6' TARPON

I forgot to mention Brad has been catching several Bull Reds over 40" .He also caught and released a 6' TARPON,just before the hurricane.
The water is really clear considering a hurricane came through,there is lots of trash and debris washing up .

Bull Reds at the Jetty

Friday the 19th went to Cedar Byou to see what hurricane Ike did .Nouthing has changed we could only go to 100 yards from the dunes ,very few fish there.Did manage to get lots of small reds at sundown bay,a 20" trout and a flounder.Got some nice oversized reds on a long reef.
Saturday the 20th Went to the jetties at Port A got 5 nice reds before the wind got too rough. Caught 2 nice spanish mackeral and a strawberry grouper. We went down the ship channel and got 9 big gafftop catfish.

Hurricane Ike

Hurricane Ike has not hurt Rockport or Port Aransas ,The beaches have some erosion and lots of trash washed up.Bob Hall Pier got some damage but not too bad .The Horace Caldwell pier in Port Aransas was hurt ,but has been repaired .The hotels and condos are all open .Dolphin Docks in Port A has all ready started trips again.We hope and pray for the best for Galveston and Houston .The motels and condos there will be out for a year or two. I am not sure how South Padre has done after Hurricane Dolly I know they were hit hard too.

New Boat

Here is a picture of my 22 ft. Pathfinder, 150 Yamaha. This picture is not really good. I will post another one when the graphics are put on the side. I also have new pink fishing rods for the "divas" on the boat.

Sunday, August 10, 2008 Trip

Today went out on State Snapper trip offshore. We had several snapper but most were undersized. We did have 3 really nice Kingfish, one over 50 lbs. and a Bonnet head shark. We also lost several "big" fish that got in a rig including a 60 lb. Cobia. This was a really great trip.

Sunday August 3, 2008 Trip

Today was a tough fishing day. The reds and trout were not biting so we went and got a lot of gafftop and mangrove snapper. Still some really good eating. This was a family of four on vacation and they had a really great time.

Saturday August 2, 2008 Trip

This trip was a two boat trip from Capt. Ron Matson. I had several big fish runs, chased them with the boat but they still broke off in the rocks. These were some monster reds. We did manage to boat one 31 incher, an 18 in. flounder, and a couple of nice trout, (and lots of undersized ones). I had four of the greatest guys, great time.
