    <title>Bolivar trip report</title> 
    <link>https://www.packtx.org/news/articletype/articleview/articleid/890/bolivar-trip-report</link> 
    <description>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Despite what the weather forecast said, the weather for the Bolivar trip was almost perfect, except for a little wind on Thursday. Some people caught fish, but overall, keepers were few and far between.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
On Thursday, Melissa Holbrook caught a huge big ugly in the marsh. Bruce and Marvin did quite well at Yates. Joel snagged a nice flounder in the marsh along with two keeper trout and two very large sting rays. Surprisingly only one or two keeper reds were caught in the marsh all weekend. But what we lacked in fish, we made up in camaraderie and just a good time. Our group dinner was at the Stingeree Restaurant and 4 or 5 of us dined on fish that Bruce caught (and the restaurant cooked for us.) Joel ate his flounder which was stuffed with crab cake FOR AN EXTRA FREAKIN $20!&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
We did have a few minor inconveniences, however. Bill Leary&amp;amp;#39;s car died on the ferry and it took him an extra few hours to make it to the beach house. John Steigelwald hurt his shoulder and Ken Jennings took a bad fall and hit his head, leaving a large knot. Fortunately, it was not too serious. Will Henderson was kind enough to follow him home.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Besides the 9 or 10 guys staying at the beach house, there were another 4 people who found their own accommodations.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
Overall, it was a very nice relaxing weekend.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Joel&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    <title>Boliver Hilton trip report</title>

    <description>&amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;line-height: normal; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: #000000;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The weather, and the fish, and the&amp;amp;nbsp;camaraderie&amp;amp;nbsp;and the food all came together for another &amp;amp;nbsp;terrific Boliver weekend. Actually, the trip began on Thursday&amp;amp;nbsp;evening, as seven of us arrived in time for dinner at the Stingeree Marina so we could get an early start Friday morning. As usual, most of us headed for the marsh to take advantage of the falling tide. Winds were light and the air was cool. Quite a few of us used live bait, which of course meant that we caught almost every species there was- sand trout and specks, flounder, reds, black drum, sheephead, hardheads, stingrays and crab. Brian Cezak landed his first ever &amp;quot;Big Ugly&amp;quot; and Joel had one keeper red out of about 8 caught. Many of the fish caught were undersized, but there were still numerous keepers.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2881&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;As usual, we took advantage of the beach house and kitchen and had a delicious home cooked dinner Friday night- curry chicken and spinach and grits casserole. Both Tim and Brian brought venison and wild hog sausage to snack on. Tides were again excellent on Saturday and most of us returned with full stringers.Chris A. in his homemade kayak, caught numerous small reds, flounder and sheephead near the golf cart, back in the marsh.Tim, who brought his power boat , went to Yates and Big Pasture with Buzz where he caught some reds, flounder, and dink trout. Buzz caught a beautiful 28&amp;quot; red. Chris Busch had a 25&amp;quot; and 27&amp;quot; red- his best ever. Danny Scarborough came for the day and caught a nice red on a fly. Bill Leary had a couple of keeper trout and lots of dinks. And of course, Bruce had an outstanding day with three full limits of reds, specks, and founder- enough for at least 6 fish fry feasts. (He also paddled about 9 miles to do this.)&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2887&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2888&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;One of the more exciting moments Saturday was when Joel caught his very first Big Ugly- after 55 years of fishing. As he was in the midst of his epic battle, along comes Frank Stanley on a Texas sleigh ride- being pulled down the channel by another large black drum. Of course, the two fish HAD to become tangled in each other. After a few frantic moments, the lines were seperated, and both men landed their monster fish. Frank needed a little help as his fish was too big to fit in his net. AND WE HAVE THE PHOTOS TO PROVE IT.&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2889&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2890&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Usually on PACK outings, too MUCH wind is the problem. For a while on Saturday, there was absolutely NO wind and many of us became targets of gazillions of biting gnats. Fortunately, it didn&amp;#39;t last too long.&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2891&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2892&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Saturday night we had our traditional fried fish feast, cooked by chef Bruce. For an appetizer Greg made delicious grilled oysters. Needless to say, nobody went to bed hungry.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2893&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2894&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Sunday, the weather was absolutely gorgeous and again lots of fish were caught.&amp;amp;nbsp; Overall, the trip was timed just right- excellent tides all weekend and we missed the cold front by 2 days.&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2895&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;
&amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;yui_3_16_0_1_1415841040879_2896&amp;quot; style=&amp;quot;color: #000000; font-family: &amp;#39;Helvetica Neue&amp;#39;, &amp;#39;Segoe UI&amp;#39;, Helvetica, Arial, &amp;#39;Lucida Grande&amp;#39;, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; line-height: normal;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Thanks again for everyone&amp;#39;s contributions! See you at Boliver next year!&amp;amp;nbsp; Joel&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;</description>
