Bluefish In The Surf 03/02/2016

Found fish in the surf tonight and it was fun. Whiting were all around my feet in huge numbers and Mullet up to 18 inches were stacked in and around my legs. It was amazing to see so many fish in one place. There must have been 100,000 of them. 

Kept casting to the smaller mullet and bait fish. Had one Speckled Trout on and I caught two bluefish. They are great fighters but after smoking one all day the best they can be likened to is Sardines. I think I could eat a few but not many. 

Port Mansfield Texas Deep Sea Fishing 02/27/2016

I had the opportunity to go out after Red Snapper the other day and the boat did fairly well as you can tell by the pics. The bite was very light and hard to feel the fish and lots of bait stealers in the 12 inch range. 

The limit here is 4 fish over 15 and I gave away fish early thinking we would be into some hogs. FInally got my 4 and one bruiser but not as good as some days I have gone out. You never can tell what you will get but at least its a day on the water. 

Went with Osprey Cruises and those deck hands worked very hard. We moved the boat often enough to make me believe the captain was doing his best to put us on fish.
