Captain Bradley Borreaux and I set out a second time, for the Illusive Snook in the Brownsville Ship Channel in Texas. This is the Southern most section of the state of Texas.
We used crank bait hard plastics to catch fish in and around the structure along the ship docking stations, back cuts and pilings. We were looking for some real Rod Bending Action today………….Big Snook.
We fished all around structure. In fact, LeeRoy Gonzales from LG Outfitters was on board with us to help us position the boat tight in the structure. He manned the trolling motor and kept us in the strike zone………Thanks LeeRoy.
Anglers Note:
Our goal was to catch a big Snook. These fish are predominately a Florida fish but they have been known to occupy these waters in South Texas.
We worked hard and kept moving. Finally, I casted the crank bait close to the metal structure that was an old docking station and he tried to take the rod from me. I ran down the side of the boat from the stern to the bow and LeeRoy cranked the MinnKota to full speed and we got away from the structure as quick as we could. These big Snook are strong and they will head for cover which for us… means break-offs. It was a truly awesome team effort to land this fish. We released the fish to, fight another day.
We shot this trip on tape for Television, Tony D, our main cameraman captured the entire trip. Check out our website for the date and station it will air.
Thanks for your time today, and we’ll see you on the water.
Dave
