I would be interested in a recent report also. I am thinking of refreshing my memory from that area, from when I was running the camera boat for a couple of the top guides in Baffin Bay. They were filming fishing shows for Sarita Safari's on the Kennedy Ranch called "Lancaster Outdoor Trails" and I was also on the camera boat the day Bill Sheka Jr. guided a client to a 30 1/2 and a 32" trout during the filming from a company from Houston that filmed the fishing in various ports along the Texas coast in 1989. There is a story about these two days of filming that I may tell some day, Maybe!

I'll ask him about that in August. I'm trying to go with him earlier like late Feb or March. His memory is still pretty sharp. Tells me stories sometimes that just make you say damn. Those were the good days to fish, but he will also be the first to tell you , fishing ain't what it use to be. We typically head south with him and fish the land cut and lower Laguna . Baffin has been off the last couple of years, that's why he hasn't fished it much the last few years. He use to do some fishing shows with Allen Warren back in the day.

gulftrout is referring to a video titled "Loan Star Coastal Fishing, Volume II - Lower Texas Coast." I still have a copy of the VHS tape. Volume I covers the upper coast (where ever that is I don't know, since I never fish above POC - just kidding). The lower coast volume is about fishing Port Isabel to Port O'Conner featuring a notable guide at each stop along the coast. I believe the two back-to-back Baffin, "near-record trout" as described on the video sleeve were caught on a jointed redfin. I'd have to go get the old VHS player out of the garage and plug it in to refresh my memory. The video carries a conservation message and a portion of the purchase price was advertised to be donated to GCCA. The package was branded with a Join GCCA redfish logo. It appears a group called Legend Video out of Houston produced the video. It is cool that gulftrout had a part in making the video.

Here is a link to Amazon to show the video http://www.amazon.com/COASTAL-FISHING-VOLUME-LOWER-TEXAS-COAST/dp/B0009HAD0Q

Thanks for the link, I just bought the last video listed. I have never seen the final copy of this video, but I did see the whole thing being filmed! I called Captain Bill tonight and spoke with him for the first time since 1989. Like I have mentioned I was just a 33 year old offshore charter boat captain from Port Aransas, that was just lucky enough to be available, in the right place at the right time. We talked for a few minutes and plan to get together next week for the first time in 23 years. In our short conversation I described in fine detail what happened those two days that no one else would know unless they were there. He said he definitely remembered me and that I had brought back good memories that he had not thought about in years. I am looking forward to our visit next week!
