We plan to have decaf coffee and hot chocolate, along with a cookie assortment, handy while we visit and talk about 2022 and 2023. This will be at the Trini Mendenhall Community Center, 1414 Wirt Rd, Houston, TX 77055. We plan to have a fishing reports and other discussion with club members. The topics are still under discussion. If you have suggestions, please share. There was a question as to whether or not others could bring a desert. My response “Of course!”
15 club members made this adventure. Our scattered group travelled from Houston, New York, Colorado, Hawaii, and more. Jerry B. And Raymond L. had been there since Monday, getting some fishing in while waiting for the rest of us to show up. My hopes ere to be able to "boat hop" fishing with different anglers and guides during this event. It was a partial success, as we are creatures of habit. I was able to fish with 5 different guides on 8 sessions. For me this included a trip to the lagoons, with Jerry B. Our first day of fishing, started out slow. Not many tarpon were hooked, with one being landed by the Japanese family on vacation there. We were able to settle into our "ready" mode, and a few tarpon were jumped, but I don't think that most of us had our technique dialed in. CLICK TO READ MORE

Fishing can be really good; it can also be very slow. Best time is early in the morning. It will be a good paddle. See post.
