Hybrid bite was fire today!! The drag pulling action was fast and furious and the limits came quick!

Looks like the end of next week shapes back up good weather wise! Let’s book a trip!

That’s a wrap!!

We had a trip book for the very last day of 2024, to wrap up a great year of fishing with Chums on the Water! We reeled in lots of memories this year!!

Today we had Micheal and his 2 grandsons out aged 8, and 11. It was less than ideal conditions for sure! Cold and windy. The wind never really let down like it was supposed to. It finally let down the last hour of the trip so I could get on my best spot and these guys stuck it out and put some fish in the boat!!

These 2 kids did great and were very patient while I checked spots for fish.

Now it’s time to get the 2025 fishing season started!

Casey got to get out with our good friends Rob and Coop yesterday and stretch a few lines! We also enjoyed a nice burger lunch over at The Quack Shack!

Brett took his son Cash out today on his first trip to ever drift for blues. He had a day of filled with PB’s! Back to back to back!

“We started off on a spot I recently found last week, and posted some video on and hit a 13 lber pretty quick. After 1 drift some people decided to set up with us ( 🤦‍♂️) so I decided to try a brand new spot I’ve been wanting to try. Less then 10 min into that drift he caught an 18.4! We got that one in, rebaited the rod and continued same drift. Almost at the very end of it he hooked up with a 26.2 lber! You can see in the video it was all he could do to even pull the rod up on that one. Pretty good trip for 2 hours of fishing!”

Today Brett ran our first trophy blue trip of the season, and it was a day of personal bests! First drift of the morning was a 10 lber and was her biggest blue to ever land. Then we broke that record with a 31.4. After that we decided to get one more PB, and broke that one with a 45.7 lber!

It was a great day of catching. Several more smaller fish were caught and released, and a HUGE-one rolled and pulled off before we could net her right after the 45 lber. I’d put it in the 60 lb range.

We are running our trophy trips for $500 for December only. Get with us and book!

Awesome review from Saturdays trip that the customer asked that I share!

Could you post below review on behalf of Justin Alexander - thanks

Brett was amazing. He called the day before and explained it was going be cold at 7A and offered to change our time to start at 8A. Needless to say, that made a huge difference in a successful trip. I along with son-in-law and friend had a great time. 10 stars!!!

Today we had Robert back from our veterans and first responders trip we ran a month ago. He talked his buddy Justin and his son to come out and book a trip with us.

Boy what a difference a day can make! After having to work for them yesterday, I decided to try some different water, and a completely different technique, and these guys loaded the boat!

They put 64 keeper sand bass in the boat, and one big hybrid, and still threw plenty of keepers back!

We have December wide open! Let’s book a trip!

Today we had Saul out again. He went on a trip back in the summer, and booked another the day after Thanksgiving so he could take some relatives out who were in town. 2 of them had never fished, or casted before.

It was a cold morning, and the fish had moved, but after some practice they all managed to catch fish! They are going to have a fish fry tonight before everyone heads home. We had to change up tactics today to catch them. The fish are definitely on the move!!

Today Brett had Josh out with his dad Jason and their 2 friends. They drove in from Longview. They booked our 6 hour multi-species trip and wanted to catch some eater blues and sand bass to stock up their freezer.

“They loaded the boat with both! After getting 80 fish, 40 cats and 40 sand bass they caught and released the rest. These guys caught fish all day long!!”

We still have a few days available for this and weather looks great! Let’s book a trip!

Today Brett had Wendy Hinsley out again. This made her 3rd trip with us this year!! We appreciate our repeat customers! ❤️ she always catches fish.

“Her last two trips were sand bass trips so today she wanted to catch some catfish. She caught her limit of cats pretty easy, with a few good ones! After that she wanted to add some sand bass to her catch to load her freezer up for the winter. The bite was a little tougher today, but she managed to put a few good sandbass in the box as well. Looking forward to the next one Wendy!”

We still have Saturday and Sunday available and the weather is going to be premo! Let’s book a trip! www.chumsonthewater.com
