Should Have Went with a Smaller Sized Grasshopper

Went with a Fly Rod today.  Fished a Size 8 Grasshopper.  Should have went with a smalled sized one.  Had a number of Bluegill hit but only two were hooked and landed.  Also tried a Dry Fly but the fish did not want it.  Better luck next time!

Only One This Round at Bethany

Went to Bethany this evening to try out the Medium Action Spinning Combo we picked up while on the coast.  It's an Ugly Stik Lite with a Penn Pursuit 4000 Reel.  Really like it fishing a Popping Cork and Live Shrimp.  Worked out well as a Senko Rod, too!  Only caught one Bass this round but did miss several others!

Fish Activity Under Green Lights!

While waiting for a table at a Seafood Restaurant just off the Intracoastal in Laguna Madre, we see fish activity under the green lights by their dock.  We see a number of fish and suspect there are a few Ladyfish, Speckle Trout, and Redfish.  Wish we had out fishing rods!

One More Go Fishing at the Beach - July 18, 2013

One more go fishing at the beach before we head back.  Lots of seaweed made it tough to fish but did manage to catch a 14" Speckle Trout.  Also, caught bait fish using the cast net and saw a Portuguese Man O' War wash up on the beach!

Another Go at Packery Channel - July 17, 2013

More rain in the area but made a break for Packery Channel again when the rain let up.  Fished with Live Shrimp and Cut Bait and caught a number of fish!  No Keepers again though!

Packery Channel This Round - July 16, 2013

Rain slowed us up a little, but saw a break and rigged up Popping Corks and baited up with Live Shrimp and fished the Packery Channel.  Caught Speckle Trout, Red Fish, and a Lady Fish.  Fun stuff... no Keepers this round though!

Live Shrimp in the Surf This Round - July 15, 2013

After fishing the Jetty Party Boat in Port Aransas Monday morning, decided to hit the surf for more fishing!  Went with Live Shrimp and Medium Spinning Gear.  Was able to catch a Jack Crevalle, a Perch (we think), and a Croaker!  A tasty wave and a cool Bud is all we needed!

Jetty Boat Fishing - July 15, 2013

Decided to take the Jetty Boat in Port Aransas and see how the fish were biting on Monday, July 15.  Things started out slow but a couple of Black Tip Shark were caught.  Moved to another spot and caught Angel Fish; others caught a Red Fish and a Red Snapper.  Made one more stop and caught another type of Snapper.  Fun stuff once the bite was on!

More Fun on the Coast - July 14, 2013

Setup for another go at fishing while at Port Aransas.  Started out catching Whiting for bait, then used the kayak to deploy baits past the third sand bar.  Hoped for Shark but ended up with a Keeper Speckle Trout that went 18" in size, a large Whiting, and a 24"+ Ladyfish!  Fun stuff!

Back to the Coast - July 13, 2013!

Made it to the Coast again.  This time went to Port Aransas. Caught some Ghost Shrimp and then a little fish!  Really nice day with a fair amount of people enjoying the beach.
