The Texas City Dike has some monsters swimming right now. We're using blue crabs for bait and the big fish wanted them!

Always bring a trash bag and when the mess is cleaned up people are more likely to carry their trash out to. People blame the trash on fisherman but those aren't fishermen that leave the trash those are slobs😤😤🤬

Hay Marine 😃 Enjoyed meeting you at the fishing show. This old man hopes you can enjoy the popping cork and the “What I Think is a DOD Vacation Spot” in Seward Alaska. The enjoyment of wetting a line transitions most all that us humans strive for. There isn’t anything like the fight and release of your foe. This old NAVY brat salutes you sir. Be Blessed

Great job. North Fork Composite (NFC, Gary Loomis's company) makes excellent blanks. Christians rod is built on an NFC SJ703 C6O2 blank. Ive now switched to Texas made blanks though. From a builders perspective, Old 18 is awesome. Theyve been using USA made blanks and good components long before other companies started finally using USA blanks. Old 18 also has the best pricing for the quality of their builds.

While you did good to get them back out there. Ya know I'm just one of those people that looks at the area I'm fishing , what's in the way or makes it difficult to bring in what I'm fishing for , and if its not easy to get the catch and return it , I simply just find a different place. I just never want to be the last thing and old fish like that sees. Not that fish have emotional feelings but it would just bother me , if I could not harvest it.
