Boat in for service but went fishing anyway Sunday
My center-console fishing boat is still in for service (had some
fiberglass/warranty issues concerning how the seats were mounted). My neighbor's kid had his 15th birthday Sunday so my son and I (also 15) took the kid and his father down to Sargent Island near Bay City Texas on the coast to celebrate it. There is a new cut carved out by that hurricane last year (Claudette?) if you turn left after the Intercoastal Waterway drawbridge. It is down about seven miles or so. At first we fished the old cut on an incoming tide to about noon (from sun-up). No luck. Then we went to the new cut and BINGO! We should have went there right from the beginning. We were fishing fresh dead (live shrimp wasn't available and when it is it is scarce and coming up from Corpus Christi) and frozen finger mullet. Our party caught two 40" plus black drum (catch & release) plus a mixed bag of Flounder, Sand Trout, Whiting, Sheephead, Croaker and one undersized Red. Plus a mess of Blue Crab. All in all it was a helluva lot of fun and the boys enjoyed it. We are already planning a camp out at this new cut along with a couple of cooler /bait jail & pump setups along with some live shrimp. This is going to be one prime intercept spot. As the cuts go from the Gulf of Mexico to the Intercoastal Waterway. I have been eating fresh fish for the last two days, lol. Just had Flounder for breakfast with a little toast. mmmmmm Picture of old cut: http://www.texmaps.com/aerials/06Mat...42895114a.html Great aerial photos of Texas fishing spots along the coast: http://www.texmaps.com/aerials/aeria...xas-coast.html |
