Sorry for the late report…just got back from Aransas Pass after couple nights in Austin. Fished last week 8th(Tues) thru 12th(Sat). It was my 13 yr old daughter’s first trip to the coast with big brother and Dad. She was excited and did great….as expected…she tore us up !

Wind would be the story for the week. Tues evening we fished a major drain around Dagger. Between two small islands in about 6 inches of water, got a shock when I landed my best trout as 27 inches. Had no idea she was that big. She came around the back of the boat and the setting sun just lit up her long body with all those spots !! I will never forget being so surprised.

Wednesday was Caleigh’s day as she hooked up with her first Red. It was a battle…she got tired and tried to give me the rod…..I wouldn’t take it……I told her she would catch this fish or not catch it….we don’t want to say ‘we’ caught it. She did it!! 27 inches.
Her smile was so big . She sent the pic and text to about 50 friends, right there from Dagger. Dad managed a 22 inch Red. She added a 25 inch Red on Saturday.
I ended the week with 4 Reds (20,22,23,24) and the trout. A great week of fishing even with the wind and dirty water. Cut shad caught all the fish, including the trout, all inside Dagger.
The strikes were not aggressive at all. We had to let them have it and take the ‘bow’ out of the line…..probably caught 15-20 hardheads a day…so light taps were common….but sometimes they were the Reds. Only one RBE (rod bending event) all week!

My younger brother with his two sons joined us Thurs as they added 3 Reds, 22,23,25
for the week. What a treat to share the coast with them and I even fished one day with my oldest nephew.

Big brother, Troy, got skunked….so littl’ sis has been ‘dishing it out’ all week. She got everyone…. spoke of that 27 inch Red in almost every sentence…She didn’t want us 5 guys to forget who had the biggest Red. I was proud of her to say the least.
So ends another new moon June coastal trip. Bet she goes again…..every year!
Best to all !

I'm glad you told her to reel that sucker in....catching CAN be a bit tiring, but that is a great experience once the fish is in the box.

Good for her!
