First trip 2023 Cooking whatever I catch | Texas City Flood Gate (S6 E45)
Happy New Year everyone! Let's get our 2023 season off to a good start by cooking whatever we catch. Today we're bank fishing the Moses Lake / Texas City Flood Gate. There have been some massive saltwater monsters caught at this popular Galveston Bay location, I hope we get lucky today!

Hello Mark! Great footage as always! I caught one of the biggest trout of MY life, was along that shore line before the flood gates. 8.5 lbs on an early morning topwater! What a memory!!

Awesome fish! I like to also cut the throats out to make buffalo wings. Fry them and use buffalo wing sauce. Katies restaurant has the snapper throats with buffalo sauce. Cheeks are also good if they are big enough.

It’s a different ball game from the bank.
Years ago someone taught me how to use a piece of metal clothes hanger as a weight. It helped not get snagged in rock like that. It worked well and it is cheap. You make it by cutting a straight piece about 12” long and bend an eye on one end. Then you fish it like a drop shot. The long metal slides in and out of rock with less chance of getting wedged into the rock.

I fish there occasionally. It's absolutely insane prefrontal with an outgoing tide. Try casting across to the slack water on the opposite side.

Im born and raised Texan so I have the right to say. I don't know what's wrong with some people (not you) to throw their trash and litter down. I know when I go to Colorado its mostly clean and litter free. Texas is a nice place people should pick up after their selves. Again not talking about you. Nice cook on the grill!

Colorado ok in spots. Others are absolutely terrible. Go fishing at a city area lake and the garbage can be horrendous. I am from the mountains and you rarely ever see garbage up there. You go somewhere let's say like Grand Junction where I was last several years an fish in town lakes and it's straight trash everywhere. I end up cleaning up after people whenever I go.

Don't worry. You not alone. California or around the Bay area it's the same thing. That's one of the reasons I never let people know where I fish. Places I fish if you know you know.

Kinda like a tandem rig. Weight on bottom and shrimp up top.

The only problem with this area is the fish consumption advisory. The fish are polluted with dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyl, and probably mercury. Persons should not consume blue crabs or any species of fish from these waters. Children under 12 and women of childbearing age should not consume spotted seatrout, blue crabs or any catfish species from this area. A great place for catch and release though. Great video!
