It has been a great time so far with a lot of fishing and a lot of great eating. The internet connection here absolutely sucks at a whopping 19.6 Kbps so I will not be spending much time on the internet. Sunday we arrived and after dinner I met up with a Texas Rodbenders regular called "West Ender" who owns a canal house in Sea Isle. We fished the green lights in the canals and ended up with some nice trout to start the trip off right.  Unfortunately, I stayed up all night fishing and when Bigdog from TRB called me at 8:00 in the morning for an off shore trip I was out of it. Apparently they slayed the kings and snapper and I hear that I am getting beat up on TRB right now...  Monday night I took Connie flounder gigging and I stuck a 16" flounder in the hour or so we walked. It was highly entertaining to watch Connie freak out at everything -- including the snake that swam into our lights... We fished some bayside overhead lights with a friend of mine and she caught sandtrout and small specks almost every cast. We finished off the nights with a stop off at West Ender's green light and caught a keeper trout and came back to the house around 1:30am. Tuesday we fried fish early and I met up with Dean and we headed out to the jetties in his boat and landed some nice trout up to 22 inches and I brought home these great fish.  Wednesday it was time to spend the day with the family and we headed to Freeport to catch a mess of crabs for the pot. My neice and nephew are staying with us here at the beach and they had never been crabbing. We had a ball out there catching a ton of crabs including 21 keepers that we boiled up last night.  Today I am meeting Dean and his wife at the ramp in Freeport and we are headed offshore for some snapper, kings, and hopefully dorado. I think he said the plan is to go out 20 - 30 miles so we will see. Ya'll have a great week and I will report back in when I get a chance.  Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish | ||

Like this King...   I have not been to TRB to check out the harrassment but West Ender told me about it... I'll give a full report on the day's adventure offshore fishing. Let's just say, we caught some fish... Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish | ||

Inshore/Offshore You are tearing up some fish. That is a big king. Too bad they don't taste like those trout. Can't wait to hear the rest of the story. If you're richer than me I think we're related. If you're poorer than me I know we're related. My bass club webpage http://texbass.8m.com/

It looks like you are catching the heck out of the fish this time down. You might want to give the surf a try before you head out. By looking at the webcams down that way, the surf if FLAT!! Did you ever fish the sea isle pier? My family and I are coming down Wednesday and staying in a beach front home in Sea Isle. I'm hoping the surf holds till I get down there. Good going Picou. Looks like one heck of a time. You need to give me directions to your secret crab hole before I head down.hehe | ||

Johnny, give me a call and I will direct you to the crabbing spot. It is best on a high tide or when the tide is coming in. 214-738-4508 I fished the pier one time and it was littered with small specks and sand trout. I gave up on the fishing after Thursday and have only been out in the surf with cut mullet looking for sharks. I caught a small blacktip and a 3.5' hammer head. The water is flat and clear right now and the bait is thick. I just don't feel like messing with it... I have slept in the last couple of mornings and just relaxed. We have bags of fish left and have eaten fish 4 nights. We are having a great time and I have the writeup done for the offshore trip that I will be posting shortly. I forgot to mention that we cooked a medley of fish last night -- grilled snapper, fried angle fish, fried kingfish balls, and grilled bacon wrapped kingfish. Connie made a red wine butter cream sauce to accompany the choices. It was all delicious... (Message edited by picou on August 4, 2007) Thank you Lord for my family and the waters I get to fish |
