  • my first bayou vista resident post

    my friend julie and i hit west bay this am. not too early, too tired from moving. juie threw back a 15ish trout she snagged on a topwater. i had a little thump on my tequila gold bull minnow and set the hook. the fish swam towards me and i started to feel a little weight on the end as it got closer. i thought i had a flounder. the fish surfaced and it was a huge trout. 26 1/2 inches and 6.5 lbs on the boga!! she swallowed it all the way down and was bleeding so i had to string her. we had numerous trout and rat red throwbacks and then a school of keeper reds came thru just as julie was going back to the boat. i had one big red on then it swam into my stringer and came off. next cast i strung a 25inch red. 2-3 casts later i strung another red around 22. the bite died after that and we were back at the house and had the fish and boat cleaned by 1230. i think i'm going to like it here. tequila gold works too texxan1!! thanks for the hint.
    i have a cleaning table pic i may post later.

    ps. i heard JT (junior trout) was on the bay but didn't have quite as good of a stringer!!!

    That's because the fish have moved off "his" flat!

    Nice day on the water for sure!!! JT you might need to claim a few more spots around West Bay

                That is some awfully low blows being delivered.

                Nice fish(s) though michelle. I called the ttu wader up on the way to the bote and he met me at daylight at sea isle marina. We really werent concentrating on fishing today you see. Just scouting around. And, I know you believe me.

                        Very nice Michelle!

                        I was in Bayou Vista yesterday at Big Daddys sucking down cold beer and eating lunch after fishing.

                          OK Michelle, as your first fishing post, you are required to give lat/lon on where the location you caught those excellent fish. (No we won't "potlick" your spot, we'll just claim it as "our spot" and say you potlicked our spot).
                          "Hey Hillary, regarding the Benghazi Attack on 9/11-we'll just blame it on that movie, not my total lack of security. By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.
