Rain, Rain, Go Away, No Stay...No, Go away -- July 7, 2008 by
Bruce W. Shuler (7/07/2008)
[Lower Luguna Madre,TX] As always, unless you live in the deluged Mid-west, you hear residents of rainy conditions say, “Man, we needed the rain.” OK Ma nature you gave us the rain, no please go away. It has rained for the last four days and my new summer tan is fading away to mid-school year pastiness. “Why, why oh god of sun have you forsaken me?” All kidding aside, the rain is good for the bays and the cool temperatures that have accompanied it are a mid-summer Valley relief.
Lake Fork Report & Pics: July 3, 2008 by
Tom Redington (7/03/2008)
[Lake Fork,TX] Bass have settled into their normal summertime patterns on Lake Fork and the fishing is pretty consistent. Grassy points produced some nice bass early and late, while I’m spending most of my days fishing deep structure for schools of big fish. Once we’ve found a school with our graph, it has been pretty easy to catch at least a few of these fish most days.

All Hail, The Return of the King -- June 23, 2008 by
Bruce W. Shuler (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 by
Bruce W. Shuler (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, by
Bruce W. Shuler (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.

Bruce W. Shuler (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?
