This Midday Summertime Trout Tactic Works! - Port Aransas, TX

[@ILLBEDRONED]

Bill Dance hook set, he always said you have the most power right at your chest, like opening a jar of mayonnaise 😂 Croc spots, never had them lol. Always fun hanging with the fam on the boat! Won't be no time, Hannah will be out there catching! Tight lines brother!! Been following Wes' channel for years, awesome fisherman 💪😎

[@fishing4dinner]

@@ILLBEDRONED Thanks for your support brother DanO! Bill wasn’t lying!! He could catch fish on those private stocked ponds with the best of em LOL!! Bill Dance is almost as legendary as Wes 😎 Saturday mornings with Dad watchin Bill Dance, Hank Parker, Orlando Wilson, Roland Martin…all the guys. Man what great memories. I gotta admit tho…when Al Linder and his Lund fishin boat came on it was time for me to go outside n play….not a fan haha. The best memories made were when Dad “taped” the shows cuz we were out on the boat fishin ourselves. Take care bro. Hope your rib doing better and you have a fantastic weekend 👊🏼

[@ILLBEDRONED]

@fishing4dinner loved Al and Ron Linder too! The rib is slow healing, but my bone scan was negative. Great news, thanks for the prayers Marc!! 🙏

[@MinuteontheMountain]

Nice catches, brother. Great to see you out enjoying it with the family.

[@fishing4dinner]

Thanks John! These fish are coming out ready for tartar sauce if they stay up on the flat in that hot water. Gotta be ready to change presentations and move into the deeper channels. Down here we can’t fish “spots” we have to fish conditions and those change daily. Tide, weather, water clarity/temp etc play so many factors into where the fish may be. Hope y’all have a great weekend.

[@bigcatchfishingmississippi]

Man, watching your videos makes me want to go to the coast!! About a 3 hour drive for me. Loved it!!

[@fishing4dinner]

Do it!! Drive a little farther south and ride w us haha

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

Finding cooler water paid off. That pier was a nice spit. At least no one was pinched by crabs, it had no pinchers! Good day, folks.

[@fishing4dinner]

@@DpuckFishingandOutdoors Thanks Dpuck! That crab was booking it for the deeper cooler water - trying to tell us something haha. Midsummer days down here in Texas get ‘reel’ hot on the flats which are less than 2’ deep - the trick is to find the guts and boat channels where the 5-7’ water is. That’s where the fresher/cooler water is more concentrated from the tide changes. Texas just narrowed our slot limit and took away 2 from from our daily limit. We weren’t playing for keeps that day but if we were, we’d have filled the box! Was 5 fish 15-25” & could keep one over 25. As of spring 2024 it’s now 3 fish 15-20” but can keep 1 over 30”….crazy shtuff. As long as they limit the sharks and dolphins I don’t care what the limit is 😎

[@izzyssaltlife]

Nice day of fishing !

[@fishing4dinner]

@@izzyssaltlife thanks Izzy! When it’s mama and Carson onboard we gotta have da skrimpz. Personally I prefer throwin lures but it’s too slow for them I reckon we need to load up and head farther south n chase them big’ns w you. That south Texas water sure makes for better video too 😎

[@RM.Adventures_]

good stuff bro.. enjoying all the content... can't wait for you to wear those boots in the next video 😛

[@fishing4dinner]

@@RM.Adventures_ I might even tuck my bluejeans into em 😎 Thanks Ramiro!

[@honeyholehuntersfishing]

You guys got a few nice ones, beautiful looking fish! 👍👊

[@fishing4dinner]

@@honeyholehuntersfishing appreciate that! We fish conditions rather than “spots” down on the Texas coast, tide, water temp, current……so many factors. Those conditions quickly turned that location into a “honey hole” 😉

[@JUANORQUIO]

WoW! That’s Incredibly Awesome! Have A Lovely Weekend! Cheers!🥂🤩❤️✨

[@HenriVineFishing]

Well done on those nice trout. It's a bummer the gopro was off... that happens to me also, lol! Nice fishing session with the family.

[@fishing4dinner]

@@HenriVineFishing Yooo thanks Henri! Moved to GP from another brand for at Christmas time and I love it….zero regrets. Only issue I’m having is learning when it’s recording and not. After this trip I enabled the beeps so hopefully that’ll help. I always kept the beeps disabled on the other brand and had a little systematic routine…just gotta create new muscle memory is all. Man our bay system down here is so shallow (1-2’) so the water gets super hot in the summer! The secret is fishin the deeper channels and boat lanes where the tide is bringing in cooler water from the gulf 🤙🏼😎🤙🏼

[@bogolyskeepingitreel]

White rubber boots 👍 Definitely a great point to check your line n re-tie. I see it all the time with fishermen’s line breaking after catching several. Nice job of finding the trout! Neuralyzer 😂 wait…..I forgot what I was doing 🤣. Great video Marc👊

[@fishing4dinner]

@@bogolyskeepingitreel Thanks Chris! Checking line and knots is too easy to neglect, although hard to do when they’re biting like chow dogs. When these specs are schooling it’s almost every cast a fish and ya gotta keep em fed or they’ll move on. Live shrimp catches all of em but when we target the bigger girls (20-30”) we’ll tie on baitfish lures. The live bait guys hook on a croaker although I don’t care much to fish w them

[@tommytsadventures]

Carson with the "This one's for you Darcey", call out LOL! The catfish queen. Bill Dance is hilarious. I used to watch his show back then. I have an Olukai tan line on my feet. That's all I wear 99% of the time. Nice trouts!

[@fishing4dinner]

@@tommytsadventures haha thanks Tommy! I got a kick outta that too I haven’t tried olukai flops yet. I’ve had reefs for 15 years or more so I have a similar white V stripe atop my feet. Have some olukai boat shoes for the casual thing n man those are soooo comfy. This is an infamous spot in our area. When the fish are there, they’re stacked….when they’re gone, it’s crickets.

[@WesLovelace]

Be glad you still have trout there Marc....That fishery has been destroyed in Florida!! You mentioned the water temp being too high.....I'm having to fish only spring fed creeks where the water temp is below 85 degrees otherwise I'd be getting skunked in all the traveling I've been doing!!😎

[@fishing4dinner]

@@WesLovelace our flats waaay over 90 in the heat of the day. WOOF! A few jets and we’d have a saltwater hot tub. Only thing on the flats in the middle of the day are hardhead catfish n hardheaded fishermen

[@girlfinfishing]

Those speckled trout are on my bucket list. Looks like a great day of fishing. NEW SUB! 😎

[@fishing4dinner]

@@girlfinfishing Welcome aboard! Often times these box size trout school up so if you keep em fed they’ll hang around and it’s almost every cast. 2much fun!

[@JumbleTronChannel]

Pretty productive for a quick outing while the baby is napping. Seriously, that's awesome. Those big trout know when the camera is off🤣 Thanks for taking us along on another adventure!

[@fishing4dinner]

@@JumbleTronChannel Thanks Ryan! When da baby goes down we hafta get out there every chance we have a sitter. Live shrimp are hard to beat. Personally like throwin baitfish lures and catchin the big girls but when the fam is onboard, live skrimpz are on the menu….everything eats shrimp!

[@JumbleTronChannel]

@@fishing4dinner Always had trouble with the live ones, but we were surf fishing. Frozen "stinky" shrimp were a hit with almost everything. I've seen another guy tear it up like you with both the live shrimp and the voodoo shrimp. I'm not much of a bait guy either to be honest. I need to be doing something!

[@fishing4dinner]

@@JumbleTronChannel dead shrimp here catches a lot of catfish so we tend to stay away…although it is cheap and don’t hafta struggle keeping them alive lol….our hot summer time water kills live shrimp quick if you don’t keep the recirc pump running

[@JumbleTronChannel]

@@fishing4dinner Yeah... We were trying to keep them going in a very stagnant and hot piece of water that rarely got fed by the tide. Might as well have thrown them in the freezer by the end of the day🤣

[@BlueLines50]

Another great family adventure my friend 👍 beautiful fish send them down my way haha. What website did you find that chest mount for the GoPro looks very durable

[@fishing4dinner]

@@BlueLines50 Thanks Rey! I told em after I released em to pass it on and head down south. The secret was finding a little deeper water that had some current to it and then the structure. Perfect school for keepers…while we are #fishing4dinner we weren’t fishing for dinner that day. Haha Mount is a sametop. They sell two, it’s the slightly more expensive one. Still around $20 on Amazon I believe

[@DCOutdoors]

Hey Marc, bummer your camera was off. That happens with me a lot with the action cam. It's not as easy to yell when/if it's recording until you get home and edit footage. Nice video! A lot of fun and good action. I love my Crocks... haha, Crock Circles... 😄

[@fishing4dinner]

@@DCOutdoors for sure, this was 100% user error. Some of it was camera not recording, other half because I deleted a TON of footage. We had an incredible day offshore catching red snapper and after several hours spent on the edit, I deleted ALLLLLL the files from that vid AND everything I’ve filmed in the last year or so. What a dope! Lesson learned - have a back up for the back up!
