WARDEN Several individuals were caught fishing in the restricted area of the Lake Tawakoni dam. When the Van Zandt County game warden approached, four of the men took off running toward the steep embankment. Two of the suspects were detained, but the other two got away. When escorting the two detained suspects to his patrol vehicle, the warden encountered four more individuals fishing within the boundaries of the restricted area. These four individuals had no identification, no fishing license and a stringer full of fish. While issuing citations to the other four individuals, he could smell marijuana coming from the suspects’ vehicle. A plastic bag containing marijuana had been hidden under the front passenger tire well. He arrested all four subjects. While still on the scene, DPS troopers stopped a car for speeding in the area. A search of the car revealed one of the suspects who had fled earlier from the warden. That suspect was arrested for evading arrest/detention.

O.H. Ivie, West Texas lakes feeling the heat Water levels at severe lows By Craig Nyhus
Lone Star Outdoor News Chuck Chanley made the 200-mile trek from his Hobbs, New Mexico home to his favorite fishing lake, O.H. Ivie Reservoir, pulling his pontoon boat and arriving at the Concho Park Marina boat ramp. He didn’t launch. “It is down so far, I’ve never seen it this bad,” Chanley said. “I didn’t feel comfortable putting the pontoon in with all of the rocks and trees.” He and his grandchildren improvised, and drove farther east to Lake Brownwood. “Ivie is my favorite, but Brownwood was real pretty,” Chanley said. “We caught some white bass, catfish and crappie.” According to the Texas Water Development Board, the lake level is 14.6-percent full and 43 feet below flood pool. At Concho Park Marina on the lake, the fishing reports are still coming in, although fishing traffic is down. Jackie and Karen Snow landed a good mess of crappie on July 22 and Larry Bowen reported good bass catches over the weekend. Concho Park’s boat ramp is open, but they recommend launching small boats only. The Elm Creek (Kennedy) ramp is open and can handle larger boats. The lake level caused Concho Park Ma-
rina to post a plea on its Facebook page, saying, “We ask that you continue to pray for rain. Currently the lake level is at 14.8 percent and continues to drop with these 100-degree temps we are experiencing.” Lynn Wright with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s Inland Fisheries division in San Angelo said the fishing is still good, but access is an issue on the lake. “The water is about to get to the end of the Concho ramp,” he said. “It has about 3 more feet. The Elm Creek ramp can handle a drop of 8 feet, which would be a record low.” Wright said he has seen people come in with limits of fish, though. “I’ve seen limits of crappie and white bass come in, and the bass fishing was good until the summer heat set in,” he said. “We had 10 bass turned in that topped 8 pounds, and two that topped 10 pounds.” Other West Texas lakes are experiencing similar water woes. In San Angelo, Twin Buttes Reservoir is 4.1 percent full, O.C. Fisher is at 8.4 percent of capacity and E.V. Spence is at 10.6 percent. Like most of the West Texas reservoirs, O.H. Ivie is in need of an influx of water, Wright said. “It’s been 10 years since the lake had significant water in it,” he said. “And it has been six years since the lake was over 25 percent of capacity.”

Smooth Move brings in 720-pound blue marlin Winning fish at Poco Bueno tournament By Robert Sloan
For Lone Star Outdoor News Capt. Brian Phillips aboard the Smooth Move brought in a 720-pound blue marlin that was 121 inches long, easily winning the recent Poco Bueno tournament held out of Port O’Connor. “We caught one marlin during two days of fishing,” said Phillips, who has won numerous offshore tournaments since he became a fulltime captain in 1994. “We were fishing in 10,000 feet of water, 165 miles out, and about 7 miles from Mexico. We hooked up at 9 a.m. and had it in the boat at 2:20 p.m. on Saturday. The boat would run at 41 knots. We immediately headed in and cleared the Port O’Connor
jetties with 10 minutes to spare.” The anglers were using live blackfin tuna for bait and trolling them at 3.5 knots on reels spooled with 80-pound test line and 300-pound test leaders. Brad Goodrich was the angler on the rod. They had the opportunity to catch other fish, including dorado to 40 pounds swimming around the boat. “We were there to specifically catch one fish – a big blue,” Phillips said. “And that’s what we did. We had one bite in two days of fishing.” The second place blue was caught on the Done Deal and weighed 587.5 pounds. The Draggin’ Up brought in the third-place marlin, weighing 577.5 pounds. Other Offshore Winners: Wahoo Lady Adele 61 pounds Dorado Chase This 32 pounds Tuna Relentless Pursuit 105.5 pounds
FLW Tour drops co-angler program When FLW announced its 2019 FLW Tour schedule on July 12, it also announced the co-angler program was being replaced with a new Tour Marshal program. Other FLW series, including the Costa Series and the Bass Fishing League, will continue the co-angler programs. Marshals will be eligible for a top cash award of $2,500 at each regular-season FLW Tour stop based on the combined weight of the pros they are randomly paired with. Marshals will also receive one entry into a giveaway for each day they complete. One marshal will be randomly selected to win the new boat after the season concludes. —Staff report

area. Ron Mills, the WCND director, said about 100 deer, or about 25 percent of the herd, were culled during a June 11 operation. But there still are plenty of white-tailed deer. People asked about the culling saying they did not know about it or haven’t noticed a difference. Mills agreed. “I counted more than 400 deer about nine months ago,” he said.

seeing a lot of fish stacked up on my fish finder,” he said. Cosper said the largemouth bass population on Lake Livingston isn’t much to speak of, but that there are a few hybrids and stripers mixed in with schools of white bass. The crappie bite is fairly slow, but will pick up during the fall and winter when water temperatures cool. Blue cats can be found along the bottom while drifting in 15 feet of water using a Carolina rig and shad. “Livingston is pretty much a premier white bass fishery,” Cosper said. “Folks can target catfish right now, but they are going to catch a ton of white bass in the process. The water temperature is hovering around 88 or 89 degrees and these patterns should
hold through the remainder of the summer.” The action on Sam Rayburn Reservoir is completely different from Livingston, according to guide Lynn Atkinson. “Sam Rayburn is a couple of feet low right now and the water temperature is in the low- to mid-90s,” he said. “The crappie bite is really steady and the largemouth bass action is pretty good too.” For crappie, Atkinson suggests that anglers focus on a number of brush piles in 17-31 feet of water. “You have to move around and hit several different spots, but you can put together a good mess of fish,” he said. “Almost all the brush piles have a few fish, there just isn’t one area that is holding a ton of them.”
The best crappie action is coming on jigs and minnows, with plenty of large bluegill mixed in with the crappie. “Grass beds and hydrilla up shallow are holding some decent largemouths early in the morning that are willing to strike frog imitation top-waters,” Atkinson said. “Later in the day, points and ledges in 12-22 feet become the hot spots. Jigs and Carolina rigs are working best in these areas.” Blue catfish up to 15 pounds can be found along the same brush piles that are holding crappie in about 18-20 feet of water. A variety of natural bait options have been producing steady action.

fishing,” he said. Lake Fork may be the king of trophy bass fishing. It has the state record weighing 18.18 pounds, and has contributed 260, 13-pound-plus bass. With so much angler pressure, it would seem the numbers of big bass would eventually be impacted. But it’s still the go-to big bass fishery for many anglers hunting trophy largemouth bass. Canada has seen similar types of catches on back-to-back casts. “I had a guy out one day that caught a 9-pounder, and on his next cast had a 10 plus. Then his wife hooked up with another big one from the same spot.” The guide feels the big bass tend to run together. “I think what they are doing is feeding on yellow bass, about 6to 8-inches long,” he said. “That could be the reason we have so many big bass on this lake. We’ve got an excellent population of yellow bass. We’re seeing a lot of short bass that are heavy and built like a football.” Canada said the two bass they caught were holding about 15feet deep on a hump along a ridge next to some timber. “It’s a spot where I’ve caught some pretty good bass over the years,” he said. “The same rig seems to catch them every time. It’s a Carolina rig with a splittailed pumpkinseed worm. Right now the surface water temperature is about 90 degrees. Lots of the bass being caught are suspended at 7 to 8 feet above 25 feet of water. They can be caught on jigging spoons and swim baits. But typically suspended bass are the most difficult to catch. The drop-shot rigs with a Finesse worm are very good for catching numbers of 3- to 4-pound bass.” With more than 33 years of fishing on Fork, Canada said if you catch a big bass the chances are pretty good that other big ones are nearby. That’s why he recommends fishing your big bass spots thoroughly, and as often as possible.

Reds in Trinity Bay Continued from page 8
Lauren Maley, 13, and Caitlin Maley, 11, show a bull red they landed on Trinity Bay. Photo from Capt. Bryan Maley.
Young took his son, Andrew, and three of his former football teammates from Southwestern University for some nonstop redfish action. “It was a typical summertime scene,” Young said. “We pulled up to several slicks and mud boils, and I knew immediately it was a school of redfish.” The whole crew of former college athletes had their rods doubled by bull reds. According to Young, there was plenty of antics and joking during their spree of double and triple hook-ups. “It was blast watching these young men
give each other a hard time about how these fish were putting their muscles to the test,” Young said. One of the football players, Hunter Hazen, ended up landing his personal best redfish. “While Hazen was hooked up with this brute, I joined in on my younger counterparts’ mockery,” laughed Young. “It was all in good fun of course. I told him that he could let the fish beat him and take 15 minutes to reel it in, or he could prove to be the athlete that he was and force him to the boat.”

NATIONAL KANSAS
Lesser prairie-chicken numbers up The latest lesser prairie-chicken survey showed bird populations are up from last year, continuing an upward trend over the last few years. The survey indicates an estimated breeding population of 38,637 birds this year, compared to 29,934 birds counted last year. “This approximately 30-percent annual increase is good news, but we know that yearto-year fluctuations are the norm with upland birds like the lesser prairie-chicken,” said Roger Wolfe, the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies lesser prairie-chicken program manager. “The most encouraging result from the survey is the steadily increasing population trend over the last six years, which likely reflects improving habitat conditions.” Lesser prairie-chickens are found in Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. The shinnery oak ecoregion of eastern New Mexico and the Texas Panhandle saw the biggest annual increase in birds, followed by the sand sagebrush ecoregion of southeast Colorado and southwest Kansas.

New reef in Calcasieu Coastal Conservation Association of Louisiana, Phillips 66 Lake Charles Manufacturing Complex, Building Conservation Trust, the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and DLS Energy began construction on an expansion to the Brad Vincent Reef in Calcasieu Lake.

he looks forward to fishing with anglers who have freshwater experience but are new to saltwater fishing. “Freshwater anglers that don’t have much saltwater fishing experience are a blast to have on the boat,” he said. “It’s awesome to show them how much different the techniques are. When they put it all together and start slamming fish, it makes my day. Their reactions are priceless.” Cisneros says he also looks forward to fishing with seasoned anglers. “I love it when I have an individual or a group of fishermen on my boat that have been fishing much longer than me,” he said. “I like to compare how fishing was back when they were my age to how it is today. It’s crazy to realize how much the sport has changed, and folks like this have a lot of wisdom to share. They’ve seen and

kind of fun. Instead of seeing the strike, you hear the trout inhaling the lure. Plus, you have to remember that it’s all being done in the dark. “That’s a totally new experience for most of my fishermen,” Arrison said. “But once we get out there and start fishing they see how much fun it is.” Most of Arrison’s trips are East Matagorda Bay, although he runs a few in the West Galveston bay area.

experienced things that I never will.” Cisneros said older fly-anglers tend to be some of the most interesting individuals. He appreciates their views on conservation and their respect for the fishery. In addition to fishing, Cisneros is an avid waterfowl hunter and guides duck hunts along the Lower Laguna Madre. He hunts with both male and female labs that he trained himself. Cisneros also guides dove hunts along sunflower fields in south Texas, and will run Cast-n-Blast trips for both dove and ducks. In his spare time Cisneros can be found camping out on the beach and fishing the surf for sharks. If he was left on an island and could only pick one lure to use, Cisneros said he would choose a Super Spook Jr. in a bonecolor pattern.

Caddo and weevils Continued from page 1
Weevils that feed on giant salvinia are reared in a greenhouse and added to infested areas of Caddo Lake to help control the invasive species. Photo by Erich Schlegel, for Lone Star Outdoor News.
“The lake has been busy, busy with fishermen and tournaments. The bass have been hitting good, the bream fishing is really good, and I expect the crappie fishing will be great this winter.” During the weekend of July 20, Speight oversaw the release of weevils, the only natural enemy of the Brazilian giant salvinia, into areas of the lake. “We work with TPWD, they do the spraying and we release the weevils,” she said. “It works well, we target areas where they can’t get in and spray.” The greenhouse was established by a nonprofit group on Caddo, an offshoot of the Greater Caddo Lake Association. “They raised money for the greenhouse,” Speight said. “I’m the only paid employee and it’s part-time.” Once the greenhouse was established, testing was conducted to make sure the weevils wouldn’t eat other plants. “Then we started grazing weevils on salvinia and releasing them,” Speight said. “It can be difficult because the plant is slightly more cold tolerant than the weevils.” The release of about 8,000 weevils took place in backwaters off of the main boat road on the lake. “Usually, you can’t get to the areas by
land,” Speight said “We take the weevils in the salvinia they were reared in and transport them in a pontoon boat, then use mud boats to get back to the affected areas.” The greenhouse plans to complete the release of 200,000 weevils in TPWD’s fiscal year, ending in August. About 170,000 weevils, each adult about the size of a dog flea, have already been released. The weevils produced also have been used on other Texas lakes infested with giant salvinia. “The effort is all about people who are real passionate about Caddo,” Speight said. “We’re the only nongovernmental agency raising weevils anywhere.” The Brazilian weevil helps control the aggressive plant by feeding on the leaves and buds while its larvae attack the rest. Speight said when the salvinia gets established and forms a sunlight-eliminating mat on the waters’ surface, everything is affected, including fishermen. “You can cut a path through it in a mud boat, turn around and your path disappears,” she said. “If you don’t get on plane, you’ll be pushing acres of the stuff.”

NEKO SKIRT: This bass lure by VMC is designed with “living” rubber and silicone that is threaded through the weight and held in pace with an epoxy resin. Conical ribs on the spike-shaped weight anchor it within an angler’s favorite finesse worm without damaging it. This creates a unique action underwater at all water temperatures. It was awarded the 2018 ICAST show’s Best Terminal Tackle honors. The skirts are available in eight color patterns and four weight sizes: 1/32-ounce, 1/16-ounce, 3/32-ounce and 1/8-ounce. A two-pack costs about $3.
AIR CASE: Pelican has introduced the 1507 model to its line of air cases. The lightweight protective case is small and deep: its interior measures 15.15-inches by 11.38-inches by 8.52 inches. In addition to an “empty” configuration, the case also is offered with a divider system of rigid, customizable panels and locking pins; with manually customizable cubed foam; and with padded dividers with a fully sewn tub, felt exterior and high-visibility yellow interior. Its MSRP is $177.23 (with foam) and is available in black, orange, silver and yellow.
