Anyone in San Antonio area should definitely take advantage of the deal Dennis has available at Rodmakers. Use his equipment and get his guidance for $40 on top of rod component cost. (He supplies thread, glues, tools, etc.) He constantly hawks over while you work to make sure you are doing it right. You just sit in back of the store building a rod along side him, asking questions along the way. He could not understand why I would want a fiberglass rod though. He is all about high line speeds at the coast. He is super knowledgeable and a pleasure to learn from. Hey Bulldog, you get to enjoy the river Sunday while I am on a plane! The Medina has always been one of my fav rivers. I took those pics while I was trailing you last week. I am glad you told me about that spot!

I said, "...casting and fishing aren't the same thing." Dennis said, "Yes they are the same thing - they are exactly the same thing." well, we don't get in a fisticuffs or anything

The good thing about not fishing with Bulldog is there are some fish left for the rest of us mere mortals. Left when the hordes of people showed up. I think my new hat gave me some extra mojo. The wind has been howling lately but settled down this morning so I could use my Lami. It cast a 4WF pretty good. The T-130 felt that it overloaded this rod too much. The rod actually cast further than I thought it would. I think it just replaced my Silaflex as my favorite rod!

This area is where the Medina River feeds into the lake. My fav part of the river is from the town of Medina to Bandera. I have been floating this stretch since I moved here ten years ago. There are so many fish in the river it is rediculous. They are mostly small so they get rejected by most people. I have caught 5+ pound bass from this river, it is just that you get compitition from 100 perch to your fly before it sinks to the big fish! I posted a float trip on another thread (Kayak trip) which is on the Medina, but by the town of Medina, not by the lake. I caught over a hundred fish the first day. Guadalupe Bass, I have not tried the BS-100, but hopefully I will soon. I have not really needed a sinking line for where I have been fishing lately, but will need it shortly. Next in store: a Saltwater rod for the coast and big bass. I also will build a 7' Lami.
