Squinting in to harsh
evening glare, I could
have sworn the plug “humped”
against the swirl of a large predator.
Anticipation jumped even higher as
what seemed a million ducks exploded from
the flat. I let the big bait sit for a five count
and then thrashed it side-to-side three times.
Over the last few years,
many people who fish for trophy trout in the
Baffin Bay/Upper Laguna Madre system have
developed what I call a “February obsession”.
This attitude is borne of more than myth and
legend; real, significant factors spur developing
novice and expert anglers...
Okay — first my apologies for not being able to
complete my “Nostalgic” article in time to meet the demands of
our slave-driving Editor. I have excuses, none of which you would want to hear
but trust me it will get done. I know this because the “Boss” said he wants to go
along with me and take pictures and fi sh with some of the old gear.
Happy New Year
everybody! I've been thinking of ways to expand the services I offer in
my guide business. I wanted something
that would be fun and productive and
offer new ways to enjoy the outdoors. I'm now
a member of the pro staff for Jerry B's Kayak
Sales in Flour Bluff and am doing half and full
day kayak fishing and birding trips in nearby
waters.
To the casual
observer the sight of a fishing boat during January is
a cry for help; somebody has lost
their mind and needs psychiatric evaluation. To
the hardcore fishermen pulling that boat, all the
traffi c on the highway means less on the bay and
that brings a smile to their face.
So try it today, just click on the computer above!
EDITORIAL We Still Have Our Fish And Our Friends
I drove down to the west end of Galveston the other day to restock our retail locations that are
back up and running. I think by now everybody has had a chance to view stacks of photos on the internet. Even though it’s been more than two months
since Ike crashed ashore the devastation and debris is unbelievable and the folks who lost so much are still in my prayers. Read More
