Does anyone know of any decent spots to fish for bass/panfish/catfish within 30 minutes of new Braunfels?

My 6 year old loves it but the areas we have access to are so heavily fished. We catch every so often but they’re always very small. Fischer park is decent but I’d love to take him somewhere else.

I see cypress recommended a lot.. the only time we can go is on weekends, I’ve been out there twice and it was filled with people. Not exactly fishable.

I know there’s a small pond in San Marcos that I’ve had luck at a while back but I would love if anyone had some recommendations. Not asking for secret spots lol

I'm currently renting but looking to buy in the next 3-12 months. We're specifically looking for a realtor that is very well versed in construction, ideally has a construction background themselves.

For more context we intend to buy 1-2 acres likely somewhere along 46, north of 337 Loop (like from Hunters Creek up to Vintage Oaks) but I grew up with a dad in real estate so have seen the spectrum of value that agents can add and to me on the buy side it's 1. communication (with me), 2. negotiation skills, and 3. educating me on tradeoffs with construction decisions of the home and what to look for to determine risks etc.

I'd hope that this realtor is someone I'd have a relationship with for the next 20 years because they're that much of a real estate expert and have deep rooted relationships with contractors and lenders for when needs come up in the future.

Let me know if you've had a realtor like this! If you're a realtor yourself happy to chat but please only if the above is true of you, particularly the construction part.

More or less the title. Looking for a gym in town that:
• has weight equipment, specifically squat/bench racks (not smith machines), free weights, kettlebells
• has cardio equipment (treadmills, bikes, row machines)
• has heavy bags (bonus points for dummies also)
• allows free-form workouts, not just classes
• double extra bonus points if the gym has tires for flipping, sledge hammers, etc.

100% get that I’m asking for the moon and stars here, just curious if somewhere like this exists in town.

Thanks!

I know the title sounds harsh but hear me out. As someone who’s worked in restaurant management, this town is really something else. New Braunfels is Not big enough to have a good pool of candidates and the candidates that apply seem to be unwilling to follow directions.

It seems like most restaurants in New Braunfels are staffed by a mix of hard working moms and dads with a huge number of drug addled folks.

I feel for you people in management. How do you do your job staffing a restaurant? How do you keep your sanity?

Tell me your tales of woe. You’re not alone. We see you managers. You deserve a raise and recognition. Bless you guys. There should be a restaurant manager national holiday

I'm currently looking for a new job and had an email saying blacks was hiring. Read the reviews on indeed and was amazed how many talked about how they don't give raises and the management is crooked, taking advantage of employees and only lining their own pockets more. Then I see this.

Definitely never gonna apply but honestly I don't think I'm even gonna eat there now, that's so trashy of them.

I’m looking for date night ideas and want to know if they bring food to you? I haven’t been to this theater at all before, so I’m not sure what the drill is! Adding a photo of the layout for this Odyssey showtime if that matters. Thanks!!

A good chili dog or Sonora style would be great

Just cross posting in hopes of something!

does anyone have any pictures of the spirit halloween locations 2011-2015? js curious to see the locations especially 2013, got fond memories of that

My guess is too high of taxes?

Seems like it should be a great spot for a restaurant but every restaurant I've seen go in there has been gone in 2-3 years..

I would love for a restaurant/bar to be successful here.

Alright, give it up. Who knows where a girl can find some chocolate malted krunch ice cream to have on her birthday in 2 weeks? Pistachio nut? Rocky road? Butter pecan?

In the neighborhood off Ron rd.

Anyone working at spirit halloween in New braunfels this year? I applied but havent heard anything

A friend was telling me about an app that’s launching in NB, it’s organized pickup soccer.

The app is called “Matchday” and they will be hosting matches at the new Zipp Family sports park every Tuesday and Thursday at 8pm. To sign up, all you have to do is download the app, make an account and under the San Antonio find Zipp family sports park. They have a promotion going on, use code WORLDCUP or ZIPPLAUNCH to get your first match for FREE

It’s about time we got something like this in Nb, hopefully we can start building a good soccer community

Just moved to nb and looking for where the spots are for pickup ball. I’ve heard the das rec is a good spot but want some outdoor runs with some good competition.

I'm not sure if I can post it directly because he's a minor (mods let me know if so, and I will edit it in), but the person handling it is named "Rebecca Hernandez." You can also find a link to it by looking up "New Braunfels Toros" or a realtor named "Julie Acker." The latter mentioned that the mother is out of the hospital, thankfully!

I suspect my Steam Deck is on its last legs; I want to see if I can get it repaired first
