Team C.B.F Practices C.P.R. - Catch, Photograph & Release! Most of the time. Sometimes we go out for groceries! |
So we decided why not give it a try. |
Sometimes a good sunset is all that is needed for a good trip. I fished until 4:15 am with dead mullet on the bottom to catch a small trout, 6 under sized redfish and one that went 22.5 inches. I also caught about 700 plus hardheads. O.K. maybe not that many but it was way to many for me. |
By Saturday morning Eli was the only one really catching anything. I also catch one 18" trout on my chrome/green He Dog. |
Here is Barry in his kayak taking a breather and posing for this picture after a long fish scouting trip. |
Here is Eli drifting a flat in his Yak. |
I did not have to ask twice for volunteers to go eat with me at the world famous Kings Inn restaurant just a short boat trip away. |
Ken chilling on his yak! |
Here is Joseph on his yak. He came all the way from Austin to join us. We also almost missed him. |
Barry getting up at camp early in the morning. Did these guys bring everything or what? |
Here is the gang (Eli, Joseph, Ken and Barry) ready to head back to the launch site after a hard weekend of fishing. |
After leaving the gang at the dock I decided to hit a flat that Barry and I fished on Saturday with our fly rods. I finally find several redfish big enough not to be scared of my fly. I messed up and got too excited on the first two fish I spotted. After calming down and thinking what I did wrong I encounter this 28" beauty. This fish ties my largest redfish caught on a fly rod. What a fight. I had forgotten how much fun it was to site cast a redfish in 5 inches of water. |
Here are the two redfish I landed with my 8wt. fly rod. I caught the second fish walking back to the boat. |
Now for the REPORT! The weather was sunny, hot and windy! The water was an ugly brown and there were too many boats! I spent some quality time with some good fishing buddies. To bad we did not catch that many fish. I have done better and I have done worse. I guess that's why they call it fishing not catching. I am really glad I took my fly rod. I will be using it the rest of the year. Maybe the next trip will be more productive and you might be able to join us. I thank God for this fishing opportunity!
