October 31, 20205 yr Playa...for four months. Unplugging from the simulation, fishing a rising tide every day. Vaya con dios.Good for you man. I’ve got 7-10 years and then I’m done and might do the same. Would take that break now but kids.

Ours are young enough to pull this off. It’ll either be exactly what our family needs or a complete shitshow. We’ll see. obviously going to get after the flats but our realtors husband is a fisherman, so I’m really looking forward to going out with him and bringing home dinner.

I really want to check out in a major way in 10 years. hang out at lake travis, colorado and travel from those points often. My gf and I are (were) traveling a lot - about once a month - when I didn't have my kids (divorce and custody sharing is a beautiful thing) but even then those trips are short US or Mexico/Central America trips and I have to work a lot on our trips. life is short, if you have the means doing outlandish shit like what you are doing is exactly what we should be doing.

Amen. We lost our next door neighbor and dear friend unexpectedly in August, she was 42 and loved to travel the globe. Life is short. We should all fish more.
November 2, 20205 yr Had an awesome day in Rockport Saturday, except for breaking my Scott Meridian. At least it was on a fish this time.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

November 3, 20205 yr Couple weeks ago my typical partner fished a tournament down there (I’m out of state) and it was when Delta (iirc) had the tides up like crazy. My big ass pad V ran thru places I haven’t dreamed about since I had my tower FlatsCat. The only way they could catch reds was pitching to them like bass, while they were cruising was is typically very dry land. Practice they ran all thru the super shallow POC areas, it was several feet high. Never once tagged bottom or even kicked up mud. At one point following reds, they realized they were several hundred feet up in an island we typically walk to reach the back lakes. Crazy. Would have been cool to feel like one of the technical skiff guys for a day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 3, 20205 yr Rippin' lips - FL hybrid bass. Mean and territorial. Hell on rattletraps and top waters.
November 3, 20205 yr LM Bass on a clip stringer. My mom would have been very happy to see a haul like that. A fillet off a 2 lb bass was her favorite fish.

Yep, fried them up as I always do in G-ma's old cast iron skillets. Kids devour them. We always try to make tacos, but they come in constantly raiding the finished pieces so it becomes a free for all!
November 4, 20205 yr Those are some solid green trout. Haven’t eaten one in years and years, but great eats.
November 4, 20205 yr Does this qualify, as we had to "fish" his ass out of the water. I can tell you, seeing him there in the water....well, it was a "WELP" moment for sure. And the water, nice and chilly. Stripped down to the skivvies, sucked in a few times, and took the polar-plunge. Jesus, it was freezing. We tried chucking rocks to "float him" over like we've done with doves/ducks. Nope. Wind? Nope Too deep for waders to be of any help. Terrified he's going to sink.

We tracked at sunrise, he made it 400yds and just cartwheeled into the water (apparently, from the tracks on the bank). But yes, they always go to water, but never seem them full in the water like this.

November 5, 20205 yr I got a little therapy time on the water this afternoon and picked up a few on the fly. I chunked a few different plastics, a swim jig and a h&h spinner too but didn’t catch anything else.

He called a tow boat, and of course the tow boat came from the other side of the reef, and pulled him across it. He was pissed and the boat was a mess.

My buddy grounded his skiff last year real early in the morning. We hopped out, picked up the bow and turned it around, then pushed it back to deeper water like a blocking sled. Gotta love a skiff.

I've only taken the boat 5-7 times in the last 15 years. Good fishing and hunting in that slough. Deep, cold water in the summer.
November 5, 20205 yr I was putting in at Goose Island with a buddy one morning when it was really foggy, like pea soup shit. This boat full of bros taking out Daddy’s bombjack Shallow Sport had put in before us and were blaring loud music and drinking already at 7am as they tore ass away from the dock. We got done loading up and caught up to them a few minutes later pretty much high centered on that oyster reef. It had to of hurt both them and the boat pretty good.
November 6, 20205 yr Been a few years since I’ve seen one crossing the bay, but oof. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 6, 20205 yr assholes. you're wading in the middle of nowhere. the only things you're trying to offend are trout and reds. and then assholes like this come up and try to start shit with you. asshole, why you getting on the boat and flexing on everyone??????
November 9, 20205 yr Popular Post Hit the water while here in Cabo. Caught about 15 dolphin and 1 Marlin. My buddy got to land the marlin but it was great just watching the fight and getting to see one up close. Then this guy decided to jump on the back of the boat coming into the marina looking for a free meal.
November 10, 20205 yr Finally getting a saltwater trip in first time since last spring. Going to hit up Oyster Lake Friday and Saturday wading/kayaking. I'm stoked.

November 10, 20205 yr His name is Pancho.Apparently so after posting up and other friends of mine that have been here saying the same thing. Damn freeloader...
November 10, 20205 yr His face in the first photo is fucking hilarious. "y u no fed me? u haz zo mahny feesh"
November 10, 20205 yr Might want to invest half an hour if you like tarpon or trout or everyone in between.
November 14, 20205 yr morning from the yucatan, boys and girls. weather has been rainy but finally got a good stretch of sun yesterday am. starting walking a beach, then got chased off by some lady that worked for a turtle non-profit...supposedly i was walking a protected area for baby turtles. 0-1.
November 18, 20205 yr Anyone fished Lake Limestone? A small group of us rented a house on the lake as a get away this weekend. I'm contemplating taking my bass boat. The other option is dock/bank fishing and leaving the boat at home. I don't want to take the boat if the fishing isn't very good.

November 18, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, crash_davis said: so how'd you do? Managed 5 keeper trout - probably could have fished harder but there was a lot of water - tides are high there now. A lot of the peninsula has disappeared over the last couple of storms and there's a new channel starting from the lake to the bay, so kinda had to relearn things. Of course when I pulled up, a couple of trumpkins had already staked out the best spot. At least they weren't obnoxious the whole time, other than the bling. It's a gorgeous place to fish, when the water is clear like it was. There are thousands, I mean hundreds of thousands of sandhill cranes that fly in and out of the marshes between here and Matagorda Island - they were deafening when they flew in at night and out again in the morning. Also at 3am when the coyotes stirred them up. You can see some in the distance in this pic. Overall had a great time - didn't get skunked, the mosquitoes weren't bad at all, and it was fantastic to get down to the coast after almost a year.
