St. Charles

Anybody had any luck in St. Charles lately? I really like the area, but never seem to do great. I am wondering if launching from 35 in the back of the bay will produce?

Thanks for the input, I will give it a shot.

I typically use Power Pro with a flouro leader tied with a uni to uni... This works fine for my baitcast set up, but makes my soft plastics "torpedo" or twist through the water when I'm using my spinning gear. This makes a very unnatural motion. Anyone have tips on how to reduce this effec...

Also, watch out for locals cast netting mullet for dinner...

Galveston on foot

Anyone have any tips on where to go without a kayak? Wading areas, piers, are the jetties fishable on foot, etc.... I will be in Houston for business and was going to meet a friend in Galveston who has little fishing experience. It's too bad you can't check a yak on Southwest Airlines. Thanks for th...

Mango, I have concentrated most of my time in the Rockport area and have only been to AP once, and it was out to Ransom Island. What are some areas to concentrate on in B&R?

Kayak rentals around rockport/port A?

Hey guys, does anyone know of a place to rent kayaks in the Rockport-Port A area? It could even be in Corpus, just some where remotely close. Thanks.
