Personal best Went out of Aransas saturday on a friends boat. Set a personal record and a new goal.After nearly no fishing this year I believe this made up for it. [img]http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd288/putawaywettexas/070922fishing006Large.jpg[/img]...

Re: New to Wading Rey, try using Gulp shrimptails. These puppies are as good as live shrimp. Start with “new penny” on a 1/8 oz. jighead. Just throw that thing out there and bring it in slowly but keep the line tight. Give me a ring so we can hook -up on a...

Re: New Fly Record Red Snapper-Pending Certification Good for you IGFA Legal?  Stan Nabozny had the record with me that still stands as the IGFA 12 pound tippet record.  We broke the ciurrent dolphin red=cord this weekend…but filletted it before certifying  ::)...

Cha-Cha-Cha-Changes — October 2, 2007 I am really sorry for the long delay.  To say I have been busier than a one clawed blue crab would be an understatement.  I guess the last report was about a month ago and a few thousand fish and song birds have volunteered...
