re: Fishing on a full moon

Posted by DuckSausage on 4/24/24 at 7:55 am
In my experience, leading up to a full moon can be really good and lead to bigger fish, during a full moon you can get on mid day bite, after a full moon sucks. Idk why but i've got my butt kicked twice this spring before and after a new moon....
Bank fishing will be tough to find access but you may be able to find a road to walk/wade into south shoreline of West Bay. Usually June-August we'll have a few windows of light north winds that lay down the surf and trout fishing can get pretty good on the beach....

re: Texas mid coast fishing report

Posted by DuckSausage on 4/15/24 at 8:48 am
Im glad TPWD changed the limits. I don't think its going to help on the upper coast, but it isnt going to hurt. Increased pressure is one aspect of the decline, but like mentioned before, theres too many ecological/habitat issues that is the main culprit of why fishing has declined up and down the ...
Swing easy. When I have issues with woods/hybrids im usually trying to kill it. Then it always surprises me how how far itll go when you just make good contact....

I mostly fish Big Lake and wade majority of the time. Maybe 5+ years ago I feel like I could go out and it wasnt a problem to scratch out a handful of trout wading before I really had an idea what I was doing. Now that I've put a good amount of time on the water and feel like I know what Im doing, I...

3 @ 15-20", One of three could be over 30". I have nothing to report other than I've struggled big time this spring so far as well. Kemo why do you think that is? Doesn't matter what the size is youre always going to catch a pile that are just under. You could raise the size to 15" and you'...
Not sure on the style but something with a high seat or stable enough where you can stand comfortably so you’re higher up off the water...
This wasn't at Beard Vet Clinic in Navasota was it? Have a good friend thats a vet there and its a small town ...
Not sure if hes booked up or not but check out 4K Ranch in Brady, TX. Good friend of mine heads the guiding operation. Its not a full guided trip but you get dropped off and picked up each hunt. Plenty of birds. They have a lodge and 4-5 separate bunk houses. I referred someone here a few years b...
[quote]How is it dead? The places with adequate are producing just as many trout as they have in recent years.[/quote] I admittedly haven’t fished the SE part of the state much and know it’s on another level of vast estuary compared to the west side of the state and TX coast, but you don’t think...
I fish both states pretty often. It’s a different mindset in TX with bigger fish overall. My mindset has shifted over the past few years. I used to laugh at their 5 fish limit but ya know they don’t make you put your rod up and head back to the launch after you box your 3 fish. You can continue to f...

I remember being near the front row for one of the varsity shows and his eyes were stuck wide open and lit up like a Christmas tree. Great show. ...
Saturday near Holly Beach was about as slow as it gets. We have water but no feed to speak of. Low enough numbers we could count the birds we saw. Sunday hunted in Johnson Bayou and did well. Mostly Teal....
Unfortunate timing. I filled up my dogs food container yesterday and threw away the bag of Hi Pro Plus at the camp shes been eating the last month or 2. Haven't seen any ill effects so will probably keep on feeding. Went to the store that carrys it yesterday to pick up another bag and they were ...

[quote]Don’t go Yeti. The damn zipper is too hard to open & close.[/quote] While I'll agree with this. I had the original yeti softside for close to 10 years that the zipper finally started to come apart and got off track where I couldnt zip it closed. I made a warranty claim and got to pick out ...

re: Retay Shotguns?

Posted by DuckSausage on 8/24/23 at 11:34 am
I would go with the Affinity or Benelli Montefeltro. I have both and they are great guns for the price point. Montefeltro is definitely lighter/smoother a little more refined but cant go wrong with either. ...

[quote]Johnson Bayou and Holly Beach[/quote] Any land locked pond is bone dry. Don't remember seeing it like this and have been hunting the area for close to 20 years. Our marsh just north of Holly Beach is tidal influenced and its low like after a north wind. I think a lot of it has to do with t...

Green wings are pretty hardy but I think alot of the BWT we shoot in late December and January are coming back north. We always seem to get a little push the last few weeks of the season....

I like the Garmin Sport Pro for my lab. Has a beep and vibrate button and a bright bulb on the collar that can be useful at night or early mornings. Dont think you can go wrong with Garmin or Dogtra...
