Re: plecostomus in ponds

Max, there is not a park on greens bayou by I-10. There was a spot that people used to fish at right beside I-10 but I passed by there today and it looks like they are gating it up. I'm not sure but I think they already had the barbwire on it. I didn't have my glasses on.

Well, count me in for the trip whenever you guys go. Although, I already have a couple plecos I caught in Florida...can I go and try to catch other fish, or is this a "plecos only" party?  :)

Re: plecostomus in ponds

Yes, Jose I do not know of a good place to fish on greens bayou. It is better if we fish in a park with picnic tables, shade, and bathrooms. Sometimes ten people show up for one of these expeditions. Mzungu, We fished for plecos on the first safari and caught all kinds of fish execpt plecos. I still have some nice mollies from that trip. Everyone is welcome and I hope we catch at least some plecos.

When are you guys planning this?

Re: plecostomus in ponds

When do you want to go? Where do you want to fish? I was thinking about when it cools off some in September or October. If someone is going to buy an annual fishing license it makes sense to wait until after August 31. I understand the Buffalo Bayou and Waugh Drive location has the picnic tables, bathrooms and stuff that I want. What do you all think?

Re: plecostomus in ponds

And those of us that bought an anual licence for the first safari will be covered until the 31.

Makes no difference to me as I will renew mine anyway.

Re: plecostomus in ponds

I vote for waiting for it to cool off, but I'm just going to get a daypass so it doesn't really matter either way...

Re: plecostomus in ponds

Same here - as long as it's after all the 99+ degree days! It's a good idea for me to have a license all the time anyway.

Re: plecostomus in ponds

Looking at my monthly weather planner it looks like the temperature will be below 90F about the middle of September:

What do you all think of having the event September 23rd or September 30th? Let me know your preference or if it just does not work.

I can't make it on the 23rd, I have tickets to a Fightin Texas Aggie football game.  8) So far as I know, the 30th is good for me.

Re: plecostomus in ponds

Either works for me.  :)

Re: plecostomus in ponds

I will schedule it for September 30th. We can all bring a picnic lunch and meet at the park at Buffalo Bayou and Waugh Drive around noon.

Re: plecostomus in ponds

My best friend put a pleco in her pond 2 years ago and he is still going strong.  I have heard of them in the local bayous but I wouldn't want to introduce coliform bacteria into my tank or pond.

Re: plecostomus in ponds

The weather has cooled off a lot. I need to pick up a fishing license. Fishing is not required by the way. A lot of people are coming for the picnic.
