Re: Sunday Beach Camping Trip

looks like a great time. I have been wanting to do that myself. We usually go to Matagorda and fish 3 mile. Nice to ahve the marsh and the Gulf close together. Need to set up a group trip I guess.

Re: Goose Island Camping Trip

If you camp on the water the skeeters won't be as bad, if you camp away from the water be sure and have several thermocells or other skeeter repellent.

Re: Blue Crab as Bait - Regulation Interpretation

No more than 5% in a separate bucket. If you have 20 crabs on more than 5% can be illegal. Sometimes I have 20 plus in a trap I always take keepers put em on ice rest in the bait bucket.
