Interested but doesn't say much.

Then can't resist and takes the bait.

Puts up a hell of a fight ....

..... but always loses.

LMAO .....and a shiny crippled herring with a yellow buck hair tail and stinger hook with a finger mullet.

Take Snapper Slapers lures, mullets, and some steel leaders.
Your son will enjoy that.

Went on a 12 hour with them at the end of June and had a great trip. These are good trips to take the kids on to get them hooked on fishing as it's non-stop action once you get there and they are guaranteed to catch some nice fish.

My best trip this year was a couple days in May fishing for trout and reds out of Venice LA. Full limits both days.

You guys want to get into some awsome Wahoo action, get one of the charter captains out of Galveston this winter that go to the flower gardens. They really stack up out there that time of year, and there is no limit on them. While you out there is also some good blackfin tuna fishing at some of the rigs out that way also.

Venice, La is a great place to fish. You get into some deep water quick from there.

I like to go and put in at the Kemah Bridge and go catch some croakers at oyster reef and put them in the live well and go to some honey holes and free line for some bull reds and trout.

I have heard that also about the Flower Gardens but I have not been there yet.
We have done good trolling at the 15 mile weed line for dorado and wahoo.

I have caught some Ling Cobia around buoys free-lining live gaff-top catfish with my spinning combo. Just cut off the top dorsal fin with some tin snips.
Throw in some chum and turn on the bilge pump and they will come to the top if they are there. Ling Cobia, Mahi-Mahi and Wahoo.

Something else that is just kicking in, the silver mullet run on beach front. Redfish are right on their ass, slots and bull reds. Grab your cast net, catch a few dozen, park your ass on the beach and cast up close in the second gut. Shit you don't even have to get wet, had many truly awsome days and nights catching reds, and throw some solid trout in the mix.

I had mahi/dorado/dolphin for lunch today.

Yummy

Hell Yea Seedy You don't have to go to Spain for the running of the Bulls.
September thru October is great for Bull reds in close to shore and jetty's.
I am going to buy the Shimano SRG20000 Saragosa SW and I have a 2 piece ugly stick spin cast surf rod. I like night fishing at the beach. Cooler, more relaxing, less people and no sun burn!

I recommend Williams Party Boats and Galveston Party Boats has 4 hour Bay and Jetty fishing trips. They supply bait, tackle, rod and reels for 45.00 per person. They are both in Galveston on Pier 19 by the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig Museum.

Aw Yummy I couldn't eat Flipper but I could Eat A Yummy pink snapper.

If a person doesn't have equipment and experience...The 4 hour trips are great.
They will put you on some fish. The boats are smooth riding catamarans, air conditioned seating ares inside with tables and bench's, restrooms and a galley,
Not bad for 45.00 per per person and they supply bait and all tackle. All you need to bring is a fishing license.

Yep, I prefer just using my trout rods with either curado, or Calcutta 400's, finger mullet, put them in the sand spikes and kick back and relax. Or if the big fish are thick, break out the 10 ' Harrington's and 344 Newell's, and get after it.

Yea Seedy that is all top line gear.
I have 2 Shimano Calcutta reels and an AVET SXJ 5.3 Reel on All Star Popping rods.

The Calcutta are old but have been good but I really like the AVET and it is made in the U.S.A.

3-4 day Chandeleur Island trips are the best.
Sleep, drink beer and fish, eat lunch, nap cuz it's too damn hot to fish, fish and drink beer, eat dinner, drink whiskey and tell lies, sleep...repeat
