Hunting through my 30Gb of photos last week (mostly hill country), I came across a set of photos of a summer morning on Lighthouse Lakes.
Not always the best place to fish, but a great place to paddle.
Paddling the coast flats is glorious in itself, though good photos can be tough because of the shallow expanse.
It's always gravy when you can throw in a few fish.
Most of the day, cameras were aimed at birds, a few shots came out nice.
Early morning, high tide, just across the channel and entering the pass onto Lighthouse Lakes

South into the grass trail found some sheltered slick water - perfect for hunting fish sign, though we didn't find much

gliding into the morning

deep into the trail, a roseate spoonbill lit by the sun

marker 21 looked good - got out for some stalking

first fish sign of the day

an ibis that hasn't had her fill of brine shrimp (the lighthouse in the back)

these pelicans were not going to give up their duck blind, were completely unimpressed by us, and watched us sight-fishing their nervous water

ladyfish - these are a blast on a flyrod - here with a spool swap to a slime line in a knee-deep hole

rat red

watermelon break

here we came back to the pass draining the lake, the tide is falling, I have my Teeny line rigged on Sage RPLX7, and it's bent

by a respectable black drum - these are always the proudest catch on the flats

one more shot with the boat

Stevo's hot shot of a spoonbill

But this old one looks really wonderful, I love your old huntig morning photos at Lighthouse Lakes.

thanks guys - standard fare on any hot day in the sun,
a chilled "personal size" watermelon in a lunch cooler
and eating it Texas-style, here on the San Marcos River



I'm also a first-class watermelon thumper, and never picked up one less than perfectly ripe.
