This “casting practice” session will be an informal get together similar to what used to be done prior to DFF’s monthly meetings. Formal casting lessons will not be offered during these sessions, but we’ll address any casting topic that the participants are interested in. This will be an opportunity to discuss and practice anything from beginning to advanced casting skills, and it will be an opportunity to visit with other club members. These sessions are open anyone that wants to participate.

Redfish in Galveston??? Who knew???

Steve Soule had one of the more interesting guide presentations I've seen at last night's DFF meeting. I've listened to a number of guides over the years and while the trips sound like a lot of fun, most of them were for locations that I'll never visit or were just too expensive for my tightwad personality.

But, this one is intriguing, after all Galveston is not that far way...

OK, Galveston does not have the really big fish sizes, you're better going to Louisiana for those, and they leave the area in the winter. But it sounds like they have good numbers of smaller to mid sized fish, and more importantly, he is sight fishing for them in very shallow (less than a foot deep) water. This trip could be a lot of fun.

If you're interested, Steve will be speaking tonight (July 7) at the Fort Worth meeting at 7:00 pm.


Road trip time????
