Went down to the Texas gulf to Port O'Connor for some fishing. My curse remained. Huge storm and front moved through in the night dropping temps 15 degrees and left us with a wind howling from the north east at 25 mph.

Caught nothing of note from the jetty or pier. Went out with a charter right after the front. Hard fishing. I still got a 27 and a 25 inch red on light tackle as well as some puppy reds and some descent black drum. Came home with several lbs. of fish.

All in all a fun trip, BTW these were my first reds and black drum. I have never caught them before. I was in terrible pain from wrecking my bike and refused to go to doc. Lots of walking and standing. My buddies put up with me being slow and gave me hell the whole time which I appreciate. My hip is looks like I have half a nerf football under my skin and is tight as a drum and hot to the touch. The pain is not bad when not moving but if I activate that muscle, the pain is stunningly bad. Going to doc today. One of my pals never fished salt before and was having a blast catching gafftop and hardheads. But when he hooks a bog black drum that is all he wanted after that. Our other buddy is not a good fisherman. But he managed to boat 1 keeper. We got back to the dock and the guides were all talking about how bad fishing was. They were pumping our guide for info. We made a LONG run in the marshes after spending an hour without a bite close in with the other charters. It was still slow but steady.

Gonna plan another trip in sept or oct.
