Spice Gills

May 16, 2009--Fished the Babes on the Bay Tournament with four neat ladies from West Texas making up a team called The Spice Gills i. e. Old Spice, Speckled Spice, Red Hot Spice and Princess Spice. The ladies were mostly new to saltwater fishing. Over all fishing was tough. Breezy conditions and most tide movement still taking place during the times of day and night we're not fishing. With almost 1000 women participating in the tournament plus the normal fishing traffic, boats were everywhere with many not seeming to understand where they were going or what they were doing. Several boats ran very close to us with no good reason. The ladies toughed it out through a lot of slow fishing. We ended up catching 7 speckled trout and one gafftop on croaker. Two of the trout were nice size at 21 and a half inches. Couldn't catch a red anywhere. The Spice Girls and their familes had my wife and I over to their Rockport location for fresh home cooked fish the evening after the fishing trip. They are already making plans for next year. I'll save my t shirt.
