WHERE DOES THE TIME GO?
The last time I wrote in my blog was in June. That was over 4 months ago and I've done a lot of things in that time, including alot of fishing.

Uno Mas Tournament Pics
Over the past several years Team Uno Mas has participated in a number of tournaments in the LLM. Our team has won a few, but more then that its just been fun to compete with other anglers.
We continue to improve our skills and one day maybe bring home a really BIG PRIZE!
Monsters in the LLM
Monster trout that is! Yesterday as I was hard at work at my COMPUTER
, I got a text from my good friend, David Wood. He sent me a picture of a 32" 11 pounder. I immediately went into hyper shock!
I tried calling him, then called his wife. Her reaction was "he's not supposed to be fishing and I saw that same fish, he probably didn't catch it...just holding it."
Who cares who caught it....I do!
David and one of his new best friends, a PI/SPI guide, name withheld, were prefishing for the AMI Kids Tournament to be held on Saturday. They were fishing potholes on the south side using croakers. Not only did they SECURE a monster trout, but landed a 22' flounder. The 32 was released with hopes of recapture on Saturday. The flounder on the other hand was eaten!
There have been some BIG trout taken up and down the coast this Spring. I don't think it matters if you are throwing hardware or dipping croakers, you gotta be at the right spot at the right time. I've always thought I was in the right spot, but over the past 50 years I must always be there at the wrong time.
Croakers are definitely the way to go for monster trout if you can SECURE them and have the patience ti fish them. Croakers are hard to come by on the lower coast. You've got to have connections with the shrimpers in the Brownsville channel in order to get croakers or travel up to Port Mansfield. They get theirs shipped in from the middle coast. If you can't find croakers, try pinfish or piggy perch. They work well. We've caught lots of good solid trout and mangroves on them in the heat of the summer in deep water.
I also received a picture of a 37" trout supposedly caught at Port Mansfield, that also is a monster. The only problem is its not a real picture. Someone did some work with photoshop! Its not always good to get too excited about MONSTER TROUT....bad for the heart!
By the way, David and his new best friends took 1st place in the AMI Tournament despite the 40 mph winds that blew. They didn't get the 32 again, but did find a 28"!
Congratulations on the win.
Take care!
