The people along the Texas coast were not deterred from the devastation wrought by Hurricane Harvey as they continued striving to rebuild homes, business, and their local economy. Nineteen members of the RR Fishing Club were welcomed with opened arms as they descended upon Rockport for their annual fishing excursion for red and black drum.
Over the course of three days, these fishermen traversed the waterways of the Laguna Madre with professional guides and brought home in excess of 180 lbs of succulent filets ready for cooking. Drum is some of the best tasting fish you’ll ever eat with a moist, mild, sweet flavor and a medium-firm texture.
Plans are in the works for the next fishing destinations including Lake Erie Canada (walleye and steelhead), Lake Whitney (striper and bass), Lake Texoma (striper and bass), Lake Tawakoni (catfish), and Lake Ray Roberts (crappie and bass).
Interested in dropping a line? The RR Fishing Club meets the second Wednesday of each month at the Wildhorse Grill at 5:30 p.m. For any inquiries, comments, or suggestions contact [email protected] or Scott Baker 214-334-7664.
