Port Aransas Redfishing
Mar 24th, 2009 by jason
It’s been a long time, but last summer when Meena and I were back in the States, some of the best time back was with my Dad and my brother Brian fishing for redfish off the jetties at Port Aransas, Texas. In one word: awesome! Our family has been doing fishing and hunting trips since before I can remember, and this was as much fun as when I was a kid. In fact, both Brian and I both were laughing like little boys when we hauled one of those beasts in.
In the afternoon, we would walk out on the jetty for about a mile, then set up shop. We caught our bait fish off the side of the rocks, and then used them to reel in a total of three 30 lb. redfish. Even at the end of the 10ft rods we were using, it felt like fighting a bear at the end! 15 minutes of adreneline rush, then gasping for your breath while you pose for a photo. It was such a great time with my Dad and Brian and really just made my summer.
That’s #1 thing I’m going to miss about Florida. Redfishing in a kayak with a buddy of mine. Dolphins, Manatees, Gators, and redfish that towed your kayak around when you hooked one. Good times . . .
