reevesr1 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 All this talk of Cuba, Belize, etc. gave me the itch to hunt some trout and reds back home. So I'm off to Texas on June 6 for a week or so to try to scratch that itch. Hopefully I'll get lucky and catch a few days when the surf is right. Otherwise, I'll just blind cast around some reefs I know. I'm really going to try to stick with the fly rod, but know I may have issues not falling back on old tried and true methods. Whatever the case, I'll take lots of pictures. June is a great time to fish down there!! I need me some clousers! Quote
Brownstone Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 your going to hunt trout redds? :lol: have a good trip..give a red a big sloppy kiss for me Quote
ladystrange Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 pls take the crappy weather with you and exchange it for +25. or 80F whichever... i'll cover the duty on the import. or do the nafta rules apply... have fun, take lots of pics. Quote
monger Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Reds, trouts and the yellow rod. Sounds like there will be some battles. Have faith in the long rod, the prize will be sweeter! Quote
flyangler Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Skip over the parts with tornadoes and travel safely. It's been a bad season in the midwest and midsouth. Quote
JMasson Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Damn Rick, wish I could go. Land a couple Reds for me! James Quote
Taco Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Cool, can I come?..... Actually I'd like to go right now, the bream are on the beds and the fishin' in the tanks is on. Quote
reevesr1 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Posted May 14, 2008 No prob on the Shiner. Wouldn't be home without it. No tornadoes would be preferred. Taco, it would be worth it to see the looks of confusion when I introduced the big tall country boy as "Taco"! Quote
Taco Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 It do baffle'm a tad, I even get that "wtf? you ain't no hispanic" look from the hispanics. Quote
Dank Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Hey Rick, Hope you nailed them down there. I forgot to give you the report from Lafitte last month, we nailed the reds and specs all day on the poppin' corks and plastic cochahoes. Lost a big red (for the bayou) playing him out, no fun after 10 minutes on the line but it was a damn good excuse for an Abita! Hope you wore sunscreen, three weeks later and I'm still peeling!

Dan Hey Dan, Not going until next month. I've learned my lesson on the sunscreen many times over. Did you try the fly rod on the reds or specs? Quote
Dank Posted May 19, 2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Nope, too windy and too many people on the boat. We had planned to throw a few gummy minnows and spoon flys but in the 11th hour we had three additionals invite themselves on the boat with us. Didn't see any fish tailing so it might have been a waste anyway. Quote
