Amen, most powerboaters, kayakers, waders and fishermen alike show respect for the outdoors. I fish the same area and know exactly where Fil did the cleanup thanks brother. This specific spot is frequented by a couple small groups of powerboaters that beach their ship and bank fish. There will be just as much trash in that exact spot the next time one of the groups show up at it. It’s a shame. (corpusfishing.com)

While you just know that deep inside, Hebert could like to see one of the customers that have supported his business win every hour, he could at the least like to see someone fishing in any ship win. Such wasn’t to be, but, on a beautiful day better served for picnicking or drying clothes outdoors. Much to the chagrin of the eighty-two other contestants that endured a long windy day on the water, Mike Zumwalt of Rose City caught a 4. 39- pound speck to easily deal big fish honors and never ventured off dry land.

We had a couple last-minute back-outs, so the kayak armada was little thinner than what we projected but we still had five fervent fishermen out there before the sun rose on a cold, calm autumn morning. We had a diverse group that included two old ‘seasoned’ may be the politically correct term anglers, Greg and Rick, and three of us young’ns, Jason, Chase and myself. The day started a little slow although we saw single fish everywhere. The redfish were slurping shrimp off the surface all around us but unless you place the cast on the exact spot you were not to get bit. As the sun reach a higher altitude we noticed the water was amazingly clear for the area. (castingtales.wordpress.com)
