Thanks for the new hat, Larry!
Night Vision: I love to fish at night, but like most people my age I can not see a night anymore. My last attempt was a epic failure ending with a boat tow from Boat US. Has anyone used night vision to run there boat at night. Or, used night vision for anything else that can recommend a quality manufacturer. I have found plenty of them online but it looks like you can spend as little or as much as you want on a pair. Any info is appreciated. FISHING IS LIFE!
Going to be hitting the corpus area late June early July. What are some areas to fish to get on some reds and trouts? I will be on my Tunnel hull boat so I can get in some shallow waters if needed.
One of the things I’ve learned from AnglerU that has helped me a lot is that there really is no such thing as too shallow for reds. Thought my kayak might get stuck but was able to sneak into a back lake and found several reds swimming with their backs out of the water. Ended up with 8 reds and 2 trout for the day, all caught on red/white spook jr’s and white gulp swimming mullets. All fish were caught either within 2 feet of the shoreline, or in super skinny water.
Fun night fishing the lights on the south shoreline of West Galveston Bay. Ended up with 4 reds and 5 trout. First time trying Vudu Shrimp lures, definitely more durable than DOA but the action wasn’t as good IMO. Maybe a little too heavy as both the 3.5” and 3.25” versions weigh 1/4oz.
Trolling Motor Advice - 36V Lithium Batteries
Need some advice to either fork out the money for the more expensive batteries or go with a cheaper one.
Prices and warranties certainly range all over the place, so is it a ‘get what you pay for’ scenario or is there a clear winner, one way or the other?
Trolling motor in question would be the MinnKota Instinct Quest on a 22ft Illusion.
Thanks in advance
Question for the group. If you wanted to primarily fish for redfish and you had to choose between East Matagorda or POC, where would you choose?
Here is the method we have been using to transport rods, so far it’s been great. I like that we can keep all kinds of other gear under the rods and it all stays under the bed lid.
I do agree that rod sleeves would be an improvement but not sure I have the patience to put them on every time. 🫣
Two cargo bars from Home Depot and a couple pool noodles for cushion. Make sure to space them so that the reel sits just in between the two bars.
