[quote name="643" post="811833" timestamp="1276345518"] Heres a link to the tide chart I use, there is a reporting station close to the Pleasure Is bridge its listed as Port Author neches channel I think, there are several in and around Sabine lake, if you run the GPS#s at the top of the the page it on Google E it will show the exact loca of each station. I'm gonna wait for wind to lay some before I take my 7y/o grandson, but the wind could blow the skeeters away tho... the link >> [Hidden Content] [/quote] That one showed the low at almost 10:00PM so that was in the same ballpark, accounting for being farther upstream.

[quote name="643" post="811506" timestamp="1276252339"] Looking at the tide chart, you guys have been fishing a high tide with not much water movement, am I correct. Thinking of going out tonite, you failed to mention what type of bait, lure or brand of dynomite, inquiring minds are wanting to know.... [/quote] I showed the low tide at Mesquite point at about 8:30PM. I figured we were about 2.5 hours behind which was about right. The tide in the ship channel was moving pretty good until about 11:30PM when it slowed a good bit. It became almost slack tide about Midnight. The guy I was with was catching his on artificial (since that is all that he uses) and I split my time with plastics and live bait. There was plenty of shad in the water and I was using them with good success under a cork maybe 12" down. He almost always uses glow with chartreuse tail Cocahoe Minnows. I used various soft plastics but mostly the Cocahoe or Trout Killers. I also caught a couple on chartreuse glitter but the glow seem to work more consistently. We didn't catch any fish (or even see any) until the tide started to slow and then they turned on when it went slack. I went home after about an hour with my limit but they were still hitting. We probably tossed about 20 or more that were undersized.

This is tonight's catch. They were not as big as the ones from last week. I have a limit of them from 15.5" to 17". It was still fun though and these will be tasty just the same. [IMG][Hidden Content]]

;D

[quote name="643" post="809051" timestamp="1275646857"] Did you have your own lights or fish some that were there.... [/quote] Lights that are there usually but I have fished under lights that were brought. [quote author=Bucof2010 link=topic=70019.msg809060#msg809060 date=1275656118] The ship channel where? [/quote] Near downtown PA.

This was my take from early this morning (about Midnight to 1:30AM) in the ship channel under the lights. The largest two were 20". The smallest one was 16.5". I caught about 20 but most were undersized at about 14.5". The seven I kept were fairly decent size though. [IMG][Hidden Content]]

[quote name="injun" post="805763" timestamp="1274884905"] I'm not saying I don't want the wardens doing their job , but if you see that someone is trying to do right but missed something maybe contact them and give them a chance to fix the problem.. Take a look at the regs set on a crab trap in Texas, its easy to find [/quote] Easy to find and easy to comply with.... if someone takes about 5 minutes to read them.

In the ship channel at night. They are in early this year.

[quote name="coach2" post="802273" timestamp="1274018156"] What kind of info do you want? [/quote] The only info needed is if you and a partner are going to fish the tournament so we can get a count on the number of boats expected. This is a pay at the ramp tourney. We aren't taking names and address or boat info. Those that show up and pay the entry fee at the beginning of the morning can fish the tournament with the requirement that at least one person in the boat has to be a member of setxsports.com

[quote name="JoesBros" post="800143" timestamp="1273519076"] Why in katy now? [/quote] I don't know but it is about an hour closer than Bryan.

Smack talk goes both way. Unfortunately, someone has to eat crow when the talking is over and the playing is finished. Then the discussion turns to whether gumbo is a better way to serve crow than grilling. I wonder how many cajuns they have over in 19-4A? 

[quote name="BrenhamFan" post="799908" timestamp="1273450622"] No points for seeding, but it does determine who u play.  All im saying is that i've seen both teams play and Magnolia looks like the more talented team.  Single game or 3 game series, I just think Magnolia is better. [/quote] I can't argue that. I am just wondering about the rationale of basing if off of a single game a long time ago in the season and ignoring what has been done since but to each his own.

[/quote] Ya....wut they did 2 months ago is still part of their season and why both both teams are seeded where they are. [/quote] Ya.... wut GP did in the first game against PNG (not two months ago but last week) is part of the season also. What they did the next two games ended that season. I didn't know that we got points for seeding but maybe I need to study the rules some more.

I am sure that the people from 19-4A after a single game from Galena Park thinks that they are simply the better team than PNG. ..... at least up until PNG outscores them 30-5 in a double header.

Self imposed ban?

Outscoring your opponent 30-5 in a doubleheader should end any debate about pitching depth.

Wow, talk about PNG getting up off the deck after being flattened in game #1. Great wins!

[quote name="retiredoldcoach" post="794801" timestamp="1272256962"] You guys keep using the words "tie breakers".  [b][size=10pt]There are no tie breakers in 20-4A Baseball.[/size] [/b] If two teams are 11-3 then two teams are 11-3.  Even if one team beat the other twice, they are still both 11-3 and will have a coin flip, or a playoff, or a verball agreement to take a spot in the bracket.  If three teams are 11-3, then three teams are 11-3.  They will have a playoff, with one team drawing a bye in the play in bracket. (this bye part I am only 99% sure of) No head to head No most runs scored None of that stuff at all and that is the way it should be IMO [/quote] Yes but you are talking semantics. If two teams are tied at the top at 11-3, they will both be co-champions in the district. Their final district record will not change and they will both still be co-champions at 11-3. As far as UIL playoffs though, they both cannot represent the district as champion or as the #1 seeded team.  That team still needs to be determined. It can be a coin flip, it can be a single game or you can play tiddlywinks. You can call whatever you want but it is in fact a tie breaker. No matter what is done by the district committee, it still breaks the tie for first place in the UIL playoffs. Hence the de facto term "tie breaker".
