Fish Catching Travel
Sorry there has not been a report the last few days but the President of Team Nancy wanted to visit Eagle Pass, maybe a little casino play, so Monday we headed out and did not get back until today. So of course once we got down there I got an offer to fish offshore today. Dang It! I would have been all over that one. I rarely get to fish offshore, and love it when I can. Heck, I am already cranked up about November and offshore fishing in Costa Rica.
Now if that was not torture enough, my buddy not only offered to let me go with them offshore fishing, he sent me this:
The thought of hand to hand combat with a couple of these girls gets my heart to pumpin’.
A friend of his sent this picture to him. He was out in his new boat and these tarpon come from the POC area, specifically where he did not say. According to his text they were “everywhere.” There is only a couple of weeks window to really have a legitimate shot at a tarpon in our area. And of course the Mako is still in the shop following the pipe encounter, or I would be after them tomorrow. I have not bothered the repair shop, but I knew when they said a couple of weeks it meant a couple of months. Hopefully that is not the case, but no matter what I do not have the flats boat to chase them if it is windy. I love my Carolina Skiff, it is great for fishing close, but just not the boat for coming back from the jetties when the wind is blowing.

While you are at it, click on the website below, and look at the opah. They we caught on the offshore boat, Excel, one of the great head boat fishing adventures in the country. It is close to a bucket list trip for me, and they report tearing the tuna up. And once in while they catch something cool, and I think these are cool.

I really want to thank the reader from Kingswood TX for his kind words. Wish you had left your name so I could give you a shout out, but know I appreciated your comment. I appreciate any of you who contact me, as I have said so many times, let me know what you think. For this to stay fresh I need to hear from you.

I will be out first thing in morning. We have a 8:30 high tide with some good water flow so it will definitely be a out at daylight day. Of course one of the goals, besides catching the snot out of them, will be to catch a red on that fancy new rod. Keller Bay is the place, and I promise to post a report tomorrow. Also, I hope to have few pictures from the boys offshore. So keep stopping in and thanks for reading my stuff.
Good Luck and Tight Lines
