Ended the trip yesterday with a quick 35 fish day in 3 hours. Put our neighbors at Defiance (Mark and Kern) with us and they spent the entire day in Hall’s and were thankful as they picked up 50 after only 2 all day prior. Got my personal best yesterday at 7.1 lbs ! In Hall’s alone in 2 days we boated 20 or so 6lb + fish. In all my years prior I have boated only 1 over 6lb. This trip was epic as we totaled 185 fish in 3 ( short days as I deal with meds unfortunately) and filleted 128 totaling 100lbs of straight fillets ! Tight lines all !

Nice job! My hat is off to you, I was in there but couldn't seem to get anything besides trees and brush on my lures! We spooned some up in Knowles but couldn't get any in Halls to bite, I could see them on my fish finder so I know I was over/around them. I guess I'll have to regroup and try harder next time!

Hey Viking, how do you like your Reata? I’m considering one or a vexus adx 190. Don’t want to highjack your thread if you would rather pm me that would be great.

Absolutely love it. It’s the 212ls. Sold my Skeeter for this longer deeper hull yet it decks out very nicely for bass fishing. It plays on kid days as well. Just extremely comfortable and the ride is incredible and feels completely safe in windy conditions. The motor is awesome and very responsive. I saw a Vexus on Saturday and it is a gorgeous boat but looks a bit big and bulky to me…

Were you fishing the mouth of the first cove to the right in Knowles?
 
Sweet! I was hoping you had good things to say about it as I’m leaning hard that direction. I’ve look at the vexus dvx, which is probably the model you seen and a comparable model to the reata - I agree with you on the looks.

Possibly going to demo the adx 190 on Friday (weather permitting). Never owned a tin boat, so the claim by vexus the adx rides like a glass boat will be interesting to see.

Great report. Anything over 5 is amazing. That's what I'm talking about.
