I went to Texas to fish with some friends on the flats & for Tarpon. It was pretty cool.

The water. About ankle deep as far as you can see. Freaking crazy!

One of my friends. They like queer shirts down there. It's outta hand.

Too damn flat for me on the coastal plain.

My friend KT. He's got a show called The KT Diaries. Showed up @ the lodge one morning & took me Tarpon fishing. For free. Damn good friend!

flyfishindave -> RE: Tejas (8/3/2008 2:50:12 PM)

great pics sal, looks like you had a great time



salmotrutta -> RE: Tejas (8/3/2008 5:47:44 PM)

5 days of fun wrapped up in those shots. Texans treated me well. I didn't meet one person who didn't say "Welcome to Texas" & go out of their way to make certain I had a perfect trip.
Funny thing to me was talking to a dude who said he lived right up the street. I asked how far? "About two hours" he says. Haha.
This wasn't a big money trip. I have friends down there & it was a gathering. Guys with skiffs poled those who didn't.
Split gas in the boats & all that.
I hope to make it next year.
Already planning on SC for Reds this fall. I got an invite from a friend down there. Yeah man.



thedrake -> RE: Tejas (8/3/2008 7:56:25 PM)

Nice pics!

I'm heading to Massachussets for stripers on the fly next week, hopefully i'll get some good pics to post..



nut -> RE: Tejas (8/4/2008 5:46:31 AM)

used to live down there, brownsville south padre island area. where on the intercoastal waterway were you? pics bring back good memories.



KJH807 -> RE: Tejas (8/4/2008 9:23:58 AM)

good deal...
i sure hope you didn't one of those fruity shirts



eyesandgillz -> RE: Tejas (8/4/2008 11:08:56 AM)

Lived in Houston for 2 years.  Loved it.  The inshore and offshore fishing is a blast and spoils you.  Freshwater just isn't the same anymore.



salmotrutta -> RE: Tejas (8/4/2008 4:12:51 PM)

I landed in Houston & was picked up there by one of the guys.
We staked out in Port OConner. Also hit Aransas for a day.
The Tarpon thing was very cool.
It is very flat down there. I missed the hills almost as much as my kids.
The first day back I went Brookie fishing just to be in the hills again.
It was a great trip. Real fun group of guys that I met up & fished with down there.
No corny shirt for me. The funny thing about that was everyone had a 4WD with a lift kit- and they all had Mango colored fishing shirts. Not the guys I fished with, but the people we saw. Kinda funny.

Nice Pictures Sal! Looked like a good time.

Did you hook into any BBQ? [:)]



salmotrutta -> RE: Tejas (8/6/2008 12:18:27 PM)

Brisket BBQ in Texas. Real good stuff one of the guys made up. Somewhere in there is some of it.

Thanks for sharing your pictures.  Looks like you had fun.  Life is too short to not have fun!
