My brother in law and I got to the Guadalupe River State Park at 8:30 on Saturday morning. The park is only a 45 minute drive from downtown San Antonio. It's $6 per person to access the park and $11 for a one-day license. Easy parking 200 yards from the river.
The river is running low because of the droughts that are causing major problems all over the country. That doesn't take away from its appeal though. The Guadalupe is lined with enormous Cypress and Live Oak trees. At many places the trees give way to large limestone cliffs that rise about 70 feet.
Our target was Guadalupe Bass, the State Fish of Texas. We started at the picnic area of the park and fished our way up the river about a mile, wading most of the time. I used mostly poppers and a few different streamers. Using the streamers was difficult since there was little current. I caught several perch on both streamers and poppers. I had a bass (Guadalupe Bass I think) almost within my grasp, but it broke off as I reached for it. That has been happening a lot lately.
We fished for about four hours and then headed to a wedding. Next time I'm giving myself the whole day. Anyone have a favorite spot along the Guadalupe to try out next?
