crazy_cajun02 Posted July 16, 2007 Report Posted July 16, 2007 well we didn't find any fish, or any fish that wanted to play. We found a couple of decent concentrations but they rejected the spoons and would circle back to sniff the gulp bait then move on. I don't know if the boat traffic had them spooky or what. I had several blow ups on a super spook but no hooks in the mouth. It was pretty hard to find that crystal clear water with the 20mph SE wind blowing , but we managed. Everyone that found decent fish that i talked to made the 2hr baot run to the land cut or port mansfield. We definantly could have filled the boat with trout off the King Ranch Shoreline though. In 2 days we put 80 miles on the boat and close to 35 gallons of fuel. Rockport tournemant is coming in september, hopefully that will be different. I know that water much better and a little calmer wind.
tvc184 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 I got second place in Spanish Mackerel in the Deep Sea Roundup in Port Aransas one year. This is the 73rd year for it. It must be in the running for the oldest saltwater tournament in the country.
643 Posted July 17, 2007 Report Posted July 17, 2007 Sounds like you had a large time. I wish I only burnt 35 gall with a 80 mile run, I could fish twice as much.
crazy_cajun02 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Report Posted July 17, 2007 It wasn't offshore. the offshore boat gets about a mile to the gallon. It was an IFA tournemant "The RedfishTour". we just got a new motor on the boat and the gas mileage is suprising. We ran from marker 37 marina to shamrock island then back all the way to the mouth of baffin bay then back to the packery channel and then back to marker 37 2 days in a row. add in running all the flats in between all that. as for the redfish..........frustrating at best.
