Fishing Tactics

So who here is into fishing? I know that most of us live in the coastal area or close enough for a weekend trip every now and then. I'm looking for some guys to hit the water with.

 

I'm always up for fishing!

 

I'll go fishing with ya! But not that far down in corpus! Lol meet half way? Freeport?

 

Speaking of...!!

Matagorda!! would be much nicer and closer to midway point. Though Port Aransas has some nice fishing too

 

I've always wanted to go fishing in PINS!!! I live in SA, just bought a surf rod a few days ago that's itching to be used.

 

Aaron (TEX) is a big fisherman. I'd love to get some gear and go out. Honestly, I used to fish as a kid all the time. I'd ride my bike, rod and tackle box in hand, down to a local corporate park that had this tiny pond to go fish. I don't have that gear anymore.

I should go out and get some stuff but I have no idea what to get. It's been too long lol

 

Best advice it to get gear based on what type of fishing you do/is available where you live (i.e. freshwater vs. saltwater) everything after that is all just personal preference

 

Im always up for a fishing adventure. I have never heard of Matagorda but sounds pretty cool. This college student needs a short vacation every now and again!
Do any of you have set up for rod holders on your trucks?

 

I hear ya on the short vacation now and again, as a fellow college student.


Here's my setup. It's just some spraypainted plywood with a few rod holders screwed into place...



This was at SPI about 2 years ago

 

Hey I can Tell it gets the job done!

 

I've found that buying fishing gear at stores like academy closer to the ocean yields better gear than land locked stores in Austin or Dallas. Salt water gear is just more durable. Next time you take a trip to the ocean get you a Nice Penn pole and reel. Maybe just entry level. But that is night and day compared to those Shakespeare combos at wallyworld

 

Well Im in corpus as well and I go fishing MAAAAYYYYYBEEEEE alittle too much


Here's my Fishing Machine

 

I bet you catch alot off the national sea shore with that rig! That looks awesome man we need to go catch somethin!

 

Yeah Its hit or miss sometimes but yeah we can do some fishing for sure.


Do you go to TAMUCC?

 

DUUUDE I'm definitely down for some fishing at PINS!!! I've never been there, but I really want to go.

With enough planning I'm sure we can get some interest.



Nice set up by the way. After snapping rod tips twice when I just threw them in the bed I decided to make something to keep them out ofthe way. Twice I closed the tail gait on the rods.

That taught me a lesson!

 

No I am attending Delmar, cheaper I plan on transfering to TAMUG when im done with basics.
Maybe next weekend we can toss a few poles in the packery channel or something, weather permitting.

 

Matagorda has some really good fiishing and is probaly about 2.5 - 3 hrs from corpus
. A group of us usally head out there at least once a year for a weekend trip. Its a great place for trout, redfish and flounder.

 

Well you wanna plan a day a week or 2 from now on the weekend for a Fishing/Meet and Greet at the beach

 

I saw a guy that has PVC set up in his truck bed for poles. It was cool. I'll try to find it.
