Fishing Report
Friday May 29, 2009
Fishing with good friend Captain Robert today we headed north out of Port Mansfield on a beautiful chamber of commerce sunrise day with a fresh easy north wind in our faces with a smooth little chop on the water perfect conditions the water was beautiful with about two feet of visibility. The first hump that we decided to stop and give a brief wade on was in about three to four feet of water with a sandy to grass soft bottom. We both elected to go with top water lures today and enjoy the visible action that we anticipated to see. We had not waded more than fifty feet from the boat when we both hooked up with near 24 inch trout; we continued to wade another 45 minutes in the area picking up nice keeper trout with several really big blow-outs with Captain Robert hooking up and breaking of he could not believe it……1. Huge trout 2. Breaking of 3. Losing his trusty top-water lure. We hoped back on the boat for a short ride to another hump that we thought would be ideal this morning. We began our wade at this location also using top-water lures in about four feet of water with Captain Robert going in one direction and I in the opposite direction picking up occasional fish what a blast on top-waters. Captain Robert continued with top-waters and I switched to plum colored tales with both of us continuing to catch quality fish. Captain Robert did hook-up with a real monster trout in the 30 inch range that he did release. We boarded our boat and headed back to Port Mansfield it was 12:45 p.m. we had limits of redfish and trout in the ice chest and had caught and released many nice trout and redfish what a blast top waters and tales a very enjoyable morning!
10 trout 2 limits= 18–27 inches.
6 redfish 2 limits= 21-27 inches.
Bone colored top-waters & plum tales on ¼ jig heads.

Fishing Report
Saturday May 30, 2009
Began the day by stopping by Harbor Bait and Tackle to purchase some live shrimp and ice, and what a surprise to run into a great old friend there at the dock all starched up with his sombrero on. I headed north today the weather was beautiful gorgeous sunrise with a slight breeze out of the north with a ripple chop on the Laguna Madre. I had to deliver today on the fishing because today I had the misses and she is an excellent lady-angler. We began the day drifting in one of my favorite locations with a light north wind in about 4 feet of water near the ICW. The misses was catching some nice fish. All went dead at about 8:30 am with no wind and the surface became like glass and the fish got lock-jaw, this continues for about an hour and half. A breeze out of the southeast began to pick-up and the fishing did likewise. We moved to another of my favorites locations along the ICW in about 5 to 7 feet of water and finished up our morning at 11:30 a.m. with limits in the fish box with some nice fish being released.
10 trout 2 limits = 18 - 28.75 inches.
6 redfish 2 limits = 21 – 24 inches.
Popping corks with live shrimp.
Wind –early out of north @ 5mph latter in morning SE @ 10-15 mph.
