Mach 10 with the Red Reaper

Stevie Nick didn’t have to blindfold us. The 180’s and G forces pretty much assured that Al “Cbreeze” Calabrese and I would never find our way back to the ponds where we would be sight-fishing all day.

Spring Flounder Fishing on the Texas Coast

There are many good reasons why our location on the upper end of the Texas Coastal Bend supports such a rich fishery, but probably the most important reason is the number of access points to the open waters of the Gulf that allows water to flow directly into our bay systems.

Modify Hard Baits for Big Fish

Most hard baits have two or three treble hooks. The problem with this setup is large fish and lengthy fights can cause those tiny hooks to open up or tear from a fish’s lip. We all know this loss hurts. The bigger the fish, the worse it hurts and the more likely it is to happen. I came up with a solution for this scenario several years ago while targeting giant tarpon. I adapted my hard baits to use a single large hook. It resulted in the successful landing of more big fish than with the original hardware.
