Ah this makes Port A look so gorgeous! I love this song. Who sings it?

[troy92850]

The song is called "Deep Blue Sea" by an Austin guy named "Bob Schneider". Bob and Port Aransas are both Texas treasures in my book.

[troy92850]

Dammit, I can't believe I made that mistake. It's BIG BLUE SEA, not Deep Blue Sea.

Awesome video! I go to Port-A alot to red and trout fish sometimes its hard to catch fish down there lol

[troy92850]

The trip from the video was pretty slow fishing (2006), but I went again this year (2007) and did much better. I hit a nice honey hole and for a short time was catching a Spec on every cast. It was a blast. I hope to go again in 2008.

Good job troy! Since when is canoe spelled canew?

[troy92850]

I'm not sure. Maybe it's phonetical spelling? OK, not really. I think that's how the Karankawa Indians spelled it. They were fierce warriors but not very literate.

if you are or have read this comment then you are cursed for life. You will have a terrible life and never get married (if you are already married you will get divorced). Only way to undo this curse is if you comment 5 videos with this exact message

[troy92850]

Please don't reply.. please don't. I can't get back the 5 min of my life that it took me to type the last response.

i live in port A dude i no how 2 fish so i have a boat with a motor and thats how you roll down here in port a

and remember Spring Break 07 baby commin up

[troy92850]

Dear Dude,

Redfish Bay is a voluntary no-prop zone, so you're not really supposed to use a boat and motor. It is illegal to destroy any of the five species of seagrasses found throughout Redfish Bay, which you would most certainly do if you ran a motor in the 12" deep water we were in.

So I followed the law and good common sense for preserving our environment and not letting the terrorist win because I love freedom. That's how I roll up here, down there, over yonder, etc.

The End

who fishes on a canew

[troy92850]

The Karankawa Indian Tribe that inhabited the area back in the 1700's fished from dugout canoes on a regular basis.

The Karankawa Indians were known for their fierceness and cannibalism. I'm sure they all had Evenrudes, but gasoline was not invented yet, and that rendered their internal combustion engines useless, so they were confined to paddling their primitive water crafts, much like todays kayak fisherman do in the same area. Makes ya think huh?

[Romes944]
