Black Monday..
Wife told me she had an office day and could take the kids to school and pick them up. I didn’t have to think twice, I loaded up the truck Sunday night and told the wifey I’m heading down to the beach.
Left San Antonio around 6:00am am. My plan was to get down to the 20mm and start fishing. Talked to Nick Meyer of Breakaway after he finished doing his morning beach report. He reported good conditions with no sign of Red Tide and no new weed. That made my decision easy, save an hour and fish close.
Hit the “Wilson” on the North Sticks around 8:45am and casted my LDX with shrimp and Fish-Bites. Got the rod into the sand spike and before I could get my HDX set up the LDX was bent over. First Black of the day. From that first bite it was non-stop till 11:00am. Had my five Black Drum limit. Rest was catch and release. Finished the day with nine Black Drum..
Got to Fish Pass around 12:30. The water wasn’t as clear as North Sticks, no sign of Red Tide. Current still ripping to the South. Called no joy around 3:00 and left….
Was a great day on the beach…..

P.S. They need to do another sting operation on Bob Hall Beach.
I’m still blind in on eye!!!!

First Cast of the Day..
