The damn flats are so big you can drift with the wind for an hour or so.  Ideal time of year(ie no wind) is also a great time for reds on the flats.  Now until late August, get yer butt out of bed before the wind.


Heh, JUST like that :D

Thanks for the info!

Love that song "Deep Ellum Blues" by the Grateful Dead. (I know they didn't write it)

Well if you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your shoes )
Women in Deep Elem got them Deep Elem blues
Chorus
Oh sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues
Oh sweet mama, your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues


Once I had a girlfriend, she meant the world to me
She went down to Deep Elem, now she ain't what she used to be
[chorus]

.
When you go down to Deep Elem, have a little fun
Have that ten dollars ready when the policeman comes
[chorus]


Once I knew a preacher, preached the bible through and through
Went down to Deep Elem now his preaching days are through
[chorus]


When you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your pants
The women in Deep Elem they don't give a man a chance
[chorus]


When you go down to Deep Elem, put your money in your socks
The redheads in Deep Elem, they'll put you on the rocks (note 7)
[chorus]

lol, yeah it's heavy. And yeah, I once got a tarpon on it--looked to be in the 60-80 lb range. Didn't land 'em tho but what a fight!--have also caught barracuda and sailfish--Salmon ('cept for Kings) generally don't fight as much so a lighter rod is OK--at least in my experience.

I have hooked 9 tarpon, 3 on fly and 6 on tackle from 15# spin to 30w penn.  Never had one on for more than a minute.  Same with snook.  It ain't the tackle, it is the fisherman.

edit-To be clear, I haven't boated one yet, #@$@#$%!

You're lucky to have hooked up that many times. I was so suprised when he hit I nearly dropped the rod. Felt like I had snagged a fast moving log.
