[extremewaderdude88]

[shallowist]

Yeah, maybe when I grow up...Check the pics in the profile, I catch a decent fish every once in a while. :)

You live in the Seabrook Area?

[extremewaderdude88]

nah i grew up living in westbay.I moved to sugarland when i was 16..its near houston..it sucks to move away from the coast for a long time!!

[shallowist]

just though that I had seen your name attached to reports there. Where in West Bay did you grow up? Sugarland isn't too bad, you need to take up fishing XMas, and Chocolate. Some great fishing there once you learn the ropes.

Good to see you on board. I haven't said this on the board before, but one of the reasons that I post is that there isn't the bickering and bashing here. Lot of good people on this board.

[Ibtsoom]

Welcome!!

[extremewaderdude88]

thats good to hear...yea i lived in sea isle right up on the bay! i mainly fish westbay and chocolate but right now no boat or anything..just walk in wade on the southshoreline..or take my kayak to chocolate bay but its pretty a long paddle lol..it suckks man...i had a boat when i lived in west bay..i fish in christmas bay during the summer..havent been trying in the winter though...sugarland is pretty far away lol

[FlatoutFishin]

Sugarland is also an hour closer to BAFFIN! :D

[extremewaderdude88]

[FlatoutFishin]

cooll..dont know when ill be hitting west bay..but it has to be soon lol!! when u going again?

Friday morning, maybe Saturday, definitely Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Shift work can be good...or it can be a pain. Lately its been a pain! 10 days is about as long as I can stand.

[extremewaderdude88]

wow thats good...make sure to post a report up then...hope i can go soon!

[FlatoutFishin]

You got it!

[fishingRED]

Nice to see u finally joined Ryan...Gone fishing with this guy once, and he knows where the fish are, Look him up in 2cool, and youll see his reports. Looking forward to fishing on Wed....Long drive to pick u up then drive ack south so we should think about baffin????anyone can lead us to a good wade spot around baffin,,,,no boat and no kayak for that day!

[extremewaderdude88]

fyea man...i really like it here lol...i really dont know any good spots in baffin but anyone might know.

[FlatoutFishin]

fyea man...i really like it here lol...i really dont know any good spots in baffin but anyone might know.

:rolleyes:

[extremewaderdude88]

do u monte?? lol

[FlatoutFishin]

I'd say, but then they wouldn't be SECRET anymore!

[FlatoutFishin]

I'd say, but then they wouldn't be SECRET anymore!

Let me say this clue...one of the best trips I had to Baffin was in March and it happened on an extremely windy day and you could've gotten there by yak easily...my only clue!

[extremewaderdude88]

cool..thats what i thought...kayaking would be better for baffin

[shallowist]

here's a not a secret anymore secret. Walk in at Bird Island basin and walk north....
I haven't spent any real time in Rivera Beach, but I'm sure that a quick once over of the Hot spots map will unveil a few areas that can be accessed. Most of the North and South Shoreline is Ranch access only, so unless your last name is Kenedy or King, good luck getting there. Corpus certainly has a few spots, find an area where you can walk in that is less than a mile from deep water this time of the year and you have a chance. Good Luck! let us know what you find...

[FlatoutFishin]

Yakking and Shamrock Cove(not baffin but close) are another hotspot. After looking at a hotspot map, check out Google Maps satellite veiw and make notes on your map for future reference. There are BIG trout in Shamrock along with some outstanding red action.

That area North of Bird Island Ramp(Night Hawk) is good, and no secret, but that channell directly in front of the ramp and just East of the spoil island can be outstanding, and I mean outstanding.

That's it, I've given away too much....my mouth is sealed:rolleyes:

[extremewaderdude88]

lol thanks..u didnt have to post them here...u couldve pmed me but its no secert so it doesnt matter..:)

[shallowist]

See, FOF let the secret out and will be forever ridiculed.....:) How about the north end at Brown Harbor, and several other spots along the road to the ferry. You just have to think like a trout in the winter and stay somewhere that has access to some deeper water.
