The Christiansen Family knows the importance of raising their children in the Outdoors. – Capt. Jeff Larson
August was a Hot One for sure! The Fishing and the Weather are what I’m talking about. The 1st week of September was also stifling hot until all the rains came and made it Muggy! With all the rain it has become so much cooler but these Darn Mosquitoes about carry me off every time I launch the boat. You know it’s bad when Skeeters are flying around during the middle of the day. Heck I took a deep breath and swallowed one so BIG it about choked me to death. Mosquitoes Suck!
September is a unique month because it’s the beginning of everything that makes Texas so Great! Fishing remains fantastic. Hunting blasts off! Dove Season! Teal Season! Gators! Bow Season! Plus Football kicks off! Everyone still loves Football, Don’t They? High School and College, for sure! NFL, Well!?!?, that’s a personal preference sorta like whether you use live bait or not, lol.
We have had several good Cast and Blast Days between thunder storms. Redfish have been plentiful along with Trout and Black Drum. Dove hunting has been pretty good in local grain fields. Captain Ron Elkins and I took a few days off to run up to Hondo, Texas to meet my buddy JC. JC has been putting hunters on Doves in the fields surrounding Hondo for over a decade. As the weather would have it, we made a great evening hunt right outside of town. The White Winged Dove were flying out of the sunflower fields by the hundreds. They were flying fairly high so high brass loads were in order. Of course, I went with the economical shells that required a direct hit. Needless to say, my shooting was less than amateur with a bunch of birds needing a good neck wringing. It took Dang Near 4 boxes to get the 15th bird in the bag. Capt. Ron had a much better bird to shell ratio. So it was off to Wally World for some high brass 5’s. The next morning was a wash out until the afternoon when the sun poked out for us to get onto the nicely groomed parking lot. It wasn’t long before the white wings were buzzing back to town. The hotter loads and bigger shot size was the ticket for getting the Texas Limit before Sunset. The final morning was met with no rain so Ron, JC and I went for a quick shoot before we had to come back to the Coast. It took a couple hours to get a limit between us and we headed south to get ready for some charters that were coming up on the books.
September is setting up to be the RAINIEST month of the year. It might even be a rainfall record.
Yesterday was yet another rainy day with a break in the afternoon so we put a quick scout trip together. Captains Doug McClung, Doug Berry, his son, Airplane Captain JR and I piled into JR’s Gulf Coast and headed east from POC. It was a classic, “shoulda been here yesterday” scenario. All kidding aside, We poked a few trout and reds in 2 spots then headed back to the dock. It’s always a great fishing trip when we have a day off to team up with one another to go scout and check on new real estate.
We had a Great Month Hunting and Fishing. Come get you some!! Billy Rhyne is at the Helm of Booking. Give him a call at: 713-907-4796.
