[Capt. Ryan Rachunek]

Any of you guys target Tripletail????

i have before, best eating fish along the coast...
It is the best inshore fish on the coast..... West Matty is probably the best place to catch them in Texas - If you know how to catch them.... Where do yall find them there???

[LaAngler]

where i grew up fishing they are only offshore, weed lines, debris, buoy chain....

saw an episode of keith warren in tx catching huge ones on poppin corks and shrimp, never caught one that big.

Come on over to Matty, I'll put you on some..... We had seven before the wind started blowing two weeks ago... My tourney partner went yesterday and it's back on again.... May head that way here shortly.....:smokin:

nice fish....why you holding it next to the camera so close:grinpimp: I was pretending that I was from LA..... :D Wasn't huge, only 17lbs... Plus we were HAMMERED by pic time.....:cheers:

[killa k]

Are they always that beat up? Are those worms all over it?

[Capt. Ryan Rachunek]

It's not beat up, they change color when put on ice.... That's not worms, just something that stuck to it from the pier.....

yes them pilings where fun. I havent seen any yet this year but shouldnt be long now. I did like the spelling on them crossing signs. Had to look at the first a long time before I figured it out:*****::*****:

oh yea, seen quite a few boats end up high ground many a time! They had them arrows or something, i used to actually get right in the middle of the dredged area, big trout would hold up in there when the lake got hot, it was easy pickings with them pilings!

did you put that line on your gps, it is still holding some fish about halfway down.

Yes i did and occasionaly fish it when the lake gets full of boats, nice to have that marked so you can get away sometimes...

Never caught triple tail before...where would one catch a triple tail in SWLA

[cmdrost]

lake if you're lucky, or the buoy chains in the gulf, or grass lines offshore usually around July and August

[coachlaw]

Frank Davis did a thing last Summer on the news about Triple Tails in Lake Ponchartrain. I've never caught one, but they are legendary table fare here in Texas.

PM me if you want to go chase some "Tails".....

[coachlaw]

Thanks for the offer Ryan. I'll do so one of these days. I'm just too hung up trying to deal with fixing Blockade Runners and tearing down the Ghost Camp. As long as none of Ike's friends visit this year, I'll be up for it next year.
