Rita and Marv are enjoying their monthly stay in 307. Marv sent this story about his latest fishing adventure.

Larry, I had one of the most enjoyable and productive fishing trips Monday, October 19th. Our guest Gene, and I met guide Dave Posey at Cove Harbor at 7:30 AM and headed south to the flats. By noon, using piggy perch, we had one keeper red and about 5 trout while covering the area up to and into Red Fish Bay. After lunch, we drifted in the flats, generally in the vast areas between Traylor Island and the carbon black plant and by 2:00 PM had boxed our limit of reds and 8 trout and were out of bait. As in previously guided trips, my stamina had begun to wane about this time and we would have called off fishing. Dave said if we were interested in continuing fishing, he would get some more bait.
This prompted a new source of energy and an offer we couldn't refuse. After replenishing our bait, we returned to drifting in our 'Honey Hole'. By 4:00 PM we called it quits after again using up our bait. Our tally was 6 reds and 10 trout while releasing at least 2 limits of legal size reds and many undersized.
We used the guide’s equipment and he had the drag set awful low so you can imagine the time it took to boat the fish. Several times we had 'doubles' keeping the guide busy.
I have fished these waters for the past 17 years and I have never seen or caught this many reds. It appears the efforts of CCA and the Texas Parks & Wildlife are paying off.
