Big winds kicked us out of the surf and back into the bays starting Saturday. Wade fishing proved most effective taking scattered Trout and Redfish for the effort. Boatbound anglers having lots of challenges at the moment so it looks like we’re in for a transition heading into the meat of the month. We’ll be looking for winds to back down again more typical of July with fish going deep over shell if water quality allows. If it stays windy, mud/grass will be the bailout working mud pockets and grass lines and that typically means we’ll be seeing some really big Trout and solid Redfish in August.

Flounder Gigging

Staying productive through the moon phase with lots of nice fish hitting the shorelines. Capt. Chris Cady and Capt. Jeff “Limit” Larson worked them over pretty good over two nights (2 nights harvest pictured).

New Lodge Facilities

We’ve got numerous new focal points at the lodge including our massive new indoor dining/conference building capable of seating 40 guests and then there’s the Bayou Complex. We’ve grown from a half acre footprint to 3.5 acres and 700’ of water frontage on Haley’s Bayou; lighted pavilions and horseshoe pits; Hill Country Flagstone Bayou Fireplace; a massive family room for cards & dominos or kicking back and relaxing; full size beds for couples; accommodations for 40 guests rich with Texas hospitality in a “Coastal Casual” atmosphere that our guests have come to know and love; and, the best staff and guides in the business. Come see us!

The Fishing Is Always Best When YOU Can Get Away!!

I was fishing in Port O’Connor on June 26 and caught the most beautiful redfish I’ve ever seen, with 8 spots total (arguably 9).
As you can imagine, being from POC, I’ve done a vast amount of fishing in my 34 years but I’ve never seen a red with so many spots. My eyes just lit up with excitement.

I hope everyone that loves fishing as much as I do, can appreciate the rarity of this impressive beauty.
Below are photos of both sides of the fish. -Kristen Weathersby

June 11 rough ride out, but well worth it. Spencer David landed a record king (above photo) with the help of Captain Matt Jenson of Coastal Bend Charters. Kelly and Kenny Waters and Peyton Martin stayed busy catching snapper and amberjack. Incredible trip! – Kelly Waters:

 Group from Centerville Texas with recent catch fishing with Capt. Ron of Scales and Tales Guide Service of Port O Connor. After a early morning departure from the dock, croakers were used to land the fish in a short time. They are looking forward to their next outing. Capt Ron Arlitt 361-564-0958

The big boats may be offshore catching the really big ones during Poco Bueno, but Weston Kane, age 9, did pretty good closer in. He caught his first keeper redfish, 23 and 25 inches, while fishing with grandfather, Joe Wiatt.

The Liberal “news’ is full of celebration that Hillary Clinton has been ‘given a pass’ on her Criminal Negligence and arrogant refusal to abide by Federal Rules on handling Classified Information.  The Liberal Progressive Propagandists try to convince us that “ getting away with not being prosecuted” is the same thing as “innocent” or “not guilty”.  NOT SO! It is obvious that Hillary has lied to the press, the people, Congress, and probably the FBI investigators. It has been recently revealed that Hillary was not questioned under oath or the interrogation recorded. Curiouser, and curiouser.  This “Investigation” is looking like a Soap Opera written by Lewis Carroll.

18 U.S.C Section 793-F Definition of ‘gross negligence’ appears to include exactly what Hillary did:

“(f) Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession or control of any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, note, or information, relating to the national defense, (1) through gross negligence permits the same to be removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of his trust, or to be lost, stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, or (2) having knowledge that the same has been illegally removed from its proper place of custody or delivered to anyone in violation of its trust, or lost, or stolen, abstracted, or destroyed, and fails to make prompt report of such loss, theft, abstraction, or destruction to his superior officer—Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.”  Emphasis added.

Note: “Gross Negligence” is a felony, and like the lesser Misdemeanor charges on mishandling Classified info also contain the punishment of banning from holding any Federal Office ever again.

A transcript of FBI Director Comey’s statement:  http://dailycaller.com/2016/07/05/transcript-fbi-director-james-comeys-statement-on-hillary-clintons-emails/ It sounds like an elaberate excuse for even though Hillary is guilty of every one of the points, and more, there is no way we can indite, try, or convict her under the current Administration and Political Correctness.  30,000 deleted Emails returned to the State Dept, many contained Classified Info including some that were Top Secret/Limited Access. These led to finding thousands of others, some that were “up-classified” and some that were clearly marked “ Confidential, Secret, or Top Secret”. Her server had no protection, not even as much as normal public servers. She also sent Emails from countries thet ‘may have hostile intentions’ and her Emails went through their servers. Basically, Hillary showed no reasonable regard for security, she wanted her Emails to be outside of any Freedom of Information Requests and public oversight. Obama and others in the administration knew that she was using a private unauthorized server in violation of Federal Law and are also guilty of Culpable Negligence. (See (2) above)  In closing Comey said, “Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. Prosecutors necessarily weigh a number of factors before bringing charges. There are obvious considerations, like the strength of the evidence, especially regarding intent.* Responsible decisions also consider the context of a person’s actions, and how similar situations have been handled in the past.”  Perhaps Director Comey could have saved time and gotten better info by politely asking Vladamir Putin for his copies of Hillary’s Emails.

* What he is really saying here is that they can’t prove intent to intentionally commit treason and harm the United States; and with the Current Administration, Liberal Media, and Political Correctness, Hillary Clinton is “above” prosecution for things that would demand felony trials for ‘Normal Americans’. Normal enforcement of laws do not apply to the Democrat Party Insiders. The “Teflon Umbrella” that covered Bill Clinton, Barack Hussein Obama, and his wife Michelle also covers Hillary Clinton. Because they cannot prove “Criminal Intent”, she gets to “walk”.  If there was “Equality Before the Law” all the drunk drivers, even convicted of ‘Vehicular Homicide’ are ‘not guilty’ unless the Prosecutors can prove that the the perpetrator INTENDED to get drunk, and INTENDED to kill someone while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Obviously a prosecutorial impossibility.  And a total perversion of the Law.

The Federal law does not require “Intent”.  “Gross Negligence” is what it is, and Hillary in her arrogant refusal to abide by Federal Law is ‘guilty as homemade sin’! She did it “for convenience” and because because she did NOT want her correspondence to be subject to Freedom of Information requests. This is not a “secret”, and should show some “Intent” to avoid any scrutiny by Patriots that try to keep the Federal Govt somewhat “honest”, if possible. “Intent” to avoid ‘Conventional Oversight’ is a definite indication of “intent” to break the rules and the Law. So the excuse that she did not “intend” to treasonously give info to our potential enemies is not a viable excuse, and certainly not a “Legal” one. The Current Political Correctness is “Hillary Clinton cannot be held to any standard of competence or responsibility on anything, for any reason, because the  Liberal Democrat/Socialist Establishment want her to be President.”  Period! Facts do not count. Honesty and even a moderate amount of competence and responsibility are NOT NECESSARY??  As this investigation progressed, Hillary lied to the citizens, Congress, and investigators about every step. She knew she was not operating within the State Dept guidelines & the Law, she deleted Official Business Emails, especially those that she knew were in violation of the law., she knew some of the info was Classified, and even some was Secret, even Top Secret/Limited access. There obviously was the “Intent” to avoid responsibility for violating the Law, and that “and fails to make prompt report of such” is a further violation of the Law, also by all involved. Trey Gowdy shows Director Comey there was knowledge of crime and intent on Hillary’s part:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvw6OxFeerc Entire Comey hearing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ai1Z8OtEjU
And what is the difference between “Extreme Carelessness” and “Gross Negligence”, especially for a Sec State?  Hillary has avoided charges in many previous investigations by careful lying. She has gotten away with doing so much wrong for so long, that she thinks she is ‘Untouchable’, and once again she has gotten away with it. Bill Clinton was disbarred as a lawyer for lying under oath.  Barack Obama and his wife were both forced to “voluntarily surrender” their Law licenses to avoid prosecution. Hillary’s Law license was suspended in 2002 “ for failing to complete her continuing legal education requirements”.  Why does the Democrat Party keep fostering these failed and even “criminal’ lawyers on us as “Leaders”?  We know we can NOT trust them. Hillary is a serial liar, proven to be incompetent at any level, and she will not take responsibility for anything. All her “troubles” are caused by this “Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”.  Laws, Standards of Professional Conduct, and an expectation of reasonable honesty by the voters seem to be most of the “Conspiracy” against her. Her lies have boxed her in a corner, this is just the beginning of the repercussions as the truth comes out. ‘Failure to Indite’ does NOT equal “Exoneration”. This is not “going away quietly”. This is a far worse violation than many that put regular people in prison, and worse than the violations of Tricky Dick Nixon that caused him to resign the Presidency. This Soap Opera will continue. I’m confident that more info will be available by the time this paper hits the streets.
