Week Ending Apr 25:
I got my boat back last week and I like the upgrades. I had some Lenco trim tabs installed. I also had a nice soft Foot Cush installed as well as an awesome boarding ladder. I just want to take a second and thank Eastern Marine for my new trim tabs. I also want to thank Foot Cush for giving my feet a little pillow to ride around on. Last but not least I would like to thank the family owned and operated Aluma-Tech for the great job they did on the ladder.
Now on to the fishing report! As you know the wind has just been playing havoc with the waters here. I slipped out on Thursday with a local from Selkirk. We hoped in the boat around 7:30 and headed towards East Bay. As I suspected the water looked terrible and the small craft advisory wind that was blowing was not helping matters. I really need to spend some time on the water so instead of heading for the house we moved back into Lake Austin. I tied on a cork and we got to chunking. It took a couple of moves inside the lake to locate the area the redfish were holding but after that it was on. We put 5 fish in the box and released one that was 30 ½. We could have stayed for another but we decided to move into the East end of East Bay and look for some trout. After about 40 minutes of just getting pounded we call it a day. It was a great trip despite the wind.
Things are looking really good here when the wind lays and gives you a chance to work the middle of the bays. West Bay is producing fish and the glass minnows can be found on the afternoons. The first of next week is looking really good with regards to the weather.
Folks don’t forget that the Redfish Series is heading to Matty next week and this place will be a zoo so plan accordingly.
Also I can book trips online now through the BOOK TRIP section of the website. I have openings so give me a call and lets hit the water.
