Fish Catching Travel
I am finally back on track after a little hiatus this weekend. My lovely wife and I celebrated our 25th anniversary in Houston the last few days, and a good time was had by all. Also she knocked off 16 hours of continuing education she needs for her profession, and I got to hit a couple of tackle stores.
For the last couple of years I have wanted to see what the Fishing Tackle Unlimited’s salesman sample sale is all about, and I finally made it this year. I got there about noon, and though there was a line to check out, the madness was about over. There was still lots of stuff, some at great prices, with other stuff not nearly as cheap as it could have been. Other than one shirt, I picked up some baits, lure parts, and a few odds and ends. It was not nearly the sale I thought it might be, but I still saved some money.
The only thing I could not find either there, or Bass Pro, was the right size clevises to make all the spinnerbaits we will need for Canada. Last time we went the pike and muskies chewed up the dozen I took, so this time I am making a pile of them, and they can chew all they want.
I was real interested in finding out how the tournament on Coleto went this weekend. I guess Colby and his dad won, no surprise, they are good fishermen and know the lake like the back of their hand. Apparently a couple of fishermen got into a fight and before it was over the police had to be called. That is all I know about that, but I can assure you that there was some unsportsmanlike conduct somewhere. Come on dudes.
Tomorrow is going to be a quick afternoon trip to hopefully shoot a few Tilapia and then go and sack a few catfish. We caught them last year at this time, so the plan is to have a fresh fried catfish dinner tomorrow night.
Ok folks, I know there has not been any real saltwater reports in a while, but that is about to change. The weather is finally coming around and with Shoedog coming tomorrow night it will be a Wednesday and Thursday saltwater extravaganza. The wind report looks good, and with low tide in the mornings, then warming and rising water in the afternoon, it has the potential to be a real topwater kinda trip. So stay tuned.
Not much else to say except thanks folks. fishcatchingtravel.com had it’s biggest month yet. I appreciate each and every one of you that stop in. Thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
