Re: Cabins for rent? Cant help on finding a cabin to rent. But if you do, as Capt Shuler said, you may only keep 5 if you are in the LLM and you may have no more than your limit in your possesion. Even if you stay out there two days you may still only keep 5 rather...

Fish Kill I amy be a little late with this question but.....I saw some pics on another web site of some serious fish kill of very large trout in Baffin, probably 3-4 week ago.  Any sign of this type of happening in the lower mother lagoon?  Has the run off dispersed...

Monsoon -- September 30, 2010 What can I say but! Rain, rain and more rain! In the last 3 weeks we have had in excess of 15 inches of rain. We are again fishing fresh water. Luckily our fish have grown accustomed to the fresh water and continue to bite. With all the...

Re: Cabins for rent? Capt. thanks for the response.  I was in no way referring to you specifically as I know that this is a busy season for you guys.  Just wish that pt. mansfield fishermen in general would comment or inform on here about their experiences in...

Re: Cabins for rent? lesh, and fishstalkerSorry this forum is so slow in answering and posting information but with Capt. Brandon at Texas Tech getting his Doctorate and me fishing and hunting everyday just not enough time to post. I am still trying to post a fishing...

Cabins for rent? Does anyone know if any of the cabins at the south end of the land cut are for rent? I know there are some around 9 mile hole and north of there, but I would prefer to fish the LLM.

YUM Money Hounds? Anyone tried them? i just bought some, have high hopes for bass fishing but also can see uses in the salt. small size looks just like a spook jr., i think they could be great where there is a lot of floating grass. Also have plans to chunk it onto...

Toledo Bend -- August 30, 2010 Can you say fresh water!!!! All I can say is the Lower Laguna Madre looks and tastes like Toledo Bend. No time can I and all that I have spoken with, remember the LLM as fresh as it has been. With the flood way running 1 ½ months full...

Turn Your Topwater into a Walk-the-Dog Torpedo Have you ever bought a new Skitterwalk, Zara Spook jr, or She-Pup, headed to the local watering hole, tied on and cast out, and not have the lure walk just right. You know, when it's more of the plunk-plunk, rather...

Choosing a Global Positioning System (GPS) for Fishing The success of any fishing trip rests on the ability of the "skipper" to find fish. That proposition used to rely on men that could read the water and the wind and the waves or were born with appended gills hidden...

Fishing 08/07/10 I don't know,  the bite is awful slow compared to last year and the water down south smells pretty bad.  All i fish is artificial but have not been doing good.  At this point, thinking of heading north where salinity levels might be normal.  What...

King Mackerel on Fly The first strike is short. The only evidence a fish even took a look at the olive and silver popping fly is a clear-black watered boil on the calm surface. A coronal halo of glowing life skirts the peripheries of the boil, and in moments the...

Summertime Rolls -- July 6, 2009 Beside a little blow and a lot rain, the fishing has been stellar.  Pre-Alex, Dad had the folks on some monster trout with a couple over 28 and a decent snook thrown in to boot.  On top of his trout shenanigans and the other guide...

Aftermarket Jig Rigging Sight, sound and action are critical to attract fish, especially predatory fish like largemouth bass, speckled trout, and red fish. One of the most popular ways of catching these species is a soft plastic worm on a predetermined weighted jig...

U.S. Reels Anyone tried the U.S. Reels baitcaster yet? Hoping I get one in my stocking for xmas.

Re: What Happened!!! Thanks Captain.  Yeah, things are definitely slower.  I did see Capt. Brandon as I too have been following this oil spill.  Seems like we are going to be spared.  Going to try some darker colored lures to see if my luck changes.
