TOUGH FISHING

On Friday, we went outside the jetties, it was too rough and windy to stay on a rig and catch fish, too rough to fish the jetties, so we came in, loaded the boat and went to Copano Bay. We caught lot of small Redfish and some small trout. One of my guys did catch a "Texas Slam", which is a trout, redfish, and flounder of legal size. Of special interest is that he caught these all on artificial lures, Berkley Gulp.

Saturday only Jerry went with me today, Chuck was not feeling well. It was tough fishing again. We caught some small reds. The jetties were pretty rough, we couldn't fish offshore so we headed into the bays. We caught one 5 lb. Black Drum and 10 Mangrove Snapper before calling it a today. It was a little stormy, windy, and rainy but we still had a good day.

These guys are from Hobbs, New Mexico and have been fishing with me all this week. They come here twice a year for fishing, fishing, fishing. I estimate that they took back approximately 400 lb.'s of fish filets. We had a great time and I really enjoy these guys and can't wait until they come back.
