Fish Catching Travel
I thought today I might be on the water, but other plans are getting in the way. Of course I never turn down a chance to head to Roy’s Bait and Tackle in Corpus Cristi. I have been in tackle stores in lots of places near and far, but Roy’s is definitely my favorite. Their inventory puts even Bass Pro and Cabela’s to shame.
So with the wife needing a break from continuous study for her recertification boards, we are off to Corpus for a little fun in the sun. A little tackle shopping, seafood eating, and maybe even a little Rock and Roll music tonite, should provide her with the break she needs, and who knows I might even score some good deals at Roy’s. I urge you if you have never been there and are ever in the Corpus area, stop, it is a store for the hard core fisherman.
Lots of kind comments have come in this week and I did want to share a couple with you. Faye is one of my regular readers who keeps in contact. She was reassured when I did not catch squat on Monday, it happens to us all Faye. But then not so happy when I whacked them on Wednesday. She and her husband have a busy business and won’t make it down here in the near future. Don’t worry Faye, I will be happy to catch them for you.
I also heard from Sean in Austin who fishes from a Kayak. He said he likes the posts on the Powderhorn. It is one of the really good areas for Kayaks if there is not to much wind, and I am glad he gets something out of my reports. The Powderhorn is a cool place, and it still gets little fishing pressure compared to places like POC. And if I had to catch a red, I would throw the Redfish Magic there. So good luck Sean, let me know how this weekend goes.
Robert from Austin also sent me a nice note. He has fished the coast since the 70’s and has offered to share his knowledge of the Aransas Pass area with me. Thanks Robert, you are in the research file, and when I get down that way I will definitely give you a buzz and let you put me on them.
I also received a note from JT who I just met last week. He managed to put a couple of rats in the boat in the Powderhorn on the Redfish Magic. That bait can really be addictive. It put 5 or 6 in the boat for me on Wednesday. I plan on fishing some with JT in the very near future. You meet the nicest folks when you share your love of fishing.
Lastly, my brother the Shoedog finally retired. He has been out of town visiting the daughter and grandson, but is back and I expect there to be some serious fishing this week. The weather appears to be settling down. Both the bay and the freshwater reports are improving dramatically. It is about to be my favorite fishing time of the year, the all out bite, and this week coming up should be a good one.
So with all that said, it is off for a little R & R before a week of serious fishing. Keep those cards and letters coming, I love to hear from you. Who knows, I may even sneak out a couple of hours Sunday morning. Thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines.
