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.
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.
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.
