Fishing Report: Jan. 10-17, 2008

Guest David Stocker was amazed upon his arrival to find that he was the only guest for his week with Mango Creek Lodge. This advantageous situation meant he was the only fisherman out on the flats each day and he had his pick of sites.

With a strong background of angling for red fish on the Texas coast, David was excited to try his luck hooking up a bonefish. He worked hard throughout the week with guide Tie-Tie to learn the new techniques required for spotting and catching bones. After a number of break-offs and several missed opportunities, David succeeded by catching two in one day. He was thrilled by the power of these deceivingly small fish and eager to return to catch even more.
