Re: Lake Houston/Luces Bayou 12/27

Crappie are more than likely in deeper water right now and will come shallow to spawn between late Feb and mid March when the water temps come up some.

Re: keeping battery charged on overnighters

Doesn't help keep the current fishfinder battery charged, but it never hurts to pack an extra one pre charged in a dirtbag to switch out.


Also, you can buy a boat "cigarette lighter" charger and hard wire it to the extra battery and use it to charge your cellphones or other devices.

Fishing License Problem

Yeah, the secret is to order a new One Day License online every time you go out. Then, make sure you print it out on recycled paper.... Well worth the $1200.

Surfside Sat 8-24

Swells are only 4 seconds apart at 2.4 feet, I'd expect it to be fairly bumpy.... Keep the bay in mind as a backup plan.

Kayaker rescued off Packery Channel

I heard on the radio today about a sailboater falling off his boat in Freeport and swimming 3 miles to shore for help (thank God for his PFD). His craft washed ashore somewhere on Surfside.

really looks nice in all black, compared to my 2013 the keel in front looks sharper so it may track better Think that's just the black causing an illusion. It was a custom ordered color I think it's still a 2013. Makes me really consider forking up the extra cash for a custom color 'd like them to ...

Re: Caught a crane on a top water lure!

I've had a seagull swoop down mid cast and catch a lure on his wing. The best thing to do is take off your shirt and throw it over his head. They don't freak out as bad with their head covered. Glad you had a solid catch and release!
