Texoma On Kayaks

Only a single Striped Bass to show for our efforts, but a nice day, regardless.

 

It was opening day for the Texas Rangers, and we’ve made it a habit to have the day off.  So, going fishing seems like a logical move.

We threw some lures around in the Red River for a bit on the way to go watch the game, and have a beer.

Nolan River on Kayaks

A surprisingly brisk morning greeted me as I hopped in the truck (hot coffee in hand) to pick up Donny.  Luckily, he found a good place to leave his 4runner so I could meet him on the way.

Neither of us has launched here before, and this was one of the darkest roads I’ve been on in a long time.

Fish were caught, Several White Bass, 2 White Crappie, and a Lone Largemouth Bass.

 

 

 

All fish caught on Gay Blades (Cotton Cordell) and Roadrunners (Blakemore)

 

 

 

This is a beautiful part of Texas, with high cliffs, clear water, and really nice views.

 

 

Beers and food at Lone Star Cafe in Hillsboro, after.

Surf Fishing Near Port Arthur, TX

3 days on the beach camping, fishing and maybe a little relaxing.

This is the annual Black Friday trip, that had been at the same location for a few years in a row now.

  • Breaking top the long drive with a fuel and coffee stop ar Bic-ees.
  • Calm Evening at Clam Lake

We caught several red drum, a black drum, a bull shark, and somehow, Donny caught a southern stargazer. Having to look u[p a fish to ID is is always fun.
