I joined this forum to hopefully aquire some fishing buddies in the South Texas area. Here's my story, for what it is?? I began bream fishing around age 3-4 on Douglas Lake in East Tennessee where my grandparents lived on the lake. By age five I was targeting bass and crappie. Even Santa saw my potential leaving me my first baitcaster under the Christmas Tree when I was only six. Over the next few years I was viewed as a strange, quiet kid wondering the banks of Douglas Lake with a huge tackle box, topo maps, and no less than five rods at any given time. As as property values increased in the late 80s, owners of these lakefront cabins (now beginning to resemble beach houses) grew tired of me pulling 5lb bass from under their docks and sunken fish attractors. At age 10 I was making enemies with middle aged men. My solution was a canoe, trolling motor, and a massive Mercedes battery. This opened up most of the Muddy Creek hotspots to me instantly. It wasn't long before Santa (who later turned out to be my father) blessed me with a 12' aluminum with a 6 1/2hp Sears engine (always kept a paddle on board ?). I fished 25+ small tourneys in that boat and won half of them. One could imagine the animosity I had developed with the Sevier County "brass" in their 22' Bullet Boats when I putted into weigh-in with the lunker. Fast forward 25 years and I am a boatless Air Force Veteran who is back to looking for public acces and walking the banks. Now I am living a few miles from Canyon Lake in Texas. Considerably less developed, I have yet to catch any grief from the landowners which has been great. I have an early 2000s pontoon boat that needs some engine work. As soon as I get the motor running and drop a few lawn chairs I will begin tournaments again. That is unless someone on here needs someone to man the back of their Triton! I can pump your bulb like a pro!!! ????? Also, if someone knows someone who could give me a fair price on a tilt trim repair in the New Braunfels/San Antonio area please message me. Sincerely, Your new hillbilly friend Brett! P.S. I really look forward to exchanging ideas with you guys!

I've done as I was asked. At least the best I could. After going over the forums I'd like to ask the anglers of Bass Resource. Where can you bank fish in Comal County Texas? I have no access to a boat. It seems there's very little public beach front withing 30 miles of where I live. I have a couple friends that will let me fish their property. My favorite location has really slowed down. We've gotten lot's of rain so the water has risen significantly. I'm also limited to about 100 yard of area to fish. Central Texans where can I get access to some shore front. Publicly or privately. Cheers!
