I’m meeting up with heatstroke at DP. Anyone is welcome to join. We are meeting where the power lines switch sides of the road at 830

Sound good Bigfost, please let me know!

I know it's Thanksgiving, but I'm thinking about fishing High Island on Thursday and possibly Friday. If anyone is interested going, please let me know.

Thanks bigfost!

A few newbie questions for y'all:

Has anyone been out to DP or HI lately? Is BTB fishing still good around that area this time of year? How long does the bull run usually last? Where do most people fish this time of year?

Hey bigfost, unfortunately I am only available Tuesday and Wednesday. I'll send you my number, if you can fish either day, please let me know. If not, we will try again another day!

Sounds good bigfost, hopefully the weather holds up and we can go out.

The surf is looking really flat Tuesday and Wednesday at dirty pelican. Anyone going out?

Thank you everyone for your responses! I had no idea about the line of sight rule. Sounds like the HX300 is one of the best options out there right now.

It looks like it applies to several units:

As always you go above and beyond to help us Newbies,. Thanks Yakety_Yak!

Thanks Kickingback, sounds like a good unit.

What wattage do most of your VHF radios have? I won't be going BTB frequently, but I would like to go out every once and a while and be safe and able to communicate with others on the water. It seems like the higher the wattage, the more expensive the radio. I've read a few reviews that said 2.5W wi...

This was my first BTB trip out and after the adrenaline of going through the surf, I'm addicted! I successfully landed 3 bulls and had many short runs without successful hookups. Not only was this my first time out, this was my first time seeing a bull red up close. When my first one broke the surfa...

I think I can be available on Wednesday and the surf looks good. Send me a message if you are still thinking about going.

I am definitely interested in going! Hopefully we can get a few more people to come out and the weather holds up.

I am available on Saturday and the swells look a little better than Friday. If anyone else is available, let me know.

Even though we didn't get to fish, I was still grateful for the willingness of Yakety_Yak and LOOKN4REDS to let a newbie tag along. They gave me a lot of good tips on my set up and even hooked me up with some sweet shark leaders. I’m continuously impressed by the amount of knowledge on this sight an...

Yes sir, I live in Pearland and work Downtown.

Yes sir,I live in Pearland but also work downtown.

I wanted to start off saying that for a newbie, this sight is extremely helpful and I wanted to thank all of it's contributors for their generous donations of knowledge. I am hoping to make the Bob Hall event my first BTB trip and I wanted to reach out and ask if anyone would be willing to sell me s...
