Tuesday, December 6th, 2022, 0800 at Stingaree Marina until about 1400 (T1O that night that I don't want to miss) The nearby marsh should be filled with redfish and trout and even large black drum for those who wish to go on a Texas sleigh ride! Details here....
This is a great rod, but it just doesn't fit may lazy casting style. I used it on exactly one fishing trip, and it performed perfectly, but the action is just too fast for me. "Puck"
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

Great day to be outside, but no fish came to hand for us fly flingers. There was no water movement all day. At sunrise the water was high, and into the grass. There was no change from 0700-1400. We covered a lot of ground but only saw sleeping fish. I quit counting the numbers of sleeping flounder that we woke, usually within 10 feet of our position. Around noon we tried topwater flies, and had a few half-hearted hits, but nothing hooked.
