Rolled into the fabulous Galliano Inn Friday, just in time for dinner. I was bunking with Josh Redd and Ryan Allemand. Butch Ridgedell was next door. Frank Lee and Jerry Cottrell were 2 doors down. Chris and Janie Murphy were at the other end. They declined dinner as Chris had broken [...]
Didn’t get to scout Friday because of work commitments and knew it would be lot different from the spectacular results of the previous weekend because of the week long cold front and high pressure conditions. Arrived at Bridgeside around 530 Friday afternoon and made the social rounds just before the filling [...]
So July has been outstanding! I went to Chicago for the weekend of the 4th but got back home at 145AM on the 4th, washed my face, changed clothes and went fishing with decent results. The next 2 weekends I was able to fish Saturday and Sunday both weekends, laying waste [...]
It's been a little while. Yeah, I've been a little off this year, skunking in 3 tournaments in a row. Lovely. Let's just say bad game day decisions. On a brighter note, the Monsta Banana is no longer mine. It serves another master, hopefully well. I have acquired a 2021 PA [...]
Sorry it's been a while. Website issues caused me to write and loose 3 articles. Yeah. Anyways, I scouted 3 of 4 Minimalist Zone launches at least 10 times, with numerous people including Wade Barbay, Josh Redd, Austin Johnson and Michael Ethridge. We caught fish everywhere but very few trout on [...]
ThursdayGot home on schedule just after 5 and staged gear. Wife got home at 525 and backed the truck to the cart, gave me hugs and kisses, wished me good luck and took off with her sister. 20 minutes later I was getting on I10 and a few minutes later I [...]
Woke up about 45 minutes early, as usual, loaded remaining gear and rolled. Family out of town already so got fresh homemade coffee, ahhhhhhhh. Stopped at Cash Magic to find bearded lady not there but replaced by energetic brunette lady who was actually cleaning instead of holding up the counter, quite [...]
I scouted Shell Beach the weekend before. Caught reds and trout but no bass. Water was incredibly high so I figured no big deal. Watched the weather closely and after my wife saw sign up sheet on FB, asking why I wasn't on it, signed up. The MRGO is not safe [...]
FRIDAYWoke at 320 Friday and rolled south, with fresh coffee. Plan was meet Josh Redd at Catfish Lake for some scouting. We have been on good fish further south, but the weather had been horrible all week and all bets were off. I skipped the stop with the bearded lady as [...]
Saturday Spam woke me up at 244 AM, lovely. Took my time and brewed my own coffee again. Rolled south and started getting hungry. When I passed the Awful Haus in Luling, I thought about it, having so much time and all, but nay, can't be seen there. Got off one [...]
