Arrived a SLP the boat launch at 0700 with a plan to meet a few others and hit the saltwater at about 0730.

Fishing this weekend, 28-30 June 2019
Just because you aren't able to make the 5 hour trip to the South Llano this weekend doesn't mean that you can't take advantage of our local waters.
So far I've had 4 people contact me about fishing locally this weekend. I had to decline as I'm out west.
Post up on here, or another forum, and get these guys on the water!

TFFers travel to South Louisiana
On February 11, 2019, Joe French, Dennis Auger, Nicolas Lestrer and Joe Nicklo travelled to South Louisiana with hopes and expectations of fooling those wily big bull red fish with feathers and tinsel at the end of a 30-pound leader … and with the help of two seasoned guides. Weather is always a factor at this time of year and it proved to be uncooperative. We got blown off the water the first day by a fast moving storm that blew thru with thunder and lightening for most of the day. Fortunately, the next day arrived with blue skies, sunshine and 15 to 20 mph winds. We arrived at the Hopewell marina at 8AM where we met guides Miles and David. Shortly, we were underway with French and Auger fishing to the South and Lester and Nicklo fishing to the North. Eight hours later we met back at the marina only to find that French and Auger kicked butts with several good red fish. French hooked and landed this huge 41” bull along with several others. Auger also caught several nice reds as seen in the attached photos. Sad to say, Lester and Nicklo had none.
Post DrERFTF fishing trip at Shoalwater
3 of us made it to Shoalwater, and launched from Charlie's Bait Camp. The water was clean and there was no wind.
Post DrERFTF fishing, SW
I think we should go fishing the day after the 27th Annual Dr. Ed Rizzolo Fly Tying Festival I propose that we meet at Charlie's Bait Camp, 4194 Lane Rd, Seadrift, TX 77983, with boats and kayaks Sunday morning and try out those flies that we just tied. Thoughts?
