Well I finally have the computer and the camera setup so I can start
updating the web site again. I left the dock Sat Morning with capt. Aaron
and headed to cummins cut. We fished from there to the Klondikes without
a bite. We decided to run over in front of the Carbon Black Plant and just
as we dropped anchor the front hit. We pulled anchor right back up and
headed back to Port Aransas where the boat was docked. On the way we stopped
off in a channel over by port A and caught Redfish until we were tired
of fighting fish. It was a great ending. photo. |

I left the dock with Cal and John and headed over by port A where we
had caught all the fish the day before. Not a bite so we went back to our
favorite spot in Estes and picked up a nice stringer of Redfish, the smallest
was 23".photo |

Well today is Luketta's Birthday so I took the weekend off from fishing.
John went out with Rex from Discount Auto and had a tough day. John got
a 27" red out by the Carbon Black plant and a couple of rats in the stilt
house cut. Hope to be back next weekend |

My buddy Tito came down so we couldn't pass up a chance to go out to
Estes and try our luck. We borrowed John's boat and we're the first to
dock at cove harbor Sat morn. We got lots of mullet in the harbor and headed
to the flats. We broke off two fish and missed quite a few others, the
bite was real soft. Then the wind began to pick up so we came in early.

John and I left the dock about 6:10am , picked up some mullet in the
channel and met Cal and company just past Palm Harbor. We stopped off by
the island around the Carbon Black and got nothing, then moved to shallow
water close to the Klondikes and picked up up 4 nice Reds, went in early
to look at my new boat I am hoping to be getting soon. photo |

Fished all day and caught nothing. |

John and I snuck out and fished in the afternoon, picked up one nice
26" Redfish in the Klondikes but nothing else a afternoon. |

Left the dock at 6:15 or so with Cal. Picked up some mullet and went
to the Carbon Black area. Picked up one 26" Redfish. Tried many spots around
the Carbon Black and Stilt House cut but couldn't find anything else. Was
real cold and windy. photo |

Fished all over with bait and caught nothing mainly test running my
boat. Still windy |
| March 31, 2002 |
Test ran the boat again and it is starting to miss again so I came
in early make a couple of drifts throwing plastics and got nothing but
a couple of 12" trout. |

John and I fished late today but after taking forever to get bait we
finally made our way to the island across from carbon plant and picked
up some nice trout on cut mullet. We then headed back to Estes and fished
the potholes and picked up a nice Redfish then went home. Wind is a mess... |

Capt. Aaron, John and I
took off to Mud Island and fished everywhere on the back side. The wind
was howling and the bay looked like foamy chocolate milk. We did hook up
a huge Stingray but it quickly snapped the line. photo |

Left the dock early with
Capt. Kyle Lafreniere and an assortment of bait and headed out towards
South Bay. After a stop or two we hit his honey hole at just the right
time and started boating fish. Today it mattered not what bait you had,
everything was going down. It was a great trip and Kyle offered to cook
so we definitely brought home some fish. photo |

Kyle and I left the dock early again this time in search of Trout.
We scouted for awhile then headed to another of his Secret Spots and picked
up a mess of trout on croakers. Photo |
| May 25, 2002 |
I left the dock at 6:00am with Dad. We picked up some croakers and
went out to the wells in Aransas bay and caught some nice trout. We then
headed back into the flats for some redfish. We caught some small reds
around the Klondikes, but no keepers. After several stops we hit the potholes
in Estes and finally got a couple to bite on cut mullet.. photo |

John and I left the dock by 6:00am and headed to what we call mullet
island to pick up some bait. We tried many spots from Estes to South Bay,
behind Hog Island and back to Estes. I hooked into a nice sized Cow Nosed
Ray and had a hella of a good fight. We got 5 nice trout while we
were fishing for Reds with cut mullet. Finally we got a nice 25" Redfish
and called it a day. photo |

Melanie and I left the dock around 5:45 am and headed out to get some
mullet. the wind was gailing so the mullet getting was tough. finally we
got enough bait to try a few spots but not much action. We picked the trout
up around cummins cut and then after a couple of spots from
buns to the klondikes we met up with John and his son, and stopped
in some sand potholes around palm harbor and picked up a couple of nice
reds before we ran out of bait and the rope came loose, we figured that
was a sign to go in. Even windy, it is still better than a good
day at work. photo |

Well we snuck off on another offshore fun trip with Capt.
Aaron Chambers . John, Kyle and I along with a deckhand named Peter
headed out to some of Aaron's spots and fished for snapper then we tied
up to a rig and caught some more snapper, a jack fish on light tackle,
and hooked up a huge shark who after a fight pulled into the rig and broke
off. The water was under 3 ft and blue, I just love the water out there.
We also some a big hammerhead and a 3 ft long turtle.photo |

I picked up my neice Lindsey at 6:00am and we headed to the dock. After
a getting our mullet we headed over to the area around bird island and
we picked up 1 nice redfish and broke off one. Lindsey then wanted to try
to catch some trout so we went out to the wells and but all of then had
a boat on them but the smallest one at the very end of our run so we anchored
up at it so we wouldnt bother the others. After a few minutes we started
getting bytes and caught a couple when another boat runs up the little
well and drops anchor withing casting distance, we didnt get any more bytes
after that so we left and went back to the flats around palm harbor but
still nothing. Our last stop was the klondikes and there we picked up two
more nice reds and headed back to let lindsey swim before I took her home.

Well it's been a while since I have had a day worth writing about.
My boats broke and the fish havent been cooperating when I get to borrow
one or go with someone else. Today, Melanie, John and I left the dock in
the fog and headed for our favorite hot spot over by hog island. We threw
cut mullet and picked up some real nice Reds. photo |
