He got a big bull up to the beach last trip that was 9-10’ long but the line broke just before we tailroped him. That’s why he got the bigger reel.
Lol I hear you. I still enjoy my job too so not ready yet. But it’s gonna happen sooner rather than later. You’re right about the market right now though. It’s crazy. If we hadn’t struck when we did a few years back on the retirement places it may have been a whole different story.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Won’t be long you can take them. I want to go to the Keys too. We visited once on a cruise stop but I want to drive the bridge and spend more time there. Not the tourist spots but the more remote areas to fish also. This shark fishing is my BIL’s deal. It’s fun but too much equipment to haul around and too much waiting time for me. I like a little more action.

I like a little more action. Well the snook and tarpon fishing in the keys and everglades is a lot more action. I wade fish then mangrove islands when in the everglades and the guides just can't help themselves warning about the gators. Caught back to back 52" and 54" snook wading waste deep and guide said probably would not have been able to do that on boat or skiff. I'm with you the beach fishing is heavy gear and slow to me too.

Are Black Tips legal in Texas? Yes, and they are delicious. Just ate the last of mine last week, need to go catch some more.

Yessir. But it’s not very far out to the break here.

Yessir. But it’s not very far out to the break here. My last trip, in Alabama, I was dropping a bait for a large sting ray or large fish or something else that might hook into a big hook, I was paddling into some decent surf, I went straight into a wave and the whole dang kayak just flipped end over end on me. Thats how I saw it happen, and thats the story I am sticking to, not sure the video my wife took of this happening shows the exact scenario like that, but her cackling laugh while I was dumped in the water was annoying, but also funny. We landed a couple that trip, nothing big, but we had several hook ups where line broke, hook released, and other frustrations. We had bites nearly every time we dropped bait, but was one of our more memorable unsuccessful trips overall. Makes me want to go back. Fun times for sure, even with the frustrations

I want to go for the reef/wreck fishing most. Would love to try spear fishing.
One of my buddies went tan took a guide for specks and reds in the bay. Sounded like a wasted trip why not do that here.
