Yes sir Troy King, we had a BLAST catching those Trout with you and your son.
It pays dividends to be fishin' at 1st light. ;-)

Kayak Angler BenC posted this pic of trout biting today despite the cold temps and winds.
Looks like they were hitting pink since he was catching them on the 1/4 oz. Pink/WildEye TEXAS RATTLER rigged with a Stinky Pinky Homewrecker soft plastic.

The 'Wind Witch' has been on a roller coaster this spring bringing in some atypical cold temperatures for this time of year in south Texas.
The result - from what I have seen the last week wade fishing from the Laguna Madre to the reefs around the Rockport bays - is that the Trout action has been scattered but some nice size to them when caught.
While Redfish and Drum action has been great on these windy days for guides and recreational anglers alike - bait or lures, the Trout Anglers have been doing well for anglers looking for some nice size to their Trout.
With few throw backs from undersized Trout that will come soon enough with warmer water temps, the action may not be what I call "steady action", but it has been rewarding with quality sized trout making the stringers.
Bright colored Pink or Chartreuse TEXAS RATTLER jigs have worked well with dark color soft plastics like the 5" Plum/Chartreuse SW Bass Assassins or the 4" Chickenboy Pearl 'Whippin Chicken'.

BIG SNOOK caught on TEXAS RATTLER jigs made in Rockport, Tx. is what is making the news this week.
BIG SNOOK like to eat the TEXAS RATTLER jigs - that's for sure !!!
Some cool pics sent in from Jason Trexler from Port Charlotte, Florida and AJ Johnson from Cureo, Texas of some quality sized Snook up to 31+" they caught using the TEXAS RATTLER jigs last week.
Jason took several pics to show the size of his Big Snook, and AJ caught his Big Snook with his Dad, who took the pic.
Congrats to both these young men having Fun and making some serious memories that will last them a lifetime.

Busy with work, but I had to get a little time "in" the water for an hour or so, ... took one of our employees with me as we both took our "break" together.
The reward was a quality trout that a TEXAS RATTLER jig called up.

The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

Some nice trout and red action using the TEXAS RATTLER jigs were caught yesterday Ivan Flecha from San Antonio and Capt. Foster from Rockport.
Capt. Foster caught this fat trout wade fishing using the Texas Rattler Fish-Max hook
Ivan caught his reds at the Kayak Meet & Greet in Aransas Pass using Glow 1/8 oz. Texas Rattler with a glow firetail SW Bass Assassin.
Both of these anglers entered their pic in the TEXAS RATTLER Fish Pic of the Month

Morning or night - its been a good bite this spring.
The TEXAS RATTLER 1/8 oz. Pink Gold/Eye jig using some Chicken boy soft plastics came through for some steady action.

1st Trout of the day.
Actually that was the 1st keeper trout of the day .. threw back 5 or 6 trout before landing this fat one that stretched 22.5".
Launched at 7 am and headed back to the dock at 8:50 am to go to work in the TEXAS RATTLER shop.
I wanted to show an area to Team REEL KEEPERS that we scouted for the Babes on Babe Tourney this weekend that they are fishing in.
Trout almost every cast when we pulled 1st drift, the biggest being 22.5" .. worked the shoreline a bit for reds and flounder - nada, not even a rat red.
Wind picked up and muddier water than when we got there moved in on 2nd drift and time was up soon thereafter for this scouting mission - but the knowledge was transferred and that was our goal.
Well, .. that and catching some trout for my Mom on her visit from Temple, ... I promised her some of my stuffed trout tonight and a man's gotta keep his promise !!!
