With so much going on this time of year, it gets a little hard prioritizing which way to go. Dove still need thinning out in San Antonio. Deer feeders and cameras need checking in Concan. Bow blinds need fixing in Rockport, season starts in just two weeks. Trout are thick at the house boat. Black Drum are all over the east shore line. Big schools of redfish started exiting the bay system. And there's probably Tarpon on the beach. What's a man to do with only two days in the weekend?

Well, a beach trip was long over due so the boys and I started out Friday evening after work. Coming on the beach with only a few minutes of sunlight, we found a big concentration of birds and bait down to the 10m. Shot down to the 30s and made camp for the night.

Saturday we fished all the way south to the jetty and then back north to the 40s. Sunday was all north.

Mullet were in the wade gut the entire beach. Anchovies were on the north end on Friday but we didn't see much of them down south. We came across a few schools of menhaden in the 40s on Sunday and harvested some for winter bait.

Fishing was hit or miss most of the trip. Nothing overly consistant other than a good redfish bite on live mullet in the wade gut. Both mornings saw a short lived run of Jacks busting mullet in the wade gut. On Sunday we found a few Tarpon in casting range but no takers. Also had a few sharks in the wade gut we sight casted to but they turned there heads up at cut Jack. The better bite occured on a rising tide. No fish holding up at any of the wrecks. Need a good cold front to get things in motion.

We saw no signs of red tide anywhere. Water was off colored from the 50s to the jetty. Driving was really good with low tides during most of the day. The high banks would be pure hell if the tide was up.

Chris found a cool section of Columbian Mammoth tooth. One of the bigger pieces we've found in a long time.

Stump & FrayKnot,

Mammoth tooth parts are fairly common on the beach if you know what to look for. Most of the time it's only a small section of the main vain of enamel. Here's a picture "off the internet" of what the whole tooth looks like.
