Coosa on the Colorado River in Texas by Robert Matthews | Jan 15, 2011 | Coosa, Fishing | 4 comments Took the Coosa out on it’s first camping trip on the 29th-31st of December. I packed it down for three days to see what kind of weight it would hold. Could not believe that with myself plus all of the gear that there wasn’t any water coming up through the scuppers. Loaded down with gear. The fishing was great despite the lack of current and the front that was passing through. Paddled into a stiff wind most of the time. I caught the majority of my fish on a Zoom centipede that was Texas rigged with a very light sinker.The first day the tally was 17 bass with the three largest going over 5lbs each. The second day started out as good as the first. The bass were on the same pattern and I ended up with 23 bass on the day with many over three pounds. Met up with other friends for a good night of food,spirits,and conversation. Woke up in the morning and fished the last two miles to the takeout. Did 23 miles total and caught over fifty fish. Great trip. 4 Comments Toby Myers on January 17, 2011 at 1:03 am Howdy! What size cooler is that in the picture, and what brand? Thanks! Toby Reply Robert Matthews on January 17, 2011 at 3:03 am Its an old Coleman that I found laying around in the garage. I think its a 30 quart. I just ordered a 35qt YETI to replace it. I needed something for the summer trips Reply Toby Myers on January 17, 2011 at 10:12 pm Thanks for the quick reply! Those Yeti’s are really nice. I just placed money to hold a Coosa Elite for me at T-G Canoes in San Marcos. I am going to pick it up on Saturday. I’m really stoked!! Reply Robert Matthews on January 18, 2011 at 2:26 am You should be. It is an awesome kayak. I took it out on the Guad on Sunday and did a little fishing. I have another one on order and should be delivered to T&G real soon. Tell Duane I said hi when you get there. RObert Reply Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
