HaHa I hear ya. Is it wrong to tell you that we keep the newsgroup
articles for 6 months? Just in case you wanted a better way of
reading them.

Friend of mine and I went wade fishing weekend before last. I caught
my
first keeper spec and keeper red on live shrimp (no particular
manufacturer
but one day the shrimp were from Corpus and one day the shrimp were
from
Galveston). I'd complain that Ernie's Too raised their price to
$16/qt but I
wouldn't want to plug them or how good their hot burgers are mid-day
between
cold water wading shifts.

Didn't catch much on artificials but I guess I can't say we were
using
sal****er assassins.

Or that we were wade fishing off a SeeDoo jet ski. Or that I was
using new
Shakespeare gear and by not using Stren braided line, I caught
1/10th of
what my friend caught. However, I was glad to use my new stringer
but I
probably shouldn't mention that I bought it at Wal-Mart.

We were close to San Luis Pass (though for non-commercial reasons I
won't
get you any closer by saying where we were in relation to the pier
since the
pier charges money to get in).

Actually, since we are going back out this weekend, I really can't
say where
exactly we were because the buddy with the boat would toss me off
the back
end of the jet ski (again) for telling :)

Is it commercialisation to mention Ernie's Too? How else would a
fisherman
know where to buy bait or that the price had gone up?

Hmmm...

Good fishing, all!

Good reading and yes, I suspected you had your tongue planted firmly in
cheek, but I kinda agree with the spamcops, I could care less what somebody
is selling, if they come here and the ONLY reason they post is to promote
something they will profit from, screw 'em, let 'em buy advertising
somewhere, I don't want to read it here. But it sounded like a pretty cool
fishing trip, never fished off a jetski, but I'd like to try sometime.
As far as finding old posts, use Google and search the groups thru there,
you can find anything.

And to keep this somewhat on topic, I went to a trout tourney Saturday,
opening day, with my kids, shoulder-to-shoulder fishing, caught nothing, if
that was what fishing was like, I'd never want to do it......went to our
local reservoir yesterday and caught bluegill till we'd had enough, then
went home. That was more like it. A few more measly degrees in the ocean
water, and my striped friends will be back. WooHoo!
