The other day I decided to drive down to the bay before sunset and see if I could get a big trout to hit a topwater. Well I didn't get anything big but I got a blow up every cast!! There wasn't any tail slapping or misses, they were nailing it!! When they did miss they were back a second later. I had a blast even if they weren't big. It is nice to go out and fish for yourself sometimes, and I love a good topwater bite!! I kept a some for a few meals and let the rest go. A little after sunset it was like someone turned a switch and it was over. This also goes to show that you don't always need a boat to catch fish if your timing is right. Most of the time when I fish for myself I don't put the boat in the water. It is a lot easier to just drive down to the water and make a quick wade!! One thing to note, that nasty green hairy grass is everywhere in St Charles right now.

That's awesome! Takes me back to when I grew up in Needville about an hour from both MAtagorda and Freeport. There's something about catching fish without a boat that gives you a satisfaction like no other, and on topwater to boot! Awesome report.

yeah, it is just Sooooo much easier and simple. My wife likes to go down to the bay also when I am fishing and take our son. He is four so he loves playing in the water and exploring. She just has to keep an eye on him!!

Nice post and fish. Good job.

Great story. Great time. Memories.
