[quote name="mat" post="1242820" timestamp="1344426050"] What a haul! Are those smacks at the top of the picture? [/quote] yup. we could've caught our full limit of 45 if we'd wanted, but we got distracted by the trout.
we also had a 14 inch trout get eaten by a 5-foot bull shark about 5 feet from the boat, and he managed to hook himself. my buddy fought him for half an hour and i got some video of him up to the boat before he broke off.
[quote name="vhs" post="1238523" timestamp="1342903927"] Putting the boat in the water Sunday. I was planning on launching at the public launch on Sabine Pass. The one that you turn left at the four-way to get to. Does anyone know if the launches are clear to launch. I saw they had the Umphrey launches closed a few weeks ago because they were full of seaweed. [/quote] launched out of umphrey Thursday night and it was clear. not sure about SP. probably fine. i didn't see ANY hyacinth in sabine lake when we were there.
private piers help a lot! on a whole, the fishing hasn't been as good this year as last year, with the exception of under the birds for a few days on Sabine. i can't speak for everyone, but it's been that way for me. and i've done a LOT of fishing this year.
PNG did a good job of replacing quality with quality. considering the small amount of experienced soccer coaches in the area, that was a heck of a feat.
I'm not a rockets fan, but i'm not sure about this deal. he's a defensive liability, and he turns the ball over a lot. he's an exciting player, but it seems like defenses figured him out and turned him into a run of the mill PG after those first 2 weeks. we'll see. hopefully it works out for the rockets.
[quote name="Smoking Baby" post="1237406" timestamp="1342665518"] Gonna wet a hook offshore Sunday if anyone interested. PM me..... won't be back from Califonia till Thursday night late, but will get back to anyone interested Friday. [/quote] one of only three weekends all summer i can't go. i'm in on the next one, hopefully.
