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!!

    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.

    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.

    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!
