MYTHMAN IS BACK!!!
Re: Slabs Tuesday June 15th
I’m thinking about heading out there Tuesday. Haven’t been out there (or posted on this site) in 8 years, would I be able to get out there in a 2 wheel drive truck nowadays?
Great to see you still chasing the bulls, Mythman!!!

I made it just fine a few weeks ago in my ram 1500 2wd. If you do make it and get stuck I'm sure one of us will pull you out.

Re: Slabs Tuesday June 15th
Had a great day out there today despite getting stuck twice, derp! The water was supremely flat, gloriously green filled with bait. Had a bit of a late start but made to the beach a tiny bit after 8am, got stuck as soon as I pulled of the highway. Was lucky Mythman was there to pull me out.
After some quick salutations we all hit the water and spread out looking for giants under all that bait we could see just under the surface. For me the bites came fast and I couldn't keep them off my hook, and by them i mean stinking slimers! I did manage to hang one bull red with an attitude. Overall had a great day just got wore out taking gaftops off my hook. They were even slamming a trolled silver spoon.
I got off the water at about the same time as Mythman and proceeded to get loaded up. It's funny how fate puts folks where they need to be. After I finished loading up Mike realized he accidentally locked his keys in his vehicle. After some quick scavenging for a hanger or other unlocking implement, I found an old Spiderman fishing rod and a piece of wire to get in his SUV. Glad we didn't have to call a lockout service. So shortly after we parted ways or so I thought! I managed to get myself stuck AGAIN! Luckily Mythman was behind me to save the day.
Overall I was a really great day despite the fishing being over run by those stinking slimers. I'll post up for the next window I see. Till then tight lines and be the positivity you want to see out in the world!

Re: Slabs Tuesday June 15th
Sounds like a great time! glad you guys had other people out there. You're not the only one getting hammered with the Gaftops. We went out for memorial day weekend at Galveston Causeway and couldn't get the bait to the bottom without them hitting it. I don't know what's up with them this year. I even tried switching up the baits. I refuse to let them touch me. lol
Re: Slabs Tuesday June 15th
I started using a whole hard head with the head, dorsal, and pectoral find cut off as bait, and the gafftop didn’t touch it, but I did get plenty of bites from sharks. I had 7 or 8 sharks on, but all but one threw the hook. Also at one point I set down a casting rod with a spoon on it while i turned to check my other rod, and in the 2 seconds that the spoon was dangling in the water, something came along, yanked my rod out of the kayak and headed for Mexico. I’m guessing by how fast it pulled my rod in it was a shark, but I guess I’ll never know. I also manage to catch my first Spanish mackerel casting a golden spoon at a bait ball.
