Great Day in POC with the GodFather aka Scott Null & Mike jones on his Sabine skiff first time experiencing that which I totally recommend trying only problem was the tide was to high they were mainly hiding in the mangroves & tall grass couldn’t get to them did see two school wasn’t able to get any but Mike sure did I was able to get one rat red on my Sarge TheBoss rod with saltyhundo bates reel with 6th sense wake bait live croaker model 🎣🤙🏼

There was a question on the Q&A the other night about what wave conditions we’re looking for when we go tarpon fishing and what is considered too rough. It’s always hard to get video that really shows how rough and choppy it is, but I took this video Wednesday on our way back home. This is what approximately 2’ at 2 seconds look, with a few legit 3fts James had to pull back on. It was a long rough boat ride back. It was never really nice that day, but the morning was much better than this. Once the wind switched directions and started picking up and blowing against a really hard current, it got choppy really fast. We knew the forecast showed this happening so it was no surprise.

James runs a 25’ Whaler so even though it’s not comfortable it can handle those conditions just fine. If I would have had to make that run in my 24’ recon it would have been absolutely brutal.

But if those 2’ waves were spaced out at 7 or 8 seconds it would have been a completely different different story. When you have high wave heights spaced close together it’s hard to fish in it and it’s rough as hell running in it.

If you’re wanting to get in the beach front in your bay boat but haven’t done it before, I would recommend waiting until you get something like 1’ or less wave heights spaced out at least 6-7 seconds apart to try it. If you get out there and don’t feel comfortable in it just turn around and head in and wait until there’s even calmer conditions to get out there.

Also, keep in mind that if there are any squalls in the area you can pull some wind off of them that will rough the water up a bit until they clear the area and it calms down again.

And always keep an eye on the weather radar throughout the day.

Trying to see if there’s 10-12 anglers that would like to take part and book a 3 day trip down to the chandelier islands and fish off one of these mother ships. I know a few of us discussed this at the feeding frenzy this past Saturday.

Pretty cool catch when we were out on a recent tarpon trip. I saw something that looked like it was floating off the bow of the boat. I pointed it out to Cameron who had an elevated view from the perch and he said it was a small ling. I kept an eye on it while he grabbed the small spinning rod James carries on the boat in case we see a triple tail. Cameron casted and that ling went straight to the lure and smoked it. Not exactly a tarpon, but it was pretty cool. Didn’t measure it, but it was somewhere in the 28”-30” range I think

Glad to be back in gorda

Nice weekend had a great day Saturday- the tide was up high but paddled back as far as I could get and found several reds tailing. Haven’t been able to kayak fish in a while but noticed that the shrimp popping around were a lot bigger in size. Got to enjoy an Aggie win afterwards and even the Texans somehow managed to get a W!

Anyone know if the live is happening?

Nice way to start the day with a 29” 8# red. West Galveston bay. Caught on. KDEN Lures 365 Shad in the blue crab color.

Want to give a big shout out to Capt Lolo out of Port O’Conner and Mike Butler at Angler’s Anonymous. I was lucky enough to win a trip from that raffle that supported the Central Texas Relief Fund. Had a great morning wading with my dad, the reds were absolutely destroying topwaters up shallow on the shoreline, we caught easily over 20 reds all together. Work has been whooping my ass so it came at a perfect time! Big thanks again to those guys for the generosity.
