Mexico Limits are increasing for New Year because Duck numbers are UP! Check out that gator strap holding weight. Robinson’s Custom Leather.
BURRRRR!!!! Where was all this cold weather when it was Duck Season!? Lets make Duck Season Longer. Ducks are everywhere and it’s the middle of March. Let’s put that on the Trump Train. Make Duck Season Longer! The Economics of it speaks volumes. Only the Hard Core Fishermen get out on the water when its blowing a gale. Duck Hunters on the other hand endure those sketchy conditions almost to a fatal fault. Oh well, there is always Mexico, they close their Duck Season at the end of February. Since Mexico has curtailed their issues we are getting back to exploring their unspoiled Natural Resources, ie Dove, Ducks and Quail. If you are interested in Mexico’s generous limits give me a call. We can hook you up on a Wing Shooting Barrel Burner.
Captain Doug Berry and I have been down there on several Hunting and Fishing Trips with Great Success. He also can reassure you the ease of the Trip. Remember Dove Season starts in August and the Calendar is wide open for now.
Spring Break is in full force here on the Middle Coast. Fishing is and has been better than the weather. You just need some good gear. It almost seems the worse the weather the better the Bite. The Pre Frontal Bite is always a good time to plan a trip. Especially this time of year if you are trying to catch a Wall Hanger Trout. Another key to catching Big Trout is wading shallow water. The Big Ones are about to Spawn. It pays to watch the weather and be very flexible when you can book a trip. Many Guides have a list of Customers that can go at a moments notice. If you can be that flexible it pays to visit with your local Guides and get on that list.
Looks like the Guides at the Jetties are still filling Coolers with Redfish, Black Drum and Big Sheephead. I ran out there the other day with Captain Benny and we caught a mess of Sheephead. We used Light Tackle from Anglers Anonymous which makes catching Sheeps a ton of fun. Lil drag screaming session. They eat good too. We were in POC so we filleted em up and took em to Hurricane for an Awesome Lunch.
The next Day I had a Trip and went into the Back Lakes and scored some Redfish. No monster reds, just solid keepers. We drifted with DSL’S and Tops.
We took those fillets to Bubbas Cajun Style Seafood in Seadrift. It’s Great living between 2 fishing towns. Catch em and we’ll Cook em, Bubba says. I don’t know which is the best, Fried, Grilled or Blackened. So I order em all 3 ways. Um Good!
Congrats and hats off to Team Soft Dine who won the Freeze Out. They had a Monster Strap of Fish. None of us were even close to their weight. A 7# plus trout and 8# Red and 2 other solid trout put em at the top. Those guys have some serious knowledge of this area and are a tough Team to beat. Trust me, I share the water with them on a regular basis, they are good. The Freeze Out Tournament Donates proceeds to Port O’ Connor Charities. This year they gave a Big Check to the Port O’Connor School.
We also have to Shout Out to the Castaway Classic Tournament which benefits Castaway Youth Charities in Seadrift. They had a BIG 1st annual turn out. Those Redfish didn’t stand a chance with the heavy hitters that turned out for that Tourney.
Look! The Texas Middle Coast in Calhoun County has great Businesses that give back so much to our youth. So Shop Local and Eat Local as often as you can. Thanks to all the Sponsors on All the Local Tournaments!
The Sun has finally popped out and the wind is below gale force so we are off to scout for fishing holes.
Give Billy Rhyne a call to book the Lodge and your next outdoor outing. 713 907 4796
Stay Safe on your Spring Break, Don’t Drink and Drive, Buckle UP
