Fish Catching Travel
I am getting tired. Day 3 of a long fishing extravaganza. We hit Coleto today and actually fished from 6:15 am to 6:15 pm. We started early throwing buzzbait and caught 6 small ones and one nice one early. From then until about 2 it sucked. The weather was great, but not for fishing. It was dead calm and sunny.
Luckily about 2 it started clouding up and the wind finally started. And from then on they bit better and better. We probably ended up boating 20 plus anyway. I did not fish much, just tried to keep Clyde and Jeff in good position to throw the buzzbait.
Points ended up being the place. No wonder as the water on Coleto keeps falling. When it gets like that the fish seem to always move to the points with the protection of deeper water close by. We caught some nice fish, but lost quite a few in the grass. Clyde finally had the big bite, and it came off. To bad because it was a big bass, it just came unbuttoned.
Shoedog with a nice one.
We caught a couple like the one above, and few more keepers, we just never got the big one in the boat. Shows how spoiled I am when the one above as the biggest is not as good as I would like. But no matter what we had great fun.
I told you about Shoedog’s big battle with the gar, here is a few pictures to hold you over. I have the video of the fight done, I just have to download it to utube. I promise that will be here on Monday so stop in and watch, it is awesome.
Light line and a trout rod, nice job.
We got this jump on video. That this monster did not break his line when he jumped was amazing.
Tomorrow it is off to POC for some redfish. So off to bed we go early. Keep stopping in the next couple of days and I will try to keep up. Thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
