Teammates took a knee in silence while the 25-second play clock ran out. Referees threw a flag for delay of game, but the Fossil Ridge Panthers declined the penalty, as pre-agreed.

Texas summertime offshore fishing

Article Image Alt Text

I don’t know about you, but I get real excited about getting the chance to fish off the Texas coast as I don’t get many chances living in Granbury. I am no expert at Gulf fishing, but I am an expert at enjoying it when I get the chance. I did get a chance to fish out of Port Aransas and South Padre this year! The summer season is a great time to go to the coast as many vacationers do. For us anglers the summer offers numerous days where the big water is flat and calm and many good sporting species normally much farther out move in closer to shore.
