I had never fished this spot before so I didn\u2019t know what to expect. On top of that the Sunlunar calendar (yes that is a real thing) said today would not be a good day for fishing. But it was. I caught them early and often. I was trying out a new rod. It\u2019s a strange looking thing about as long as my arm, it\u2019s called an EMMROD. It took some getting used to but I caught some fish with it.<\/p>\n<table width=\"874\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"427\">\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/-IYmvfcBwkVE\/UD0UDh4vjWI\/AAAAAAAAEp4\/fM0n7g3rJSw\/s710\/Picture_2012-08-26_121445.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"Picture_2012-08-26_121445[1]\" src=\"http:\/\/thechristys.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Picture_20120826_1214451_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Picture_2012-08-26_121445[1]\" width=\"277\" height=\"363\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"445\">\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/-7Kv8MGkIYzw\/UD0T7IUHHEI\/AAAAAAAAEp8\/Btm8IEJsSw0\/s711\/Picture_2012-08-26_093458.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"Picture_2012-08-26_093458[1]\" src=\"http:\/\/thechristys.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Picture_20120826_0934581_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Picture_2012-08-26_093458[1]\" width=\"276\" height=\"362\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"427\">\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-pzD0k1J5ji8\/UD0T-yFJ0FI\/AAAAAAAAEpw\/Pg5NWpWi-mg\/s711\/Picture_2012-08-26_094320.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"Picture_2012-08-26_094254[1]\" src=\"http:\/\/thechristys.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Picture_20120826_0942541_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Picture_2012-08-26_094254[1]\" width=\"279\" height=\"359\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" width=\"445\">\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/-lsyO7MB348w\/UD0UEFzzPuI\/AAAAAAAAEp0\/jHhaNa8H5Zk\/s711\/Picture_2012-08-26_112549.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline; border: 0px;\" title=\"Picture_2012-08-26_112549[1]\" src=\"http:\/\/thechristys.net\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Picture_20120826_1125491_thumb.jpg\" alt=\"Picture_2012-08-26_112549[1]\" width=\"275\" height=\"361\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>While I was out there, I ran into a couple of fellow TKF (Texas Kayak Fishermen) members, they were very friendly as usual and were pulling a stringer with one large redfish on the end. I have found kayakers to be extremely friendly here in Texas. Maybe it comes from sitting in those little plastic boats in that big ocean. By the time I headed back to the truck, I had landed a Texas slam (redfish, trout and flounder) all the fish were caught on Gulp shrimp under a popping cork.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past weekend, I was lucky enough to go fishing down in Galveston Bay.
