LADIES CATCH FISH

11-13-2010--The clients today were two great ladies who really enjoy fishing. I enjoyed the fact that one of them would get extremely excited when a good fish was hooked. They caught an easy limit of reds with one being a personal best. We spent the rest of the day fishing for drum and in the process caught and released several more reds. Trout were a different story but then I didn't expect to catch trout in the middle of a new norther.

WINDY DAY FISHING

11-12-2010--We left from Kontiki Beach Resorts this morning and punched our way through the strong headwinds to the San Jose shoreline. I took bait for trout, reds and black drum to ensure success. I had to get shrimp at one place and croaker and perch at another. We fished northern Aransas Bay and limited my two clients on Black drum and reds in additon to catching 12 nice trout. When they decided to call it a day we were catching trout with regularity. This fall fishing is turning out to be the best fishing we've had in years. I expect our coming winter fishing to be fantastic.

A WIFE'S ACCOUNT

Today's fishing report is being written by me, Ron's wife. Today Ron took me fishing. I'm a fair weather fisherman, and today was a beautiful day - sunny and in the mid 70's. Ron has been doing a lot of hunting and was scouting for fish to prepare for customers. He'd gone to San Antonio Bay yesterday and limited on trout and was going to try different areas of San Antonio Bay again today. The first placed we stopped was teeming with trout. The trout would hit as soon as my shrimp hit the water. The only problem was, they were a half inch to an inch under the legal limit. Tried a couple of more places with little luck. Then Ron decided to try for Reds and Black Drum. I caught my limit of large keeper drum and then kept on catching and releasing. Then the redfish started hitting. Caught a couple of keepers and then the big one hit and I caught my first oversized red. Quite exciting! He really made the reel sing until I finally tired him out enough to bring him in.
