We had a pretty busy weekend. It started off stormy, but improved later in the weekend.I had a nice visit with former owners Brad and Andy Phair. They went with guide Tim Redden on Friday. The wind was still strong, but Tim put them on fish in Estes Flats at Baker's. They brought in 12 trout, with the largest being 28 inches, and 8 reds. Their son Randy's girl friend caught the biggest trout. Brad went to Jennifer Dong to buy some shrimp that I have commented about. He left with over a hundred dollars worth.
Clay Wright(703) got some good fishing in. He found some nice trout while wading at the Navigation District park behind the airport. He said he saw a lot of drum being caught from the Legget Channel at the Rockport Beach.
Maghsoud Tahmoressi(407) and his son, Michael, got some fishing in from the pier. Michael is attending UTSA. The only two keeper trout that I saw caught this weekend both came from the first light on the north pier. One of those was my 16 inch catch. There were a lot of smaller trout around.
Jeannine Vater(401) told me about a mattress she purchased for their sofa sleeper. The mattresses that come with those things leave a lot to be desired. She sent me the link from Overstock.com and the mattress had gone down from the $300 she paid to $240. I ordered mine Sunday evening. She said they are memory foam and four inches thick and make a real difference in comfort.
