Between this and fall fishing fast approaching I’m starting to get tingles inside.

What species are you targeting and what type of fishing do you do on 80% of your trips? I had trout on hard plastics from September-May as the determining factor when picking out my boat (heron 16). If you are limited to a specific area that needs to be factored in as well.

I’m not sure that the juice would be worth the squeeze when it comes to trout. For redfish and drum I’ve always used the “skin high” method to avoid the blood line. You keep the skinning knife parallel to the filet instead of angling it down and it will leave the bloodline attached to the skin. I can link a video if that explanation doesn’t make sense.

Bad, bad day for the trout community

The Pearl River is worth a look as well 😏

Fishing with 3 generations is awesome! Also, great job of having success with plan b.

For the last few years September has been the month I’ll start looking for school trout in the fall pattern. I’ve found the bigger fish start showing up in October. This is for the east side of the river and obviously is dependent on many variables.

I got him to build what I call a “bridges” rod on a scvII blank and it was incredible. Super light and sensitive. Admittedly, I broke it in an accident that was 100% my fault but that thing was great when it was in one piece.

Having a successful day without a trolling motor deserves major props. Great job on adjusting to the conditions and making something happen.

Sorry to hear about your buddy. Things like that really put stuff into perspective. Everyone on this board is clearly and appropriately obsessed with getting better at fishing but sometimes what’s important is just having a good time out there.
Having said that, I will more than happily come chase some big trout on the Texas coast with you. I’ve fished around Matagorda and Rockport but I want to give south of corpus a try. One of my good fly fishing buddies may be moving to Houston this year as well. In my opinion he’s quietly one of the best fly fishing/sight fishing redfish guys in the state so he will most definitely be finding ways to fish and duck hunt over there. I can put you in contact with him if he ends up moving that way.

+1 on trying that section, especially rock lines, multiple times in different conditions. There’s a stretch of rocks that I love in the MRGO that’s a few miles long but consistently produces fish in 2 spots that make up less than 5% of the entire rock line. It took lots of casting to find that out and some low tides confirmed those are the two spots that rocks just out anywhere from 10-30 feet from the shore. I may have never found those spots after only fishing it a couple times.

You are right…..photoperiod and water temps is what you are looking for. I also think salinity levels can have something to do with it as well. A couple years ago it was salty very DEEP inside Bayou B and I found some bigger fish in early September. Like others have said, you can also run into some September trout in bayous and grass flats off of Lake P and Catherine.

I definitely need to be better with trailer maintenance. I drive anywhere from 30 minutes to 1.5 hours and I dunk my hubs every time I launch/pick up.
That is how tohatsu recommends oil/oil filter changes but I think I’ve done both at the same time up until now.
-
Do you use salt away to flush your motor as well? It also works for soaking baits after wading trips but you probably knew that already.
Good idea on the voltage meter. We can eventually do a gear list as well.

I’ve fished Matagorda and East Matty before. What you will learn in here will apply to that area for sure.
