HACKED BY CYBER-ATTACK - ALPERENBTN

With the chances I have to head down to the landcut with my friends growing less and less, I find myself not going down in the most ideal conditions. Anyway for most of you wondering why I launch from Y instead of Bird is the amount of stress it puts on my 80 year old grandpa that makes the trip with us everytime. Anyways time for the story. So I skip school Friday (Texas A&M) and head to the coast, get ready, and hit the beach by noon on Friday. The driving conditions were not ideal, but we managed to get the boat down to mouth of the dunes. I go first in my Z to make sure it is safe. I make it through with no problem. Next is my friend and the boat (22' Hydrasport) which makes it about 50 feet into the sand and then is buried. I go back to try to pull him out. No success, spend about an hour trying and make it about 25 yards. Grandpa sugests taking the trailer off and pulling just the trailer through the cut with both trucks hooked up to each other. That works and we finally make it about and hour and half later. So the fun begins, we have boat trouble and the normal ten minute boat ride takes about a hour. Other than that uneventful and no one was hurt. We try fishing that evening, but with the 20 mph wind the water was nothing but mud. That fishing at night was about normal with probably about 20 keepers caught. With the norhtern that was suppose to blow through between the hours of 4-6. We woke at 6:30 to a light north wind and decided to go fishing. We take our kayaks down to 9 mile hole and get dropped off and then the boat disappears back were it came from. Around 8 the real northern hits with white caps forming in the intercoastal my friend and I surf the waves to the closet cabin to take shelter. We sit there for a hour and half waiting for someone to come pick us up. Finally we get picked up and taken back to the cabin cold and wet. Took a nap and tried again in the evening with no luck. Didn't even try to go fishing the next morning. Cleaned up, left around 11 and got back to Y road. Now some more fun just joking we hauled some tail through the dunes and made it out with no problem. Summary-you can make it through the cut if you want to. The water is murky with scatterd fish and brown tide further south.

I have a question. If you don't get stuck or otherwise get held up at yarbrough pass how much time do you actually save by launching there versus launching at bird island? Thank you, guest Carlton

If we launch from Yarbrough the boat ride is about 10 minutes, but if we launch from bird island it can vary anywhere from 45 minutes to a hour boat ride depending on how much gear we take down for the weekend.
