Thanks Capt Bruce Capt, Bruce and I borrowed Capt. Brandon's boat for a couple of days scouting and a little fishing 4/27-28. Learned somenew areas and caught my best trout to date, 29 1/4″, 8 1/4 lbs. Also fished in Feb and did very well. Great spring....

73 Is Just the Beginning — May 21, 2007 What a fun week and an eye opening one, as well.  In my investment days, I was always amazed by the mental acuity and acumen of a few of our, well let’s say, seniors.  I would sit down with a few of my clients in the 70...

Pop Gets Wake Up Call! I thought I would thwart the rumor mill before it gets started and answer the ton of emails I have already recieved. First and foremost, Pop's is officially okayed by the Cardiologist.  He recieved a little angioplasty yesterday and got two...

Re: Pop Gets Wake Up Call! Brandon, Please tell your dad that we are very relieved to hear that his heart procedure was a success and that he will be back in his element next week.  My dad says to tell him to lose some weight–we all could stand to, I know I...

The Fishery Bruce and Brandon, Bruce, you talked about the fact that TP&W keeps an eye on operations that consistently post pictures of limits, or near-limits, of fish on their websites, and that, going forward, regs for the various bay systems will be affected...

Re: Pop Gets Wake Up Call! brandon, it has been about a week or so since we heard about the old gesser's procedure.  He is probably fit to be tied if he has not been able to get out there.  How is he doing with the recovery, everything still looking good to go!?

Re: Pop Gets Wake Up Call! He is doing fine.  However, doing way more than he should be at this point.  We are trying to get him to 'take it easy', but you know him.  Met donkeys less stubborn!  He has the rest of the week off and hopefully he will take it...

Re: The Fishery Wes I have read your post a numner of ties and still swilling it around to give you a good answer.  First, let me say, I completely agree with all of you points. As a guide, and this diatribe is mine only and does not reflect any official stance from...

Do I hear Bowie? — June 4, 2007 Come on…SING ALONG…P-P-P-Pressure!  For those of you too young to remember the original beat bastardized by Vanilla Ice, David Bowie’s arguably most recognizable song found its way into my head sometime early Saturday morning as I...

The Weather Channel was Right — May 14, 2007 Lo and behold, the weather men in charge of predicting this week’s weather must have stayed awake in class.  Mother Nature, did indeed, turn off her wind machine and subsequently turned on the fish.  The mud and...

Re: Official Word on East Cut Dredging Larry, Got it all collected and stored away for you.  I think dad stole one of the aerators to liven up his croaker  ::) [color=red][b]Boy!!! you know better than to use my name in the same sentence with croaker! ...

Re: 2″ SEAS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its going start!!!!!!!!!!!! Forum Readers, I will try to keep children from playing on their keyboards and posting reports such as this.  We aim to provide a professional and adult presence at all time.  I apologize...

What? Tinnitus! No, There is Four of Us — April 30, 2007 Unfortunately, a very real and seasonal conversation we had on my boat the past week.  With the mother of all winds blowing the last few days, I fear the tinnitus is with me permanently!  Although the...

Re: Any News on Dredging? I will be giving a complete update in the next couple of days.  More in depth than you may want.  However, now with the trout issued hopefully solved, I will be lending my support to the dredging efforts.  Just making the neccassary calls now...

Re: Any News on Dredging? My opinion lately is that a majority of funding may have to be private or grant. With no Cast Guard station and little to no commercial traffic maintaining East cut is seen by some as unnecessary. Environmental impact can be argued either...

Re: Any News on Dredging? Putaway Wet and Hybrid…I have not only spoken to Mike I have also spoken to Joe Hrametz of the Corps of Engineers.  I have a lot of information and will get get it posted tonight.  Until then, keep writing letters to the 5 elected...

Official Word on East Cut Dredging Alright, here is the official word regarding the dredging of the Port Mansfield East Cut. Speaking with Joe Hrametz, USACE official in charge of our area, states we have 1.6M earmarked for dredging.  Nothing new…this has been...

Hurry Up It’s Over! — May 7, 2007 Man, Dylan had it right, Things A Gonna Change!  Transition is the name of the game hurry up before it changes.  To be successful this time of year, you have to employ every trick in your arsenal.  One second your throwing...

Re: Official Word on East Cut Dredging Thanks so much for the info. and effort. Maybe I'm being naive but it seems to me that 1.5 mil. would not be to difficult to raise. I'm certain there are people like myself all over the state who would be more than...

Re: Official Word on East Cut Dredging Wet I have incorporated as a 501 c 3 and have our first board meeting Wednesday to start the ball rolling to get the funds together!  And no, you are not being naive, 1.5M is relatively easy to raise.  I have already started the...
