| check the packary flats and also check the flats around the dead mans / kates hole area.. especially the north dead mans. Iv seen many of cownose out there.. if your quite you can just drift in the boat and probably gig them as you drift by.. Iv never done it I dont even know if its legal but Iv defiantly seen them out there |

| You can't avoid them in shamrock flats. They are everywhere in there. |

I noticed the other day the tips and recipes link on here has a article on cleaning them.
Makes me think twice about wading out there.  |

| yes we shoot them with a bow and arrow set up or just use gigs and slings. we need to stock up on a few for sharkathon because they are indeed candy. i have been looking in the deadmans/kate's hole area the past couple of weeks but only southerns. this time last year it was jackpot over there. I had heard that yarborough was loaded but thats a good trek just for ray's. thanks for the shamrock heads up i will check it out |
