My Son-In-Law took me to a spot on Trinity bay this morning. Wind was blowing about 15 knots, I guess. Visibilty was 6" at most, cloudy, capping in places.
We waded in and fished facing the shoreline. I was using a PowerBait Red mullet with a white paddel tail. About a medium retreive. We were there before the sun came up and it was WAY to choppy for top water. The shrimp were popping around us all morning.
We both kept getting little bumps, but we though it was us wanting to get a bite too bad. I finally caught a 22" red.
The gentleman that let us park in his driveway and let us have access to the bay was catching some shrimp, so we started over there since we were not getting any bites.
I caught a sea gull, he must have bit the fire out of me 57 times before I could get him off. It was suggested that I hold him under water till he quit kicking, but I finally got him loose. Then a shrimp went up my pants leg, I dropped my cell phone in my coffee and got it back out before it died.
We ended the morning about 10:00 am the bay was too choppy, it just beat us to death. 1 red, about 10# of shrimp. We found out the little bumps were reds about 6" in length. They were thick as thiefs. We would catch one or two on each throw of the cast net.
This is why I like to fish so much. There is no telling what is going to happen next or when.
