Default Big Ugly at the dike!

Any other fisherman in here? That's all I do when I'm not dumping money in my car or riding my dirtbike!

I caught this biggen yesterday evening at the dike on my surf rod using dead, whole crab. Been catching um pretty consistent these past few months. This drum must have been 50lbs! Caught and released..

i need to take my sons fishing, just need to find a spot to go and let them try it out and see what its like. i'm sure they would find it fun even if all they catch is little fish.

Looks like I need to change my fishing hole...

I've been fishing in Lake Houston 3-4 time a week over the past month. Looks like I need to hook up to the Bay Boat and head to Texas City...

Yep the fishing is heating up since the water temp has crept past 70. I've been catching some thick trout at my gf's bayhouse off sportsmans rd. She's got a sweet setup out there with a long pier and big green lights. If ur ever going over the causeway coming into galveston at night and look over to ur right near confederate reef and see some UFO looking green lights, that's where I'm usually fishing! Lol
