I’ve been fishing off the coast of Texas for over 12 years. First started out kayak fishing offshore. I did that a few times and it was a bit brutal after flipping in the surf and losing gear a couple of times. Then I went up to a couple seadoos. I bought the seadoo fishpro when it came out and it was an awesome fishing machines. I would often go 50 miles offshore on it. After those I upgraded to a twin engine center console and now i have a 40 ft express. The express is a very comfortable boat but it requires more work. The texas coast is brutal but it is fun. I often visit Costa Rica to learn more types of fishing to help improve trips out of port a.
