Good fishin' today - so it will be TROUT for Lunch ... and REDFISH for supper.
Caught trout, redfish, drum and flounder - the two flounder didn't make the stringer ~1/4" short each ... but the rest did, threw back about 15 - 20 small trout and several 19"+ reds. North wind didn't stop the bite today !
Even had a trout hit a Gulp! & Rockport Rattler 1/16 oz. jig combo while I was messing my line from a wind tangle and the lure was just sitting on the bottom.
GREAT day to be in the water !!! 8-)

Moments like these - fishing with your son - are "Priceless" !!!
Feet wet at 6:53 a.m., sunrise at 7:15 a.m., ... strong outgoing tide - no small high tide from 3 a.m. to 9 a.m. as predicted - trout, reds and drum were running together.

Good action on incoming tide yesterday morning.
Strung 3 fish quick.
When incoming tide quit and so did the bite.
Home cleaning fish @ 10 a.m. getting ready for the TEXAS RANGERS play-off game with some Blackened redfish and some Shrimp Fettaccini for the game time meal.

Wanted to have a Fish Fry for the Debate tonight.
Awesome orange painted on the horizon at sunrise greeted us as we slipped into the ol' SaltH2O. Strung 2 nice 20" trout by sunrise.
Headed to work the grass lines and caught a limit of nice 22 - 23" redfish, releasing several 19 - 20" reds, ...while Rex, II was stringing trout and flounder for our TEXAS SLAM !!! So my son remarks "What, no drum today Dad?" About 2 minutes later ... BAM !!! ... I nailed a nice Drum for a TEXAS GRAND SLAM today. At this point, I had a very, very sore shoulder from my shoulder being dislocated when I got out of bed a week ago Monday, (I guess stuff like that happens when you get 60 YO) so we headed in and left'em biting as waded toward the western horizon with the moon leading the way.

Redfish action continues to be excellent working the grass lines.
Trout and drum are also making the stringer.
Water temps are getting cooler so the fish are getting more aggressive, with bait also on the move.

Redfish are still on the roam.
Location #13 in the WadeFish Rockport book was the ticket for my son and his fishin' buds.
Rex, II strung some nice reds. He said they stalked down a school of redfish and strung some nice ones, then used their kayaks to chase'em around the flats and then waded to the school to get their redfish limits. The 3 anglers ended up with their 3 reds each for 3 limits of reds.
