2020 Fishing: Get out there and wet some hooks

That’s a hell of a gift. Sounds badass.

He is thoroughly kicking my ass so far. I did catch a tagged bonefish yesterday, which is kind of cool.

Curious how you got the passport situation sorted out?
 

(I believe you were the one whose kid was lacking a passport)

Flew to Phoenix and drove to the western passport center in Tucson, then flew home the next day. The most “first world problem” I’ve ever had to solve.

“You’re going fishing and you’re gonna have fun goddammit!  I pulled a poor mans cannonball run for this fucking passport. ARI-GODDAMNED-ZONA son!”

Honestly, the passport trip was just part of the adventure. We’ve had a great time. Sitting in the Western Air “terminal” at the San Andros airport now waiting on our puddle jumper back to Nassau. Caught fish every day, including some double ups. Got one shot at some rolling Tarpon in Stafford Creek, and ended with the same number of fish (but he smoked me on total weight).

any guide recommendations for out of state guests wanting to go fishing in Rockport in late June?

First 2 weeks seems to be the best chance every year. Certainly for trout, gotta get one weighed when they are still a little bit pudgy. 

[Mac8111 2105]

True. But no trout category this year.

Good.  I don’t think I’ve signed up for the Star in 5 years.   One day I’ll end up catching a tagged red and will deserve every bit of what comes from that.

Make sure you release the red after you take the tag, no matter his condition.  You will be asked that question on the polygraph.

I assume they poly at a later date, unlike a typical tournament?   Keep in mind, alcohol will usually DQ you from your poly. That obv matters more on day of tourney polygraphs.
