Yesterday morning Ray(601) and I decided to try our luck in Copano. He has such a luxury class boat the trip was great, but not so much the fish bite. I did set a water speed record however. My boat will not exceed 40mph on a good day with a tail wind. His big four stroke Suzuki hit 48.6mph without really trying. We went to the west shoreline of Copano first and tried near the duck blinds just before Turtle Pen. We picked up two small trout and moved on to Turtle Pen itself. We tried there with no bite at all. We moved to Shell Point and found one lonesome 17 inch trout and then nothing more there at all. We went to some old gas wells, Lap Reef and Redfish point and still nothing, but we had a great time.
I had some perch left over when we got back and let a friend use them off the crossbridge last evening. He caught one 18.5 inch trout and was happy about that. I've had two poles out there since before daylight, but the crabs seem to beat any game fish to the bait.
