FLOATING CABIN · Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 5:36 pm Post subject: NIGHT TROUT/ DAY REDS/ PICS

Went down to the cabin from 07-27 thru 07-29. Got there right after noon and man was it a steamer. Set everything up kicked on the a/c then went and caught some bait. The gents that were with me got a trip that I donated for a cancer benefit. That afternoon we drifted back in the nine mile hole and caught a couple of boxer reds and a few dinks, No oversize were caught. We were using live finger mullet freelined under a alameda popping cork. A few school trout were boated and released. Night came to quick it seemed, and the smell of T-bones on the BBQ grill filled the evening air.
We fired the green light up and watched a beautiful texas gulfcoast sunset as we adourned our tastebuds with salad, twice baked potatoes and of course the T-bones with all the trimm'ins. The fish started showing up with a vengence. The trout were chas'in bait all over the place, it kinda sounded like a kingfish feed'in freenzy offshore. Lots of bait shrimp under the lights. We were using glow in the dark speck rigs, the "killer lure" and glow in the dark catch 2000 suspended lure and they were just hammer'in them. We ended up with approx 40 to 50 trouts and a couple of reds. The gamewarden payed a nice proffesional visit and stated that they were
"just about the only fish he had seen recently that anyone else has caught". There has been a large influx of fresh h2o into the area and changed up the fishing pattern to more like winter time. Here are some pics.

It ook me a while to choose a digital camera but i finally settled on the olympus 770 sw. it takes excellent pics. the ones at night were without the flash on. i'm going to try to get some underwater shots on the next trip at night if the water clear enough. i'm pleased with the camera and the pics it takes.

Cool pics.!
I have a slight beef with those lights.
I was coming back down the Lydia Ann channel from Mud island after dark when I saw what I thought was the starboard light of a big barge. I drifted from one side of the channel to the other but never saw a port light. Kind of freaked me out because I started to wonder if he was sideways in the channel, possibly aground. It was'nt untill I was within a hundred yards or so that I figured out it was some fishermen with a green light on the east bank. Gave me a wierd sense of vertigo.
