took some cool poling platform Go pro footage recently.. and a flounder gigging trip. Was my first time flounder gigging .. was also first time shooting the big camera at night... haven't captured the footage yet, but what was in the view finder looked good... but will only know after the capture.

Took some sick footage of a majek xtreme yesterday.. will post some screenpics tomorrow... captured some really great redfishing footage as well with Team Baad Marine's new prototype .. can't say what yet... but that's coming soon.

I guess I need to learn how to post my pics.. LOL.. actually I know how.. just too far behind with other stuff. I caught a nice bass this morning on Baad marine's new prototype as well. check out baadmarinesupply.com

Here's a testimonial that I received last night from David Babineux-

"Tobin,
I received your dvd. I think it will be very helpful on my next trip. I see a lot of the errors I was making. Anyway I liked the DVD and can't wait to get out on the water again.

Just placed an order for catching limits DVD #2. Really looking forward to checking it out.

Trout action continues to be steady in the good to excellent range - both in the surf and the back bays reefs.

It's good time of year to go fishing !!!

What are you guys doing when there isnt any active bait or birds around and most areas are indeed 'dead water'? Just fish the reefs? And if so, artificial or live bait ?

Also, what hours of the day are typically not productive at all?

I usually drift reefs with live bait or ancor off at one of my favorit holes.

Shrimp & popping cork ?

you can use either. as long as you are fishing structure you at least increase your chances. This late fall time can be the toughest if there is much of a shrimp crop.. shrimp don't have much oil in them at all so the slicks the fish make this time of year are really weak and easily blown apart.

on your second question as to the hours... there aren't any hours that are typically unproductive... it can happen at any time any day. As the tide shifts through the whole bay there is a time delay... ie... if the bay is full at high tide.. the tide will start going out at the jetty first... then mid bay about an hour later... then upper bay an hour later than that.. the river channel may be as much as 3-4 hour delay... Also, look at solunar tables and maximize your times around the major and minor feed times.. it's not perfect, but it's a tool and it hold pretty close most of the time.. maximize your time fishing the major minor and fishing when the current starts or stops at an area. hope that helps.

Cork or carilina rig. Live shrimp, perch, shad, or mud minnows. What ever I catch in my cast net.

Yep they are all good. did you know that trout also eat little baby crabs too.. but if you have one of the others it's a better percentage choice.

Here's another testimonial from G Segovia-

"I bougt the catch a limit video from troutsupport and it has really good info, my boy is 8 year old and he watched the entire video and ready to go fishing. Ill be going out to t he bay next weekend. Will see how it goes. When is another video coming out; It would be nice to see one on redfish."

Tobin's DVD is one of the best educational videos on the market ...
The Mid-Coast Guides Association Highly Recommends and Endorses This Video.....
Thanks To All That Made This Video Number 1 on the Texas Market
