I live and in TX and have been sharkin for over 30 yrs and will be in the PCB are in June.How far out do most of you run your lines out off the beach?I have a kayak,a 14/0,12/0,10/0 and 2 9s.I am used to going out at least 600- 700 yds and Im hoping I wont have to work as hard when I get down there in paradise.Thanks, this is a great site.

BULLMASTER,

I USUALLY JUST GO OUT TO THE COLOR CHANGE RIGHT BEFORE THE 2ND SANDBAR. NICE 6-7 FOOTERS COMMON WITH THE RIGHT GEAR. GOOD LUCK.

Iceman thanks for the invitation.When it gets closer to the 21st Im going to really be watching this board.What really sucks when you run lines out as far as we have to in TX is reeling them in the next morning.Alot of the beachs are very dangerous to fish on because of the illegal aliens that will cut your throat if your brave enough to take a nap,therefore you have to stay awake all night or make sure someone is standing watch.If you fish a TX beach at night you better be packing some heat.

Turbow

Very true. I had good luck every trip but one. Had to pull twice in one night.

I like that you can drive on almost all TX beaches but it sure makes you an easy target at times.Turbow you must have been around Padre when you had to pull out on someone.Those guys crossing the border will cut your throat for a quarter.In my area its drunks driving down the beach 80 mph that you have to worry about.I had one run over every rod I had one night.I chased him but he had too good of a lead on me,good thing for him.It was at night so I couldnt see the sights on my weapon.I have changed sights since then.
