I had a short trip with the Ingram family today. Mr. Ingram quickly informed me that he didn't like to fish past 10:00 and he didn't want to be in chopy water. This limited our options, but we made the best of it. We managed 6 nice trout and 2 big flounder by 10:00 and called it a day. The kids did well and Josh did it all on his zebco rod. They really love to fish and it is neat to see people who really enjoy their time on the water. |

I was part of a 2 boat trip today with Ron and Jon. These guys were better than the movie Grumpy Old Men. They could fish and the kept me laughing all day long. Our first stop netted us 8 nice trout and thenwe scratched for a while picking up 2 trout and 2 nice flounder. We then finished our limit of trout and went to find some reds. We managed only 1, but it was w beauty. Jon caught a 30 1/2 inch red and he made sure to let everyone know about it. We ended up with 20 trout, 2 flounder and a red. This is a yearly thing for these guys and it was really neat to see good friends having fun on the water. I was a replacement for their usual guide today, but they said I am on the team now. I don't know if I could have laughed any harder today. |

I got a late start today, but the fish didn't mind. Tony and I quickly boxed 18 nice trout and spotted a BIG blacktip shark on Mudd Island. The dolphins ate us up today, but the fish are still here. |

I had my cousins in town today and they wanted to try their hand at bay fishing today. The first part of the day was with Thomas Kelly (my cousin) and his brother in law Paul. Jason also rode out with us this morning. It was awesome to spend some time with Tom talking about the "old" days fishing on my grandparents pier and hopping from light to light. We really used to have fun as kids. Jason got off to a quick start with 6 nice trout in the first 20 minutes. Paul and Tom both picked up 1 here. We made a long run and we were instantly back on fish. By 8:00 we had 13 trout and decided to go look for reds. Tom had never caught a nice red and I was going to change that today. The wind picked up, but these guys stuck with it. Jason caught the first one and it went 28 inches on the nose. It was a beautiful big fish. We made a few more moves with no results until it was almost time to go and get Toms girls. Then the rods started bending over left and right. Jason missed a NICE fish. The rod was almost touching the water and the line was peeling off it, but he forgot the hook set in all the excitment. Then it was Tom's turn. He quickly boxed 2 nice reds back to back and then it was time to go get the girls. We changed the crew out and headed back to the trout hole. Kristen quickly caught a couple of nice trout and then we headed back in. It was a great time on the water with family. It was great to see all of them and to get to fish with them. I hope to see them again soon. |

Today I had a few local folks on the water. Elmer brought out Mark and his 2 daughters for a good time today. It was windy so my game plan changed a bit, but it paid off for us. Melissa had the lucky spot today as she seemed to catch a fish everytime she cast her rod. We ended up with 18 trout and everyone had a good time. |

Today I had Dale Groll and his wife Janie. They are old family friends from Kerrville and they made my job REALLY easy today. These 2 are great fisher people and that can make all the difference in a day. Our first anchor was for trout, but it only turned up 3 skipjacks and a small trout. I took this as a sign that we should go redfishing. It took us 3 or 4 anchors to get all of our fish, but we did get some really nice reds. Dale released the smaller (barely legal) fish waiting for the big daddy and it paid off. His last red was a fat 26 inch fish. With our limit of reds in the box, we ran around looking for trout. It was slow, but we managed 8 trout and 6 reds for the day. I really enjoyed their company today and I can't say enough good things about these 2 people. Thanks for the great trip today ya'll!!! |
