Sabine Pass

Thanks Nita for the use of your Skeeter 2200ZXt.
How can a bull red trip be a flop? First off if you are sick with the whogottchaflue stay home. Then with stellar results of Monday afternoon 3 reds, Tuesday morning 2 reds, Tuesday afternoon 3 makes for a long drive with low action. Add a rainy Wednesday drive home. Insert pocket book bending deal on motel(in Orange)gasoline in boat and truck, bait, along with meals and it is very costly for not much action. This is my first, and only, bum trip to Sabine Pass in over 20+ years. It had gone so good for so long, that I was under the impression of just show up and win. Well that ain't the way it is or was. I don't know what the problem is or was but after this trip I will think long and hard before investing three days and $500+ out of pocket expense for a salt trip. That doesn't include wear and tear on the truck, boat and equipment.
Here are photos of the trip, with Kirk Bailey, Doug Hughes, and myself.

I don't know how I got the attached image, guess I gave my computer my virus.

Just one of the many reason I don't do salt water. I'll fish it if I have a job on the coast, but I don't seek it out.
Big fish are fun, but salt water does too much damage and I've rarely heard of an inexpensive trip.
I'll stick to fresh water fishing, thank you!

But, on the plus side ... those are some pretty Reds!

[dan_wrider]

Some nice 1's for sure. Wouldn't call that a flop but probably hard to enjoy if you're under the weather.

[SKsCrappie]

Oooohhhhh yeah.... I'll bet even though you were coughing & sneezing you still enjoyed every bit of the pulls those BIG'UNS gave....WTG

Oh yeah. Love them big reds.

A lot better than being skunked.

You are correct on salty trips are pretty costly.

That’s for the pics buddy. I’ve had some pics attach like that as well. I don’t think it’s a computer virus

[Gentleben]

Personally id say yll did pretty good compared to my fishing trips :DancingChicken:thanks for sharing !!
when i go salt water fishing i look at it as a way to get salty and a good tan , yes i do tan :flehan:

[jackiekennedyfishingguide.com]

Well I'm rested up and haired up and healed over and thinking of giving the salt one mo try, this year. Maybe sooner than later.

[AthensMike]

That's the attitude JK. The photos are great.

[vett0111]

Good to hear Jackie. Big reds are calling your name.

Them big reds are addicting.

[Gentleben]

Many things can happen while you fishing or traveling over the water so it always pays great dividens to wear them .

[dan_wrider]

More smiles in this set of pics. I'm guessing they were biting better. LOL, Ben. Does kinda look like Clint.

[SKsCrappie]

Nice catchn....
That 2nd to tha last one look like it got tha mange.....:scratchhead:

[AthensMike]

Great photos.
Clint would have a S&W 44 mag in a shoulder holster. Just in case.

[vett0111]

Wow. Great job.

Glad you are having a better trip.

[jackiekennedyfishingguide.com]

Not Clint but Luke McKinney and can hold his own with anyone and I do mean anyone, but that is another story.
Yesterday two half day trips 7-11 AM and 1-3:30 PM produced 14 and when on salt water anything can happen so I wear a life vest.

but this motel in Orange was $271 for two nights and that is a dab out of my budget.

[mikechell]

Still, hotel not considered ... good trip. Great pictures of some arm bruising fish.

[vett0111]

Heck yeah. Awesome trip

If it wasn't so far and so expensive I'd go back but it's hard for me to go for less than 500, I'd be a salt water prostitute if I lived closer.
