four men trip wanted to learn the bays from not hitting any sand bars, we did pretty good most of the day & they were seeing more sites of bays they had never been in, we even decided to go up a ditch to see if the alligator was out, oh my goodness did I get pie on my face we ended on dry ground all the way back to engine. thank heavens I had some big good old boys on board, we had to pick up that shallow sport inch by inch to get back to water, and we laughed all the way home, we still managed to take home 24 trout 17-24", we went out next day & had record break size caught, that is always a bonus for me.

got in to some very nice trout early morning, felt like it was going to be a great day. called a friend up and ask if he was doing any good. said he had a 17" trout in the box and had cought a few under sized reds. told him we had 4 nice ones and suggested that he join us. within the hour he was anchored next to us. we put a couple more trout in the box that was in the 24" range. I look over at my buddy and his rod looked like it was about to break. he was real sly about what was going on or he was in shock. it took 10 minutes to land against a strong current but ended up to be a 29.5" trout. It's in the taxadermy as we speak. great job my friend, great job!

shallow sport tournament south padre island, caught a lot of fish but no trophy this year. Melinda lost a heart breaking nice red. Got her in the grass and hung chow.Putted up to the fish, got within 4 feet of the huge, possible 27 to 28" slot red. Before we could get the net down to her she slow motionly swam away. As long as she fought that fish she should have gotten the HARD LUCK AWARD. We'll try again next year. I did manage to win a door prize though. A nice rod holder from Tops and Towers. I will say Shallow Sport folks know how to throw a awsome tournament.

yesterday, my wife & I went afternoon fishing, got into some rat reds, Melinda pulled out a 23" red, we both got a 20 3/4" red, had fun with the catch & release. then decided to move & see what we could find, I lost something nice, casted abck to same place & hooked something that just about spooled me & requested Melinda to crank up the motor & follow the fish, for about 30 min we putted all over the bay, got a couple of boats attention, broke the net trying to land this fish, finally got it in the boat & could not believe our eyes, by our estimate it was a 20-25 lbs. Jack Cravelle in 3 ft deep water, that has to be a record on 12# test line, what a fight. one of the boats that was watching came over & took pictures. we decided we wanted to show our friends that was out fishing, so we put this Jack in our live well, you should have seen the shrimp jumping out of the box. got over to our friends & took more pictures & then released back into the bay a live & health Jack fish, man what a day fishing.
