Fishing? Oh F Yeah! Growing up in Houston, I had the best of both worlds...fresh and saltwater. My dad had a 21' Sportcraft with 160hp Mercruiser in/out. Loved going 30+ miles out in the Gulf and catching King, Ling (Cobia), Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, and Amberjack.

As I got older, what I really enjoyed was wade fishing around San Louis Pass or driving down the beach at Bolivar looking for seagulls feeding or skitish baitfish. Fishing for Speckled Trout, Flounder, and Reds. I would have the truck packed-up the night before. Have the coffee set for 10 minutes before the alarm clock so it would be ready when I woke up. Fill up one of those huge insulated coffee mugs and hit the road. It was about a 1 hour drive from Houston and I would have the Rock blaring loud, puffing on a fatty rolling down the road at 4:00 A.M. Wade out into the water just as the sun was rising....nothing like it!

Now I live on a lake. The drive to the Gulf is about 2 1/2 hours now so I don't get to go as often as I would like. The plus is that I can walk outside and fish here anytime I get "the itch".

Any like-minded Texans between here and the coast that would like to plan a trip, get with me. I know how it is to go fishing with someone that needs constant attention (which is okay I guess...I don't mind teaching someone that REALLY want's to learn), but trust me....I am not that person. No babysitting required here....I DO know the sport.

Holla!
Oh F Yeah Reviewed by Oh F Yeah on . Fishing...or any outdoor activity I love to fish and just be out on the ocean. Greatest place ever. I used to live in Naples, Florida and that is all we did. Here's some pics. The first is a Tarpon my buddy and I caught at the tip of Caxambas Pass on Marco Island. It weighed aproximatley 70-80lbs. We caught 9 and hooked into aproximately 27 tarpon in 3 days of fishing for just a couple hours after work. Probably some of the best fishing I have ever done. The second is a 520lb(FORMULA derived: multiply the square of the Rating: 5
