Profile for Backlash-Billy - AKA
Billy
WOW! I saw this board and knew I had to join!
I am transplanted on the Right Coast (New Jersey) for now. BUT! I
grew up on the Third Coast! Houston (Sagemont for all Ya'll in Pearland!) and
always had a place to fish. My Grandfather taught me all I know... errr
knew...and I have progressed ever since. We had a shack on Taylor's lake just
before you go across the causeway on 45 for many years. Green's cut and the
entire back bay is where I cut my teeth. We then bought a house @ Indianola and
fished all of Powderhorn and surrounding area. I have fished the entire Gulf
Coast and probably think that Port Mansfield or Port O'Conner are my most
comfortable places to fish. Probably because I have a lot of good memories
there. Things have probably changed so much since my last trip there I wouldn't
recognize it. I have fished all my life (43) and can't ever remeber a time when I
didn't like that salt air blowing in my face. Jersey has some good fish, but
it ain't the same as home... We've got Weakfish (Specks) that go up to 14 lbs!
Fluke (flounder) that go 15 pounds but no Bull Reds...man I miss the reds!
Sorry for the ramble...I miss the Gulf Coast. If you are going to be in
the area, drop me a note and I would love to show you the Jersey Shore!
