Some very exciting reports and great advice has been posted regarding the Redfish and mullet action at the Packery Channel. I made a last minute decision Tuesday night to head out of town and get in on the action. I told my son about it and we watched the weather. We knew it wasn't going to be Chamber of Commerce weather but we took the gear we thought was best.
Wednesday morning we loaded up and headed out into some horrible traffic due to the rain here in San Antonio. Eventually we got out of town and made into Corpus Christi a few hours later...this was on the horizon!

At the Jetty we could see there were several fisherman there. We netted some mullet and then made our way down and found one of the suggested spots. Minutes later Chris is hooked up...

Then he and I...

We landed 5 before 1pm. We let this one go. It was right at 20".

Confident we would catch our limit, we stayed a little longer.It rained a little but it was warm. Offered some tackle to the Jetty Gods. A few runs but no hook ups. We packed it up and left to get some food and dry off.
Went back to the jetty around 3pm with high hopes. The tide was moving out with force. We caught a few skipjacks. Saw several Reds landed on the channel sides of North and South Jetty.
Chris landed a Spanish Mackerel after a few cut offs.

Satisfied with our catch, we packed it up and made our way back home safely. Everything came together at the right time and we really enjoyed the time together.
