I would love to have some kind of insane story to share but nope! Power-Poled down today at the speed of the current and SNAP…total knuckle failure on my Blade. That’s the bad news, the good news and a huge shout out to Chris’s Marine in Aransas Pass! They had the part, were courteous and professional, I picked it up, took me 20 minutes to install and back up running!!
I’ve got Mule slough to Fish pond figured out but from Fish pond to lighthouse what cut am I needing to take ? I have a super shallow running boat and know to go on a positive tied just want to run it without doing any damage to the bottom. Thanks fellas.
Fishing Thermoclines During Summer
If you've been wading recently, you've likely encountered colder pockets of water near the bottom. This transition layer between the warm surface water and cool, dense water below is called a thermocline. For example, if the surface water temperatures are 88 degrees, the layer below can be two to three degrees cooler.
During the hottest parts of the day, fish gather along ledges and drop-offs to escape the heat, holding close to the bottom where it’s cooler. Here, they conserve energy and won't chase down their prey aggressively unless it’s within close range. Knowing this, slowly working soft plastics on the bottom will produce strikes from trout, redfish, and flounder.
Went To Corpus For the 4th for the first time ever and looked for kayak launches on google maps that had grass flats leading to a drop off with small grass splotches and ended up with 8 over slot trout and 10-12 smaller trout.
Fished from 6am-10:00am.
Good day fishing with a few friends, soft plastics and topwater
Hope every one has a blessed & happy July 4th on the water! Tight lines 🎇 🎣 🤙🏼 🎆 🇺🇸 🫡
Sea Tow vs. Tow Boat USA
What one is better? I primarily fish Matagorda but will be taking the boat to Louisiana next month. Trying to decide if with it or not.
Had a great day on the water with my son Keith and Captain Scott Null who agreed to jump on my boat and help me lay some tracks in POC. It was a huge help to learning how to navigate in and around the area. As a fairly new boat owner Scott also took the time to give me several tips on properly running my boat. It definitely helped that Scott had ran a Patriot before. It’s amazing how well he knows the bay and he doesn’t have a GPS on his poling Skiff. Thanks again Scott!!
