Buddy and I got my boat out for the first time this season, and hit Rockport a little late, fishing by 0930....sometimes unplanned events in your life force you to change tactics, times, or even the event itself.....so I just welcome any time to get out, and fully appreciate any time I can spend on the water....Nice day on the water...lite winds kept the heat at bay, and just a mild chop on the surface....Nothing doing toward the So. end, and then turning and heading toward the dam, we began 'seeing' fish just passing the Marina again...buddy finally had a hit - and miss - there at about 12', so that's what I tuned my D.R. line and planer line to be at....I started getting hits, planer board Rapala and D.R. chartreuse Flashassin, both getting me 2 nicer 'bows, 15 to 16"....my buddy also ended up with a couple nicer ones, and we each lost a couple....bite really slowed down by 1100, but by then 'our spot' was now covered by 6 or 7 other boats....good, fast action while it lasted, especially when the solunar charts said the day was a poor fishing day....Just go when you can, take someone if you can, and enjoy all there is to our sport....and Guluk...
