Is anyone using any of the Z Man brand of soft plastics? I see Captain C.A. Richardson uses them in his Flats Class YouTube videos. I ordered a few of these https://zmanfishing.com/products/herculez

This morning My son and I took the kayaks out and fished a new area that we’ve never been to before. It is called Landers Marsh Preserve located on the south shoreline of Moses lake. It was a much bigger area than I anticipated. We ended up catching 2 slot reds, 1 slot trout, 1 drum, a couple of sand trout, a bunch of rat reds, and 1 flounder (yes they are real). A few were caught on a corky fat boy and the majority on Knockin Tail Lures 4” pink ice. Really like this location as it is protected from most winds and a short drive from Katy.
The weather was crazy, it was windy, cloudy, and kinda cold all morning. As we drove back into Houston the sun was out and it was beautiful outside.

Had a very awesome day fishing with my son Kenneth and Captain Pat Gardner. We were even more lucky when Capt Caleb TV asked if he could join in and bring Jimmy to shoot some video for Angler U. For my son and it was a day for firsts as we both caught our first trout on a Corky Fat boy. We also got to watch and learn from two of the very best anglers on the Texas coast. I’ll share one lesson we learned right off the bat this morning. As we got to our first wading spot you could see a lot of nervous bait and we quickly jumped out of the boat and began to throw topwaters. After 10 minutes of no blowups Pat said to switch to corky fat boys which we did and right away we caught some fish. Kenneth asked Pat why the switch and Pat said with that much nervous bait and no blow ups it was clear the fish wanted something else. Switching quickly like that with all that bait was lesson one of the many we got today.
A special shout out to Angler U for helping to put this trip together.

I know this is a saltwater group but I had to share this picture of this catfish I just caught in my neighborhood lake, caught it on a spinner bait with a bone diamond wig a lo. I’m telling you it’s the AU Hat.
