Today was a travel day, and it started at 3:00 a.m. I arrived in Harlingen, TX around noon and at Get-A-Way Adventures Lodge early this afternoon. Other writers, editors and tackle manufacturers arrived today, too, and we spent the afternoon getting settled in and trading fish stories on the docks and the back deck. The dock behind the lodge has lights under it, and when the trout showed up in the lights after dinner, some of us couldn't resist making a handful of casts. The trout weren't huge, but we did manage to catch some. I caught three, all on a YUM Money Minnow fished on a 1/8-ounce Bomber Saltwater Grade Bullet Jighead. Tomorrow I'm headed offshore for king mackerel, red snapper, cobia or whatever else decides to bite - assuming the wind lets us out. Now I suppose I ought to sleep. I left home 21 hours ago.
