A FISH FOR EVERY SEASON Article by Capt. Lanny Phillips USCG Licensed Fishing Guide / TPWD Certified Call: 432-349-0353 In this June Article we are going to cover several different subjects, so please take notice and hold on. I will start out by stating it's the summer months and I'm lowering my rates effective today!. The rate for one or two people will be $450.00 and $50.00 for every person after two. I will have plenty of room in the ice chest for your favorite soft drinks and snacks. I will always have extra water onboard and the tackle, rods, reels, etc. are furnished. I will supply the bait/ice and fillet/package your catch of the day for the trip home. The lowering of my rates is just one more way I can help save you some needed money and still get to fish in this soft economy!
Call for me for special summer rates! "Fish and Hit" Trips...
I will instruct your ballplayer a 1/2 day on
hitting, etc., and we will go fishing the other half of the day. Also,
you have the option to split the "Fish and Hit" into two days...1/2 day
hitting, etc. on one day, and 1/2 day fishing on the next (depending on
bookings) all for the same price as ONE full day of fishing $450.00. Now
that is a Deal!!! I, also, have excellent discounted rates at the
Lighthouse Inn for your stay here in Rockport, Texas. Now it is up to
you to contact me and lets book a "Fish and Hit" trip! Please contact me
for more information.
Where to find Trout
will be governed nine times out of ten by the early morning hours. I am
talking about when you can just see well enough to navigate across the
water safely. One of the reasons for such hours is the coolness of the
water. Trout seem to liken to cool water and low sunlight. Check your
maps, etc., for reefs, plus tides, and fish for trout on the drop offs.
Also, fish the opposite side of the tidal movement. In other words if
the tide is coming from the left to the right fish the right side first,
or if the tide is coming from the right to the left fish the left side
first. Most of the time these guys wait for the tide to bring them
breakfast they can attack easily. Moving water traveling over the reef
and down the other side brings easy meals for a quick trout. Just
yesterday a client asked what a "trout slick" was.
I Promise I'll give
you 120% of PURE FISHING ENJOYMENT! Call: 432-349-0353 CLICK FOR MY CURRENT FISHING REPORT!

Since
I use to play for the Boston Red Sox and the Milwaukee Brewers I have
had several requests to do
economic times, but
we are stuck with it and it's time to get up, get out, and do some
living. Fishing and dreaming of that big Trout, or Red, "zinging" out
your line is not a bad way to start.
Fishing is an aspirin for
a bad day!
What better way to relieve the stress than
to let Mother Nature give you a true therapy lesson. For me it is the
outdoors and hunting fish. I hope after you have read this Article the
almost uncontrollable urge to be here with us will consume you. Sounds
like a story book opening doesn't it ? I believe most of you Readers
will agree with me that this is a great way to live the "Good Life', so
do it !!! 
best choice for Reds.
Obviously, if we are using Sara Spooks, Bass Assassins, Gulps, etc., we
would not have to consider the live bait issues. Shrimp on the other
hand is an excellent bait to use for non-stop action. The problem is the
"action" might be trash fish devouring your bait before it gets to the
game fish. In this case, for Reds, use a one ounce barrel weight above a
barrel swivel tied to an 18 inch- 20 pound mono leader, and on the end a
snelled tied #5.0 hook. Where to find Redfish
will be in water two foot deep, or less, in pot holes. Ninety five
percent of the time the hundreds and hundreds of Reds we have caught are
from 10am to 2pm. Yes, we have caught them before and after these times,
but this window seems to be the most productive. 
A
"trout slick" is an area of water that looks like you poured from a cup
to a quart of oil onto the surface. The trout have caused this slick to
form and you need to fish upwind from it. Fish the Croaker by letting it
sink to the bottom and then jerk it upwards. The strike will usually
happen once the bait begins to sink again. The later you go into the
summer fish deeper water. The "Why" is because the water is hotter and
the fish are searching for their optimum temp.
