Synopsis Of Episode 46:
This week is gonna be a diverse one. Off the top we visit with our old buddy from the Texas Coast, Captain Pat Hunt. Captain Pat has been fishing Corpus Christi Bay and the surrounding areas since the mid 1950s. Needless to say he is still whackin’ the redfish at a pretty good clip. Where are the trout this time of year. What wintertime bait is the most effective for both trout and reds? All that and a lot more with Captain Pat.
Then with the December 4th Pheasant opener less than a week away and with Maverick and I loading up the truck and heading West on Friday I figured we better find out what to expect this season. Nobody knows more about our state’s roosters than Texas Parks and Wildlife Upland Game Bird Program Leader Robert Perez. TPWD has been conducting surveys throughout the Panhandle since the late 1970s and Robert will tell us what this year’s results mean. We also cover the history of the Ringed Neck Pheasant in Texas. When was it introduced and why?
We round out this week’s broadcast with a very special guest- Texas Rangers hurler Tommy Hunter drops in. Tommy is not only an avid outdoorsman, but his 13-4 record was good enough to lead the majors in winning percentage. An integral part of the best Rangers team in club history Tommy is currently en route to Mississippi in hopes of taking a monster whitetail. Other off season plans include duck hunting with Mitch Moreland Ian Kinsler and possibly hog hunting with Cliff Lee…sounds like a blast. Also, where the heck did the claw and antlers originate? Should be a lot of fun with a genuine good ‘ol boy!
