Thread: This trip of mine to the coast is just getting better and better

Take pictures, you know we like seeing pictures dondon. It's cold up here, so we need to see what the good life looks like in the warm weather. We don't care that the fish are not crappie, we'll photoshop them.

Will do Slab. Gonna be fun catching some of those 4 to 5 lb speckeled trout and HOPEFULLY a few redfish in the 8-10 lb range

One thing I really wanna do it go out the the bay Bridge and try and get Nessa on a couple of those 40-50 pound Black Drum. Can't eat em but man what a fight. I just picked up a couple of medium heavy rods with a fast action and rigged them with 20 lb power pro braid so we'll be fishing with Clubs for those things. Fish on the bottom with a shrimp and when they bite, HOLD ON. LOVE to put her on her biggest fish ever. She caught a 24 lb Striped Bass 4 years ago at Lake Quachita and she tried to had me the rod after bout 10 minutes of fighting it. NOPE, I didn't take it, made her fight that fish. Girl was wore out by the time she got it in. LOL

How did the bird turn out.....Chef Boy R DD!!!!

You need to take some video of that!

OMG man, it was fineeeeee. Pics didn't turn out. Brined for 36 hours, Injected with creole butter and let to rest for 3-4 more hours. Them backbone cut out and butterflied and grilled offset at 350-400 for about 3 hours. Pulled it at an Internal temp of 160 in the breast. Got a sammich for lunch today!!!

Good Idea Scott. Have to clean out some pics to do it though. I took pics with my phone of other folks pictures on the net that were holding up some big fish. Mainly looked for pics that had monuments in the background so I can find those same spots now. LOL Did that and took pics of google earth of how to get into some of these backwater sloughs so I can get back up in there

What do you mean you can't eat the Black Drum, Red fish is just a red one. Cook them on the grill on the half shell with smoke and that's some fine eating.
