Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Well, it's official...In a few hours I will be on the road for Corpus...yak and gear loaded with the rest of it. It has been a fun 2 years since I was first introduced to this sport. I know, I know, I got a really late start, but I am making up for lost time.
I am really excited about what lies ahead in that beautiful water down south, but would be lying if I said I won't miss the muddy marshes that my kayak and I have come to call home. Many friends have been made along the way, and some epic fishing trips as a result. I owe quite a few of you a raincheck, for plans that fell through for one reason or another...don't worry, I will be back to visit.
OK....so, I didn't get into video until recently...but here is a highlight clip of the past year or so...I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it...
Thanks Houston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice Vid man, good luck in Corpus.
Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Hey Travis good luck on the move. I know your going to love fishing down there. Our last couple trips together didn't last very long lol. I'll drop you a line when I'm heading your way. Cya on the water
Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Thanks for that video MT. Awsome.
We spent 16 years in corpus and I fished a lot of the water in the area. Perhaps you might consider picking up a fly rod cause the water really is much clearer just south of Corpus, and the sight fishing is pretty exciting.

Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Good luck Travis, you are a class gentleman first and a pretty decent fisherman too . It was easy to fish with you because of this amd you will always be a friend and not just another guy to fish with.
I'll be back south soon and will give you a holler .
Happy Fishin'

Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
MT - You're a great contributor to the board and look forward to hearing more from you when you get to Corpus. I'm taking the rain check on the fishing adventure. Whenever you get a craving for dirty brown marsh water, you'll know where to find us!

Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Those clear water tailing reds and toxin-free trout are in trouble. Enjoy the new territory!

Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Well that was a great video! I didnt expect to watch the whole thing but I did, well done. How come you waited 6 minutes to show us a video of you actually landing a fish???
Have fun in Corpus...dont forget your Houston friends when you are down there fishing that gin clear grassy water.

Nice video Travis. I only met you once, but we still had a good time at the lures tourney. Good luck in Corpus, I'm betting you're gonna love it down there, pretty sure you won't miss our chocolate mud water.

Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Travis, good luck fishing in those clear waters down Corpus-way. I much enjoyed fishing with you & also your informative commentary on TKF. Please stay in touch! I go to Corpus in the Spring & Fall to fish the legendary Baja Laguna Fish Camp on Mustang Island (with long lighted pier, gourmet food, & accommodations for at least 6 people)). Maybe you could join our happy group some time... Plus, I give free legal advice to kayak-nuts! Tight lines,

Awesome video man! It's going to be a new experience catching all those fish that you can see sitting in the water, but I'm sure you'll manage just fine. Enjoy buddy and let me know when you come back for a visit.

Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Very nice, I really enjoyed that video. I have to get to the coast
Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Good Luck Travis..the one thing you will enjoy in Corpus is the endless launch spots and awesome topwater bites
Re: Farewell Houston...It was awesome!
Travis....Good Luck! Pretty sad that we lived just a block away and never hit the salt together. Let me know once you get settled and i am planning a trip this summer. Maybe you could tag along and pass along some tips!
