OK. This has been a blessed and busy week. First I would like to thank Miriam and Cleve Ford of Dargel Boats Inc. in Donna TX for arranging this past Sunday's trip for Juan, Brother Fidel and Juan's son Jason. We hit Rattle Snake Bay right out of the shoot, which is loaded with Reds right now. No wind (very flat) in the am. Sight casted many many reds, as you are well aware, no wind drift, no reds without wading.
This past Saturday, I fished the API tournament. I had two gentlemen on board, who were very accomplished fishermen. We hit Rattle Snake first and caught 6 Reds. Proceeded to Green Island and caught some nice tournament Trout. The API was a Trifecta tournament, and upon a hunch, we drifted the Cullen Channel and caught two nice Flounder. One 22" and one 25". Sorry to say, we were beat out by 6 ounces for the Jack Pot. Be that as it may. While drifting the Cullen Channel, a gentlemen in a 25' Dargel Kat, shot into Cullen just south of the Cullen Channel and shut down in about 3 inches of water. At that moment I thought I was going to help him push the huge (off shore looking boat) to the channel, so he could get up. TO MY AMAZEMENT, he sat there for about three of four minutes and took off STRAIGHT UP ( No Left Turn) and proceeded to carry on his way, as if it were no big deal. If I hadn't seen that with my own two eyes, I would not have believed it. The two API guys I had on board, were in shock, if two oil field men could be in shock. To say the least, Dargel makes a great boat, but that, takes the cake, hands down.
