Finally we had no wind ,rain or freezing temperatures just some really thick fog. Caught 2 limits of sheeps head flounder reds and trout to boot. The trout bite is picking up on the flats now.

This is my new boat from GULF COAST MARINE before it gets customized . Pictured is Billy Holmes owner of Gulf Coast Marine ,me Doug Stanford ,and Michel Watt cameraman for TexasFishingTips.com .This is the before picture . The boat will feature an enclosed head {potty } for the ladies , crows nest T Top .This will allow me or you to stand on the helm to spot fish . The canvas will be zippered so I can poke my head through the top . Cannan Marine Lights be installed to see what is below at night or just to look really cool. There will be a camera mounted so on all those fishing trips where anything happens it will be caught. Like when the whale shark bumped my boat or when you catch a monster fish . It might just end up on Utube ,Facebook ,Pirates of the Bays blog ,or worse yet TexasFishingTips.com .

Paul and Paul's reds
I had the pleasure of fishing with Paul Burnett and his son Paul Burnett for the last two days. The first day we started out at the jetty and caught 1 slot and 1 over sized red . Then went on to St Joe island where we got several small reds on cut bait. Ran to Paul's Mott only to find several boats fishing my favorite spots. Caught small trout in Big Bayou , and Corpus Christie Bayou on shrimp . Finally landed a 30 inch red at Lydia Ann Channel.
Next day we started at the ferry and limited out quickly ,using cut bait. Moved to the Fena Docks and caught and released a couple of limits of reds with a few over sized reds .
The water was beautiful clear and NO SIGN of red tide .

Whale Shark
Started out this morning first cast caught a 25" trout ,then 18". Moved to the jetties and caught several big spanish makerel . Tried to catch tarpon as they were rolling on top a lot. No luck even throwing live bait at them . Found several Kingfish splashing around so I started throwing topwaters at them . Hooked 4 but they would always bite through the line .They would become airborne when they bit the lure ,coming 10' to 15' out of the water !
The best was when I was fishing 1/2 mile from the jetty in 40' water . Something big bumped the motor .I walked back to the stern when it bumped agian ,and agian. Then suddenly a 20' WHALE SHARK stuck it's tail out of the water next to me. That tail was 4' and not all of it was out of the water. I do not need a bigger boat just bigger hooks!
