Man for those who didn't come down ya'll have missed a good time. We sat out this evening and grilled all sorts of goodies from frog legs to redfish to kabobs, to Drundel's Lucky Charms Trout. Some pitched washers, everyone drank beer and it was downright pleasant. TM's condo is about 20' behind the sand dunes so you can walk right over to the beach. It was real nice. We even had a Yeti sighting.

Three boats fished today with two fishing East and one West. The two boats that went east caught a couple trout and a couple reds. Drake224, Drundel, Toledo Mike and one more went West and found some redfish, they ended up with 7 reds 2 trout and a flounder. Drake said he'd have had an easy boat limit of reds if he had some help. Drundel actually did catch a fish. Must have been one of those fish that rides the short bus to school, but it was a fish nonetheless.

Gotta get to bed, we are hitting it early in the morning.

Conditions were tough this morning, 25-30 mph wind. Rough crossing the bay, especially for the guys in the aluminum boats.

We ended up with 20 trout and a red. Cbass, ETMD and I walked into a bunch of fish early and had a blast with an abundance of 18-19" reds. Cbass strung a couple trout and I lost two good fish, I was snakebit for a couple hours, lost fish after fish. We went back to the boats for a drink and Drake224 was on his way back to his boat to get a drink when he walked into a slick and some trout. So we baled out to join him and everyone caught a bunch of trout, just had a lot of undersized fish. Scratched out some keepers and headed home.

Got back just in time to enjoy some awsome fried fish. Ol Medulla can fry fish, I'm telling you. Maybe it was from being hungry cause we had just got off the water, maybe it was because I didn't have to mess with cooking it myself, whatever it was that was the best fish I have had in a long time. We put a hurting on it.

We are going to make a quick trip in the morning since they have to be out of the condo by noon.

How were the crowds CD? Sure wish I could've joined ya'll, but the wife was sure pleased I stayed home. Looks like ya'll had a good time!

Atleast I made the most of it and ran jugs close to home over the weekend... and finally put a big op in the boat! Put a 40 pounder in the boat, plus another yeller at 9.5, and around 25 or 30 blues with the biggest only about 5 lbs.

I got to meet some real good guys this weekend. I met the Yeti, Diehardducker, Medulla, gigem05, and Jager, all super nice guys and I am glad I got to meet them.

Rebsbud, Mrs. Kevorkian (Mrs. Rebsbud), East Texas Mud Duck, Mrs ETMD, ETMD's boys, Toledo Mike, Cbass, Drundel, Drake224, Jager's womens( he had two drive up from the Valley, something about needing Jager's kabob) and TM's parole officer were also all in attendance. Pretty good crew.

I think a few innocent cases of beer were killed, I know enough food to feed an army was prepared and the locals were terrorized by Toledo Mike. Poor girls will never be the same.

The only thing safe from that crew was the fish.

Yup, fought the wind and the trailer all weekend. We caught some decent fish Saturday and the boys put an absolute ass whuppin on the flounder yesterday (two limits). Then got up this morning and it was DEAD CALM. There were no crowds to speak of all weekend, like MaTA, a normal high wind weekend, but today was like a WEEKDAY. There were maybe ten trailers at Bastrop Marina. But we got the "pearl" out of the slip and up on her newly rebuilt trailer (new axle, springs rollers, pretty much everything but the frame).

Sure glad to hear y'all did some good!

All in all, Mrs. Rebsbud and myself had a blast. She said she could have done without the window breaking, and I could have done with a little less wind, but everything else was great. It was good to meet some more 'fugers, as always. I got to meet Drake 224, Jager, CBass, Txblklabman, giggem05, Medulla, DieHardDucker, WetnCold,and BenelliDave for the first time and got to see some of the old gang of Coastal Ducks & family, Toledo Mike, EastTxMudDuck & family and Drundel. I think that is everyone, besides the special guest who appeared. Sure was disappointed when it wasn't Leeann Rimes. I took the white boots back and exchanged them for a couple SheDogs.

I want to say a special thanks to Toledo Mike for setting up the condo and taking care of all those arrangements.

Also, special thanks to Medulla for bringing his boat along and hauling me around. Plus thanks for the great breakfast tacos and wonderful fried fish. I hate catfish usually, but not this he cooked. He fried it light gold, just like it should be. Your a great cook, for sure. Sorry I didn't get to say so long this morning.

And a super special thanks to Ali, Dyer and Doug for taking care of Sherri through her accident. Once again, when bad things happen, fellow 'fugers came through and compassionately took care of business. I can't thank ya'll enough.

We hope to see all ya'll again soon.
