May has arrived and if I have said it once I've said it 100 times - if you are going fishing
this summer better book your trip now as popular dates are filling-up
fast! Book the date/dates you want to fish and allow me the
pleasure of taking you!
When school is out - really hold on to your
hat. The fever to get to the water should get crazy and especially for
weekends. Again, please BOOK YOUR TRIPS NOW, so you and your family are
not disappointed. I am also getting calls for week-day wade trips.
HALLELUIAH!!! In my opinion wading is one of the best, most productive
ways to catch limits of fish. It is not guaranteed, but your chances
drastically increase.
I have mentioned it past reports that last
summer we were inundated with rain. In other words not much fishing. I
do not know about you, but fishing in a pouring rain storm with
lightning all around is not my cup of tea. In other words
SAFETY IS
ALWAYS PRIORITY # 1. After all, they're just fish and I will not
gamble with the lives of my clients nor mine. One would be surprised on
how many calls I get from people that inform me they are never going
again to wet a hook with that particular person or that particular
friend. All because that particular individual had not "limited everyone
out" and were not going to the dock until they did. Someone is going to
have to explain to me where fish are more important than ones safety.
Well enough of that! Lets talk about what
we love to do and why we
read these reports...to
see who, what , when, and where the fish are. I received a call today
from my favorite Bait Shop asking for my reserve orders for Croakers. It
is "Croaker Time" Friends and the Trout are proving more than ready to
gobble them up. Reds are hammering fingerling mullets and shrimp. You
will occasionally catch a flounder in the mix. As I have said in the
past few reports also use live, or dead, shrimp under a Popping Cork. We
have been using Cajun Thunders with an approximate 2 foot 30#
monofilament leader, and a size 5 hook. Fish for Trout in 3-5 foot of
water and Reds in shin to knee deep water. Be ready to get spooled.
People ask me how often do I clean my Abu
Garcia Reels. The answer is every time I go fishing in the salt water I
clean them with fresh water at the end of the day. I, also, take the
5500 C3's apart, clean, lubricate, and re-line them at least once a
month... sometimes even more often, depending on the use. We use
American RodSmiths Rods on the boat with an excellent performance from
the 7 foot Red Fish Bait Casters and Open Face Series. I use the long
butt cork handles to aid in better casting distance, accuracy, and
overall power of the rod. In general they are just plain good rods.
I have often wanted to write in these
articles instead of me discussing my subjects why don't you readers
e-mail or give a call. I will try my best to answer them. Please
get you and your friends/family together, make plans for a trip to
beautiful Rockport and BOOK YOUR TRIPS NOW - WITH ME!!!
