New ride looks great Jimmy. I was going to text you yesterday, but was swamped at work. I was gonna ask if you had been fishing. ( Apparently.more than I)

Thanks Gents, yep, working Monday Damian. Etxbuckman, if I placed a well cooked Flounder and Tilapia next to each other, you'd pick the Tilapia... Completely different fish from that farm raised crap you get at the store.
I've been going to Gibbons, but I've heard Fairfield, and a few other hot water lakes by Tyler got them to. On a pretty hot day, you can fill the freezer with them. Better hurry though, the Spawn will probably be over in a couple weeks and the fish will go deeper. Better get off here and hurry home, wife's cooking more... Tilapia!

Didn't think you could bowfish Gibbons. I know right where that is. May have to give it a shot.

Ewwww
Finally got on the water. My dad wanted me to ride with him and test his boat. Didn't catch a thing. I guess the last two floods really tore the river up. But I can see a bow fishing trip in my future. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk |

Gentlemen! I have officially started a new fishery, and your welcome for disclosing it, because it's so **** fun!
My neighbor and I ran out to some rigs last Saturday in his bay boat. We left out of Freeport and ran straight out to that rig that's in about 100' of water in hopes to find a mackerel bite and maybe see a Cobia. Well about 15 other boats had the same idea since it was so pretty and it was a parking lot... No Kings or Spanish, just a bunch of people holding up around the rig catching Red Snappers that they had to throw back. LUCKILLLYYYY, I had my daughters pink Bear Apprentice rigged for bowfishing in my truck and stuffed it in a compartment before leaving the dock. The rig was loaded with Spadefish, about a football fields worth of them suspended just under the surface on the western side of the rig. Pulled out the pink bow and proceeded to whoop some major Spadefish butt! Got three big ones in ten minutes, depth of shot ranging from 2-5ft. I then gave the bow to my neighbor for a try. He managed to get two more in another 10 minutes, and then he shot without pressing the button on the reel and blew up the gears... Had 5 in the boat, then worked our way back to the pass. It was brief, but I plan on going back this weekend to a rig and killing em till the coolers full. With conditions like last Saturday, you could literally shoot 500 times at fish if you wanted to. I've heard that Spadefish was good to eat, but never tried it till after the trip. It's better than redfish and trout, that's a promise. Go get you some!!!

With all the fish restrictions now in place in our GOM, this is really an untapped resource for an almost guaranteed meat haul. Picking out the bigger ones to shoot, we managed to put 26 in the cooler in a couple of hours. Why play catch and release on bottom fish when you can murder and keep? Keep in mind though, your boat will look like a mass murder scene when finished if done correctly...

That looks like a blast Jimmy. went scouting yesterday and hung my camera far back there, I leaned my rifle on a tree and there was a timber rattler coiled up right under me perfectly still, my phone won't upload on here but I did put it up on the sam houston hunters Facebook group. It had some cool colors on it.

Thank goodness those Timber Rattlers are fairly docile! We moved one off a gravel road last year and it took quite a while for it to start rattling.

How did the SHNF thread get derailed and shift to saltwater fishing
![]() Seriously, I knew we had timber rattlers here but i can never find them. I dont see them around the house either just a few miles north of Sam. I wish i wasn't busy this weekend or i would meet you fellers out in Chester |

Doors should open for cards around 8, take a few warmup shots and hit the trail. I'll be there around 7:30

That was the plan until Friday when I saw the new schedule. Corporate visit so everyone has to work. Maybe next time. Good luck to everyone.
