Surf out of POC got right Saturday
Morning. Caught a four man limit and released almost that many with some buddies. Some good 3-4 lbers but nothing real big. Really liked anything white, mostly none diamond dsl.

Where y’all staying on the island?

Well the new boat purchase is going to be put on hold for a little longer... we decided we will just wait a bit no rush.

In the meantime I’m tired of replacing and or having reels fail I’ve been using abu Garcia revo but keep having to many problems with them. What do y’all recommend?

We fished boliver/crystal beach surf for the past week. I only go once or twice a year and target small sharks with bass rigs because it’s easy and fairly predictable. The occasional trout or red is just a bonus.

Monday pm and most of Tuesday were as good as I could imagine the surf conditions for trout. We started with spooks and spoons then caught bait. It was slick and green with a NE wind and everything seemed hungry. Just 2 of us fishing caught trout, ladyfish, blacktips, bonnet heads, hammerheads, hardheads, big croaker, whiting and least a million gafftops.

Only got 5 keeper trout out of about 20 total but they were all good ones! It was sure fun while it lasted but the wind turned ESE and got real Tuesday pm.

Here's a pic from yesterday's trip. We had to leave today so me & my son kayaked a little. Tide was way out in the marsh wind blowing good,so surf was out. Ended up with 2 trout & a red. CPR'ed them for another day.

Chris,
I like the inshore series Lew's. Nice smooth reels.

We had a great day today with Glenn(coastalducks). We booked a trip for my mother in law for her birthday. We caught a pile of fish and Glenn was very helpful with my MIL, she’s not very good at fishing. Lol. My wife landed a 38” red! We had to chase it down with the boat. Great day on the water and if anybody is looking for a guide in Matagorda give Glenn a call.

CONGRATS to y'all Phillip!! Great trip & Glenn is as good as they get! Great guy & guide.

Shimano. I have a concept also which isn’t bad but you cannot beat the Shimano lineup

Son wanted to try for bigger fish today. Only run on big rod. Did catch drum, whiting, lady fish on bait rod. Water was decent but current and wind was tough.

Went out yesterday with my Brother in Law and he put me and my son on some giant reds and a pretty big jack.
