What was your last fishing trip?
I'm not talking about the last time you hooked your boat up or kayak, or even fishing from the bank, but the last time you drove somewhere, spent the night, and was fishing the entire trip?
For me it was June 2018. Took the boat and a friend down to Corpus Christi. For me it was a learning experience. For my buddy it was a chance to fish from a boat.
What I learned from that trip is a mushroom anchor, at least in that part of the Texas coast, is useless. My trolling motor is not strong enough for the coastal wind. When I tried to use it on max, I'd trip the breaker Not a problem on lakes I fish, as most of the time, I don't need the max. Down there you do.
I also learned that even though I went with someone that goes fishing down there 6 to 7 times a year, I still need to plan the trip. He fishes in a kayak and was always when an eye shot of where he put in with his yak.
While we completely struck out on catching fish, I still enjoyed the trip.
Didn't plan anything like that for 2019, but I think this spring we need to go back.
So, what was your last trip?
