i've fished with eric  before... so you can move me to the boaters list.

[Eric]

And I caught about 24 pounds today, and don't want to show thedude how & where to catch them.

[djkimmel]

I'll see what I can do... sounds like the catfish are really biting!!!!

[Cheetam]

I wouldn't brag about fifty 1/2 pounders...

[djkimmel]

Um...?? Wouldn't that be 48 1/2 pounders??? I was actually thinking 72 1/3 pounders!

Darn, looks like Largemouth Fishing for Team Houston and me. Maybe the weather people are wrong!!

[Team houston]

We will be ok.

[Langer]

Looks like its been lowered to only 2-3 foot waves.

I would rather put in at Metro if it got to bad and fish the canals there then go to Kent

[Cheetam]

I just talked with Eric...he hooked the biggest smallmouth he has ever seen this morning...he said it made the 5-10 he caught earlier look small    Too bad it shook off at the side of the boat before they got a net under it...I can't wait til morning!

Metro beach is only a 5 min ride from Harley, so it'll be pretty easy, no matter what kind of weather we have to run over there and fish the canals. 

One piece of advice for everyone... if it's windy, have a drift sock with you so that you fish the rough stuff.  Drifting and dragging will be the easiest way to fish the Mile roads in 3-4 footers.

[dartag]

i am thinking the bar on Jefferson is the best place to be in 3-4 footers.  and i don't drink. going to put my flippin stick in the boat for the canals just in case.

You won't need a flippin' stick.  Unless you plan on throwing some BIG swimbaits for some BIG smallies 

[motocross269]

The Forecast just got better....1-2 footers in the morning building late in the afternoon....

[motocross269]

Now they have small craft advisories for tommorrow!! AGHHH!!! I wish NOAA would make up their minds....I will follow someone to metro...I have been kind of looking forward to that anyway..I better go home and tie some braid on my Pitching stick..

[Skip Johnson]

I was hoping for 25 mph east winds and 2 to 4 fters it gives me a wee bit of an advantage, I think south winds at 25 mph and 2 to 4 fters may just work
