Hiking to grayling at Eagle River in Alaska

Wasn’t a fishing trip exactly, but Luke and Bret brought some gear with them on a hike in Alaska (with the Scouts). 7 miles including an impressive boulder field to Symphony and Eagle lake.

Many Arctic Grayling were caught, on fly, or conventional.

Great views, and cool little fish.

Brazos River on Kayaks

Bret and Donny back up the Brazos a few days after the last trip. zero striped bass this trip, and only days difference. luckily the white bass found this time were all good sized.

weird.

Roughnecks on the trip home seemed like a good idea again.

Brazos River on Kayaks

Bret and Zach on the Brazos. Several good striped bass, and countless tiny white bass.

Cold start to the day, warmed up well as the day went on.

Stopped at Roughnecks Pub in Rio Vista Texas on the way home.

Black Friday Surf Fishing, Sabine Pass, Texas

Hit the beach near Sabine Pass again this year for some surf fishing. (Donny and Bret)

Was tough this trip. Most the rivers in Texas (and especially the Sabin) were flooded right now. The surf looked and tasted like fresh water. Fish were still caught. Red drum, and black drum. Still a great trip down there as always. Excellent beach food, and sleeping with a cool surf breeze at night is perfection.
