Daily News Help

Hey all,

I've been assigned to come up with a "must-have" item for the November issue of Coast magazine of the Galveston Daily News.

So be it a lure, a gadget, a gizmo, let me know. The catch is that the item must be able to be bought from a local store in Galveston County. We try to steer clear of chains, i.e. Academy.

Let's hear those ideas!

A Shiner from the Sand Bar at West End Marina.

That was a knee jerk response......

What is the best way to get in contact with you!

What about a drop net for that 61st pier..

Well, She did ask the question here, so . . . . . . . . .

Here is one of the must have items on any fishing trip.....

I should be more constructive with my response....
I've found many an unexpected gizmo and doo-dad at Colonel Bubbie's. I'll tend to wander in there, while the women folk are trolling the Strand. Some of the items I've gotten are: long handled stainless spoons, woolen wear (stay warm even when you're all wet) and canvas gear bags. Their prices aren't necessarily cheap and I do wish they were open on Sundays.

I like that place also you can find some neat stuff in there.

Where you thinking what i was thinking?

It may be nancy, but we get our soap (old fashioned block) from Hendley Market. The bouquet is divine.

A guided fishing trip with Capt. Greg Francis-a/k/a "Aqua Pimp". Given that Galveston is a fishing town-look at the Piers, fish camps, large number of boats, homes on canals and even beachfront wade fishing, a guided fishing trip with a premiere fishing guide is likely one of the best presents a person could receive. It is something that once booked, you look forward to with great anticipation and expectations. You never know when you may hook that once-in-a-lifetime fish or experience such beautiful sights while fishing, such as the birds, marshes, alligators, and even the ever-friendly otter; a guided fishing trip can provide all those things in one event-filled day.

I took my sis and brother-in-law from Wis. on an Aqua Pimp trip. It was well worth it. The local color, by way of the ever friendly otter, did not make an appearance, neither did Kenny while we fished his reef.

Cat fur coat made from San Luis Pass toll booth feral cats.

Absolutely positively 100% Galveston county produced.



Seriously- A Boga Grip or similar tool. It allows you to handle a fish without touching it with your hands. Hook removal is simple and safer. For catch and release its hard to beat.

Amanda, the best gadget anyone can have would be a de-hooker & vent tool both can be found at Academy on the Island or any good tackle store. A de-hooker protects the fish & you. It allows the angler to remove a hook without causing any or little damage to the fish insuring healthy populations for generations to come!
