Good man!!!!

Fishing is always more enjoyable when everybody is happy.

Sorry I missed your other thread. You had so many suggestions and I was wondering where you ended up.

It looks like another weekend indoors. The weather looks bad.

[Hesser]

Nope, I got up and it was raining hard so I went back to bed. Got up later, it was still raining so I went back to bed. Got up later, raining real hard with lightning and thunder, had a couple Bloody Marys and when back to bed. 3" of rain at my house Sunday alone, not sure what Friday and Saturday were, the rain gauge was full when I checked it.

The boat will get into the water this weekend.

[Hesser]

I think everything is ready to make the 1st trip out this weekend. The boat is ready after getting the gps installed by Pat Wilson. Pat also cleaned up some reels and they have new line. I am over three weeks of the flu and upper respiratory infection and the weather, well maybe it won't thunder and lightning with 30 mps winds. Poppy and I are going out late morning but not sure where will be best. I'll check the morning surf cam for waves, check weather for winds and storms then try to pick a spot to launch and hopefully do some fishing (looking for REDS). Most of all I am looking for clean water to run the boat and learn some about it.

I would go to Lutes, Bastrop Marina, or 2004 if it were me.

[Hesser]

put in at 2004 and headed toward bastrop. got about 2 miles from the ramp and the quick connect pisser failed. shot the male end out of the female quick connect. it was just too old (mental note... if it looks old, change it) made it back to the ramp, loaded back up and went to lowes. everthing is good now, replaced it all with new. headed back out.

5 trips out now, well over $100 in fuel and still not a single fish in the boat. HELP PLEASE. I can see fish, I can see other people catching fish, but I can't get one to take anything I throw. I see others on the forum catching with the same plastic baits I am using (I have not used live bait or fresh dead......yet) in the same areas at about the same time. Next trip is April 21, not sure where but if anyone wants to go with me and help put me on fish, I would appreciate it. Just let me know.

[Hesser]

since not a single person wants to help,

LET THE POT LICKIN BEGIN ! ! !
I know where you are.

[Hesser]

.....Hesser, the 21'st is a bit off but if I am free I might be available. Don't resort to "PotLickin'" as some will on purpose make sure there is a nice shallow reef between the deep water and where they are catchin' fish!!

Found that reef last week, thank goodness it was mostly mud. Thanks for the reply, looking forward to it whenever your ready.

I know the saying, but if I don't get some fish slime on the boat soon, I may take up basketweaving. Livewell and aerator working now, guess it's time to use it.
