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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Saturday Well, I've been fishing Bason's since Minamalist except for a weekend at PAC for the Lafayette Slottery Tournament, which was brutal for me. Anyway, I made 3 hardcore trips to Bason's and was very successful each time, catching well over a limit. I got about 6 hours of sleep which [...]
Last Saturday, fished the Forbidden Hole with some others. Caught a few fish but water and air temp never reached 50 degrees. Didn't want to whine and moan, but today was an altogether different day. What a difference a week makes. 20 degree change in water temp! Too much iced [...]
Friday - Day 1 After about 4 hours restless sleep, got on the road Friday at 4. No sausage biscuit but some good, rancid, gas station hot coffee. Talked to a couple guys at the launch and met Josh Redd for a 6AM takeoff, just like the tournament would [...]
Had a fabulous meal at Vincent's uptown Christmas Eve courtesy of my bro in law, who enjoys fresh fish, frequently. Woke up Christmas day and put on a gnarly 20# prime rib, cooked breakfast for my family, and opened gifts. Restrung 2 reels while Diane handled the shrimp remoulade. Best remoulade [...]
