It doesn't matter if the rod is or isn't bent... time spent catfishing is time well spent!

This is my nephew Constantine Tsialos, we call him CoCo. 

His lovely family is from Zakynthos Greece (look it up on the map - it is beautiful). CoCo wanted to experience a TightLine Catfishing trip while in Texas.  

So, we set sail on the 13.5 foot - USS Sassy!               

                                   This is a secret spot near Ridgewood Country club - in a cove.                                            Very calm waters. We are using the Super Secret bait - hotdogs and shrimp!

We started out VERY slow - it was almost as if we were trying to catch the allusive Devils Hole pupfish (rarest fish in the world).  But, then the story changed and...

CoCo's positive attitude never waivered - we searched out other honey holes and caught some big catfish smiles. CoCo is a natural catfisherman!

TightLine Catfishing is patience and faith - awaiting a nibble! 

Total caught on this day - 12 Cats (Channel and Blue) for 23 lbs. 

Mastery and TightLine  

Mastery catching catfish (like anything else) is a wonderful goal because it can’t be bought, rushed, inherited, or taken from anyone. 

It’s all about hard work, dedication...

and Prayer,

We have a weapon - DazyDoodleDug.

I don't know how, but just like Sassy before her, she can sniff out a bed of Catfish!

This week we sniffed out 75 cats over two days...  ave wt. 1.7 lbs.

Lake Waco water temp was 49 degrees and we catfished in 8-9 feet of water...

We do not max out every time - but, come close - practice, practice, practice

 

These Beach Chickens (lake gulls) LOVE flying around Dazy and are always a welcome sight...

 

One, of many things my parents have taught me:

Happiness isn’t something you can travel to or own, earn, wear, or consume. It’s all about how we experience life in each moment, filled with love, grace, and gratitude. Enjoying the little things and cherishing what we have is where true happiness lies!

This is a picture of my Dad and Sassy inspecting a Blue Cat

I am so thankful for my Dad and the journey he has lead me on... lots of love!

 

The USS Sassy Catfishing vessel has been host to 1000's of Cats and millions of memories.

We have been blessed with plenty of calm waters FULL OF CATFISH!

This is definitely not one of our Cerviko fish, as we release any that weigh over 15 pounds. However, this particular catfish was happily smiling because Rick gave it a kiss before releasing it back into the water to grow a bit more!

Its like my great aunt Ella once (almost) said:

For life is a Catfishing poem to leisurely read, 

and the joy of a TightLine Catfishing trip lies not in its speed.

Give us a call in 2025 for a catering or charter!
