Welcome to George Rose Guide Service

This blog is simply short events, pictures, and funny things that happen in the day-to-day life of a fishing guide in the ROCKPORT, PORT ARANSAS, AND CORPUS CHRISTI AREA. There's nothing on here that isn't fishing or duck hunting. If you have a question you want me to answer, please email me from my website at http://www.texascoastfishing.com/. I'll answer all I can. Anything is fair game from what kind of boats are best, where fish are biting, you fished with me and hate my guts ( I probably hate your guts too and maybe we can work it out). Anyway, I'll keep up as best I can. Please remember I work a lot and have to answer customer emails, phone messages, and keep boats running. Thanks and I hope you enjoy what you find here.

Please note, you can click on any picture and enlarge it if it's too small. Also, scroll down to see the older blogs. I'm getting emails asking where the stories and pictures are. They are further down. I'm not great at this blogging so keep letting me know if you're not seeing what you want. I'll get one of my kids to fix it, lol. Thanks, and I hope you're enjoying the info on here.

Drew Demonstrates Propper Rod Technique (not)

Ok, I love these two picture for two reasons.  One is Drew here is showing us the propper way to reel in a fish.  See the bottom picture, the one where the rod is bent and there's no slack in the line?  I like that one. 

See the top picture?  The one where the line is slack and he's leaning back?  I hate that one.  You have to keep your rod up and keep reeling to keep the fish hooked.  Drew has the worst form you can have in the top picture and the best form in the bottom picture. 

I'm pretty sure there was some "coaching" going on between picture one and picture two.  He didn't lose a fish all day.  You'll see a picture of what this crew did on another post.

Ok, reason number two I like these pictures.  See the "thing" hanging from Drew's hat?  That would be a hook and piece of mullet.  On of his friends hooked him in the hat while he was reeling in this fish.  I didn't mention that 3 of them worked for Miller Lite did I?  Drew reeled that fish in with a nasty piece of mullet hanging from his hat the whole time.
