Good to hear, I hope they are still there in June, I will be at Matagorda on the beach then. Good luck wh2004, I'll look forward to a report!

PINS has been on fire the last month. Spanish, trout. Reds, Jack's, and big sharks are all being landed right now. The weather has gotten windy so not sure how the water is looking now. If its calm you can fish the 2nd gut and throw top water Zara spooks or any other walking bait for big trout. Gold spoons and live mullet will catch ya just about anything. Fresh head on shrimp with fish bites will get ya whitting, and pomps.


Politicians, baseball players, high-powered corporate CEO's they all seem to eventually let us down. Nature, however, does not. Look to her for inspiration and you will learn the secrets to living a good life. The most Important lesson it would seem is to make sure you spend as much time fishing as anything else.

tide doesn't seem to effect the fish in the surf as much as the bay. i like to be in the water at first light, even if it's a dead tide.
