Fishing Reports by Captain Bruce W. Shuler
All Hail, The Return of the King -- June 23, 2008 (6/23/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] Time to roll out the red carpet and bow to the return of the Silver King. While I was away playing in the Louisiana backwaters, dad was busy paying homage to the large scaled silver one. The king has returned with his entourage and Captain Pete and dad were there to greet them by jumping ten fish and landing three. Captain Pete landed his first tarpon that estimated to go around 85-pounds.

What Time is IT...? -- June 11, 2008 (6/12/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] The old answer would have been Tool Time and just like old Tool Man Taylor Ma Nature has decided to kick things up a notch with the old wind tunnel. I was fishing with new friends the Little Tuna and Ted Lund and the old lady buffered us with the best of the Binford 5000. UUHHHUHHHUHHHHH. And, although I feel like my ears are still ringing and I am leaning slightly forward on the balls of my feet from the constant buffering from behind, the fish are on.

Electrical Fires, Wind, Offline, Trout, Wind -- June 5, (6/06/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] Thank goodness, server rooms are airtight. If not, the winds this week would have created a spreading forest fire larger than the mind can imagine. We are sorry we have been offline since Monday. I know I have missed a number of important emails and I am sure dad has too. If you have emailed and we did not answer, simple answer is we had no access.

Trout, Trout, and Silver King Sightings -- May 21,2008 (5/22/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] Fishing 12 out of the last 15 days with clients’: Catch and releasing before 10:00 AM, how could it get any better? Just as my previous reports asked: Are the numbers of 17” to 20” trout we are catching due to the regulation change last Sept. or a seasonal anomaly?

Here Come The Tarpon (5/10/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] Sorry for the late report, but fishing everyday this old FART just doesn’t feel like sitting on keyboard at the end of the day. The attached photo has been lost for a long time but I just recently found it and thought it was a shame not to share it with other fishermen.

Fisheries Imrpovement or Rose-Colored Glasses (4/29/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] We are consistently catching good numbers of 16” to 22” trout daily: is this a result of our 5 fish bag limit started last Year?

Excuse Me...We Have an Announcement -- April 15, 2008 (4/16/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] Mix a few friends, some great fellowship, and awesome fishing and what do you get? Quite a few oversized reds and one awesome twenty-eight inch trout. We recently hosted the Friendswood Fishers of Men Chapter from Houston, one of our tamer groups in the lodge but little devils on the water.

Harvey-Cleary Goes Large Trout and reds -- April 4, 2008 (4/07/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] The old spinster, Ma Nature, decided to turn a cool, temperamental shoulder our way Saturday morning. Luckily, her cool breezy attitude gave way to a warm and sunny countenance that awarded us a beautiful, fish filled afternoon�she even gave us the opportunity to do some of the best sight fishing of the early season.

Aggies and Big Fish; Statement or Oxymoron? (3/31/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] We hosted a bachelor party for 1ST. LT. Stephen just returned from serving our Country in Iraq. Thanks Lt. He and all his buddies, who by the way were Aggie's, let it be known despite them being Aggie's they CAN FISH. Now to say his deployment took away from his fish catching ability would be lying. Ten minutes into our first wade of the day he set the bar for his buddies, Father and Father-in-law by catching a 29 inch and 7 ¼# Big Girl.

Wind...Wind...Wind -- March 19, 2008 (3/20/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] We continue to catch 25 inch plus trout, but with Spring Break on us look for the traffic to move the larger trout from the shorelines and out a little deeper. Returning last Wed. I was able to get in 4 days on the water before the WIND FANS started!!!!!

Non fishing report! OR Humble pie! (3/10/2007)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] After a few photos and moving another 20 feet Capt. Ted bows up on a 29” weighing in at 7 ¼#, at this point I was still feeling petty good

[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] Prior to last Wed. we have been on the water rain, actual sleet and cold chasing the BIG GIRLS. When it’s on it’s ON!!! Stats for last week before I left to go hunting:

Hunting! Cool Weather and BIG TROUT (11/29/2006)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] Cool weather and BIG Trout! Looks like we will get a REAL BLAST Thursday and this should be the front that puts them in the winter time patterns.
