Re: Finally, decent Redfish on the fly

I fly fished a couple of times in the salt with nothing to show. I am new at this and hope to catch something someday. I can feel your excitement of your first red on the fly. If you fish Galveston /Christmas bay area let me know . Hard to find guys who like to fly fish.

Re: Anyone have any luck with the YUM Money Minnows?

They definitely work at night , have not tried during the day yet . If you see them on clearance buy them . Don't seem to last as long as I would like , the reds and trouts tear them up pretty good .

Re: Monday, 1/30/17 - Slow Day Confederate Reef and Marsh Gone!

I fished the reefs to the east of south deer island and got no bites on Monday . Saw few mullet jumping . Where did the fish go . I did find some 7-8 foot deep holes but nothing as far as bites . Wonder if the fish are getting smarter since that area receives lot of fishing pressure.

Re: Viking profish reload leaking

You can fill your kayak with 50 to 70 percent water and see if any water is leaking from inside out. . If no leaks upright then flip it upside down, after you close the hatches and see where the leak is coming from. Wherever water goes in , then it will come out from the same places as well . Hope t...

Re: Wed or Thurs 22nd/23rd Anywhere on Bolivar

not a lot of good reports from high island lately (mc faddin area ), but if you chunk cut horse mullet from mcfaddin area you might get some bull red action if you stay in the muddy water . start out just past the breakers in about 6 to 8 feet depending on tide and then work your way out from there....

Re: need an update!!

Reds hang out where the bait is. I wonder if the shrimp boats are actually reducing the number of shrimp in the area . Hence the reds have to move around more to get food. So as a result the numbers of reds caught last year and looks like this year seems a lot less than the years before. Another the...
