May 22, 23 and 24, 2009-Friday, Saturday and Sunday I had a 10 person, 3 boat trip with the same group from Houston each day. This was their second annual Mancation in Rockport. They stay in the historic Mathis house and we fish the Rockport/Aransas Pass area. The weather was nice and made fishing relatively easy. Each year we have two boats that wade fish and one that is for people wanting to fish out of the boat. We caught boxes of trout each day but only about half as many as last year. The Memorial day boat traffic was heavy. You had to get a spot early and when you wanted to move it was hard to find another spot. Redfish were scarce. The group had a $100 prize for each of the biggest trout, redfish and flounder each day. The money was rolled over to the next day if not claimed. The 3rd day we finally caught 2 redfish and one angler got to claim the $300 redfish pot. Good news on flounder - we did catch several flounder on the Saturday with most being undersized but one was big enough to claim the $200 flounder pot. The group is already making plans for next year and plans are to avoid the holiday weekend.
