5/27 - 5/28
Around 2:00 on Friday afternoon my office mate Jeff declares, "I'm going home. I'm going to load up my jeep and drive to the coast. I'm going to build a bonfire, get drunk, and then fish all day saturday. Do you want to come?"
So after stopping to buy some fresh shad at the bait shop by the swing bridge, we arrived at the Sargent cut about an hour before dark. I threw plastics in the cut and landed two trout (one was legal). There were some other trout caught but it wasn't that many considering there were about 8 people fishing. We then moved to the surf and built a fire and set the rods out. We didn't catch anything that night but we were noticing a lot of crabs along the water's edge. We walked along the beach and picked up a bunch of nice blue crabs. Around midnight walking became difficult for me so we sat around the fire and drank some more.
On saturday morning I fished with cut shad. Nothing happened for the first 2.5 hours but then it turned on. We caught three bull reds in about 45 minutes.
A guy next to us caught a really nice red but that was all I saw.

There were a ton of baby black tip sharks but no big boys yet.
There was also a lot of old seaweed in close but there wasn't enough current to make fishing difficult.
My friend Jeff eats the hell out of hard heads. He also fishes with double drop N-rigs but don't let that fool you. He is actually a white boy. ha ha.
it really bothers me that you can hear about the prospect of a fishing trip at 2:00 and have your toes in the sand by an hour till sundown....
Hey, I used to live in Bryan too. I haven't forgotten what that drive was like.
It definitely helps to live 1.5 hours closer. I also keep my gear packed up and ready to go at a moments notice.
