      The plan is to have two outing per month during prime fishing months. One outing will be a day outing, the other a Campout. Organized outings will be conditional on availability of Trip/Outing Leader Volunteers and Mother Ducks. Please advise any suggestions that you may have. As discussed in the Nov 20, 2007 PACK Meeting we will use this forum to propose 2008 trips to be selected. Please think of areas that PACK has never been to on or off the list below and submit your thoughts on why this would be a good trip. Also, if you propose a trip we will need a Trip Leader, if one can’t be identified and you are not willing to lead the trip then the trip may not make the 2008 PACK Trip list. 

Posted below will be the "PACK Trip History Locations" that we have or haven't been to; as well as stats and results of our 2007 Trips.  Please reveiw and take time to propose some new locations for next year for there is a lot of Texas coastline that have yet to be explored.  I know some folks have considered some other places in the past such as Florida, Louisiana, and some folks are interested in doing a South Texas SNOOK trip. Let's start the discussions of spots that should make the Official 2008 PACK Trip Calendar. Fish On!

 

Tight Lines,

The following are some sites worth considering for trips next year, in my opinion.

Jan. Day Trip-Jones Lake, Galveston-Offers protection from North winds.

Feb. Day Trip-Anahuac Wildlife Refuge-Offers protection from North winds. Jacks Pocket, Trinity Bay is another consideration and if the wind is from the West, Seabrook would be an idea.

Feb. Weekend-Feb. 23-The "Paddle In" Florida Everglades. See: http://www.evergladeskaya...g.com/ekf-events.htm Another idea would be Baffin Bay which I understand is a great winter spot; however, I do not know how we could get there without a boat. The Paddle In sounds like a lot of fun for those who can make it and I am giving it serious consideration.

March Day Trip-Dana Cove, Galveston

March Weekend Trip- Shoalwater Bay-Shell Bar-This can be a pristine piece of water. From my prospective it is best suited for a weekend trip. We could camp on our own or go with Bill and the Sea Cow.

April-Day Trip-Black's Reef-East Side of Bolivar Penninsula which includes Little Pasture Cove and Marsh Point Flats.

April Weekend-Aransas Pass-Red Fish Bay- (Brown and Root Flats; South Bay Flats, etc.) There are plenty of places to stay in Aransas or we could find a place to camp. I have not fished this area from a kayak but from what I hear it is well suited to kayak travel and fishing.

May-Day Trip-Christmas Bay

May-Weekend Trip-East Matagorda Bay

June-Day Trip-PACK Tournament

June Weekend Trip-Llano River, Junction Texas Area-This is supposed to be a good river in which to use a kayak and is a good place to use a fly rod, as I understand it. If we cannot locate a member who is knowledgeable hiring a guide could be considered.

July-Day Trip-Colorado River

August Day Trip-Salt Lake

September Day Trip-Dollar Point and surronding areas of Texas City

September Weekend Trip-Smith Point

October Day Trip-Sportsman's Road, Galveston

October Weekend Trip-Panther Point

November Day Trip-Seawolf Park

November Weekend-Bolivar Hilton
