Weatherston's at the Land Cut

Conditions were terrific last Thursday for a fishing trip to the land cut. Not a cloud in the ski and a nice breeze to keep it cool. The winds were coming from the Southeast making the water current just right. Fishing was bound to be good. This trip I had the pleasure of going out with a great friend and his boy's.

Armed with live shrimp we cast our hooks in the water near the shoreline and Travis hooked up a nice 28 1/2 inch redfish. Very nice struggle as the redfish took Travis around the boat before finally landing this bull. He was just barely outside the slot so we released her help keep the estuary in good stock.

This was a new Texas JustGoFishin Trips Record.

Very interesting day as we caught several different kinds of species, redfish, speckled trout, sheepshead, and sand trout on the edible side. We also caught your usual hard head, skip jack, dog fish, and an occasional blue crab refusing to let go of bait. I wonder witch is the hard head? (catfish or crab). Anyway the fish we caught were all made in about 90 minutes as we ran out of bait. Sorry, my bad... rookie mistake. We would have easily caught much more on this day!

Just great fishing with an awesome family... from left to right in pic above: Joshua, David, Travis, and Bryan.

Bouchard's at the Lant Cut

Guy and Amy Bouchard sent this photo in from a recent trip to the Land Cut. Using croaker from Clems Marina they were able to limit out on Speckled Trout.

VX-30 Bloodhounds Fishing Texas Land Cut

The VX-30 Bloodhounds came to Corpus Christi and squeezed in a fishing trip with JustGoFishin. Commander James P Borghardt, Jay Rodriguez and Shane Skopak were on a mission to observe and photograph the entry on the Space Shuttle Endeavour as it entered Earth's atmosphere for the last time on June 1st, 2011. The Bloodhounds landed in Corpus Christi after completing their mission and decided to JustGoFishin.

It was truly an honor to take these young men out fishing for a little R and R for all the great work they do in serving their country and protecting our freedom.  It was great to here there impressions of the how fast the space shuttle was moving as they maneuvered into position to observe Endeavour.



We got together at about 7:00am and headed south to the famous Texas Land Cut in hopes of a good day of fishin. We anchored up and placed some nice live shrimp from Clems Marina on our hooks to see how the day would start.

Jay Rodriguez who had never before gone fishing caught this ugly dog fish right off the bat. Course it's usually a good sign that fish are biting. We hung in there for something more edible.

Jay found a nice speckled trout looking for a quick meal and landed his first "Keeper" speckled trout.



Matt Skopak landed a nice speckled trout. Below he catches the only redfish of the day. turned out to be just short of a keeper. But the fight was fun.

CDR James Borghardt had a great time pulling in some terrific speckled trout. I had no idea the "Borg" was on our vessel... you know... Resistance is futile, at least for these specks.

What a terrific group of guy's working for Uncle Sam and taking a quick break to go fishin. The weather was great and just awesome to be outside catch-in a few fish.
