Yes go fishing as much as you can! Get away from all the damn idiots unless you go to the pier. Pier fishing is a whole different animal that will test your patience.

One night I was at 91st pier trout fishing with another person and began to rack up our trout numbers to limit. Boy oh boy those damn idiots started to go between us I don’t of our chairs and all this mess to cast into our area of the pier. What pissed me off was at the time they started to cast over my shark lines and get tangled up on my shit. Idiots I say that’s why I just stay way from people when I fish.

Another joke is when I’m tummy deep into the first gut and I have little kids swim up to me trying to play with my stringer and ask me questions like, “hey mister, what are you going to do with these fish? Do they bite? Can I pet them? Etc etc etc”.

It’s really annoying when the parents are partying and drinking on the beach and their young kids are in deep water close to the rip tides where I fish the surf. Once a kid was getting swept away and we had to save his ass. His damn mother got pissed off at us and said we had to no right to get him out of the area. Rip tide with 2ft swells is no bueno!!!! Fooking people

I hear ya, Frank - I usually avoid the piers for that very reason. I usually fish off the rock groins. Sometimes have the same issue there with people horning in where I'm fishing. I usually fish near the end, then a half dozen knuckleheads show up and park their asses practically on top of me, casting over my lines. Grrr.....

My mom always packed extra chairs and made me scatter them out far so those can't fish in our zone it actually works lol

Learned a trick some years back.
After you catch your first flapjack, cut a strip of his belly skin off and put it on the hook in conjunction with your plastic shrimp bait.
Dynamite!
It's tough enough to use on several more.

Hmmm that's interesting

I was once fishing off the boat ramp right before bulldogs bait camp on 61st street (the place where they redid so people can now fish off a wooden deck) around 3am when i heard a suburban flip over and crash. turns out it was a drunk driver late 20's. He was dressed up, probably coming from a business meeting/convention and celebrated after, beer cans and his paperwork all over the street. as i called the police, my brother gave him his last rites as he died before the cops came.

Fishing off the groins/seawall is fun but at late night it can be too dangerous with damn people driving off the seawall.

In another time, we were fishing off the seawall around Christmas time late night (for slots/bullreds) and some lady dressed up wearing victorian gown walked up to us around 3am! Scared the shit out of us!!! Turns out she had just came from Dickens on the Strand.

when it comes to fishing, imma agree with Dorthy Monroe that i'm a fucking retard..

with that out of the way, i guess i witnessed a crime. on buffalo bayou near atticks reservoir (highway 6 a lil south of i-10), i saw a bloke net fishing. the water was really brown so i think the fish couldn't see for shit n so were effin clueless. in 2 throws, he pulled up like 8 fat juicy fish.

go ahead n call the gestapo. net fishing is just so wrong. man can kill all the coral-and corals' tropical ecosystems around the world- through global warming and ocean acidification , but net fishing fish with minimal ecological significance is just so fucking wrong, obviously..

Well, I'm finally going to take a couple days of vacation early next week, head down to Galveston Island and see if I can pull in a nice red or two. Grilled redfish-on-the-half-shell is sounding good....

Thankfully I've never had any of those situations but I did have a few that made me nervous but I will cut you lmao I have 4 sharp knives and mosquito spray I will make you regret trying lmao..

I just wish there were more lighted fishing spots closer to me I don't have many options.. If I Could Find A Battery Powered Light Strong Enough or A light I could rig to my battery I would be in business.. I'm sure they make something but I haven't really looked into it or seen anything to that extent anyways..

[Astros1965]

Yes, I went Monday and Tuesday - unfortunately the fish didn't - lol! I was out there both days from dawn til about 9am. Heading back down there Saturday afternoon and spending the night, so I'll try again Sunday morning.

Have you ever used the ezfshn website ? If you haven't you should really look into it I can vouch that it is actually pretty accurate.. I didn't believe it at first but it hasn't let me down since I've been using it.. I know that sucks we all have our days but look at that website it tells you about the tides major/minor feeding times and when it's good to go fishing by the area you want..

I really haven't caught anything lately except right before all that rain a few weeks ago.. I hope your luck gets better..

Bad fishy fishy btw lmao

Did you go fishing at night or during the day?

I personally never catch shit during the day but that's just my experience!

[frankocean187]

Good luck A65!! Free line some croaker while wade fishing the West End of the seawall or alittle down the street at the Green House beach enterence for trout.

If i'm lucky I might be down there this weekend. Water is green, low to little chop. Just hope there is some current and you don't stumble upon a school of jacks or spanish mack, they will obliterate your bait just as fast as sharks.
