Scott and his family had a good day offshore on Saturday. The conditions were about perfect. I had put my perch trap out on Friday evening and we had about twenty perch by morning. The red snapper were eager to get a bite of these perch. I did put the trap out the rest of the weekend and only two perch showed up.
Several good catches of trout and reds were brought in by other guests.
My friend Joe Fischer caught a very large gar in the mitigation site last evening. It was too big to net and eventually broke the line. This could well be the big fish that I battled last week.

There was some work done last week on repairing the breakwater. The barge is still in the marina. A large barge ran aground on Tin Can Reef last week. He had cut the corner coming out of Copano too close. It took about an hour to dislodge the barge.
Randy(308) took his grandson(Colson) out to Paul's Mott on Sunday evening. They were able to catch two keeper trout using dead shrimp. They went with guide, Chad Verburgt, this morning. They went all over the area near Aransas Pass and did not get a keeper anything. They will get a half price trip next time since Chad could not put them on fish today.
