Episode Transcript

(00:00):
How many fish in our stringer,how many points on our buck, how
many feathers in our bag. That'show we keep score around here. Sportsmen
and women of all skill levels,let's disconnect from the day to day grind
and stay connected to the outdoor activitiesthat you and your family love. This

(00:28):
is the Doug Pike Show, broughtto you by American Shooting Centers Guns Shooting
at Instruction since nineteen eighty nine,and by taking Vegas dot Com for twenty
years, helping sports investors make better, more informed decisions. Now here's Doug
Pike. All right, Sunday edition. The program starts right now. I'm

(00:49):
here and I have been actually forquite some time. I was laughing without
him a minute ago. I gota good afternoon around the house. Everything
he's going fun and relax, watchthe astros, see what they do,
and then go catch fish. Andhad a good afternoon, and came home
and ate a nice dinner and rollinto bed. Alarm goes off this morning,

(01:11):
roll out of bed, feeling prettygood, got a pretty good night's
sleep, didn't distir a lot,get all the way here, all the
way here, wondering and just thinkingit's it's a little darker than usual,
and get all the way here andremember and real well, realized I didn't
remember. I realized that right beforeI went to bed last night. The

(01:34):
last thing I always do is movethat alarm up one hour from about five
thirty to six thirty. Yeah,around that five thirty five forty to six
thirty six forty, because I goon an hour later. The good news
is I got a lot of workdone sitting in my desk all alone on

(01:55):
the other side of the building.Nobody here, Nicky Well, Nicky's here
and skips here working over on KTRH. But that's about it, and producers,
and I noticed that mine wasn't here. I was a little worried about
you, Adam, when I walkedby that room at where the room you're
sitting in now, and it wasstill dark at what I thought was about
like eight minutes before airtime. AndI messed up again. You never done

(02:23):
that. Oh yeah, And anytimeI drive in here and the sun's up,
I'm like, man, I mustbe late. Holy cow, this
is gonna be a problem. Igotta hurry. Nah, don't do that.
Be safe, be safe. Well, I saw some of that good
advice and I'm gonna tell my sonthis too. The one piece of advice
this guy's dad had given it wasone of these inspirational speech things that I

(02:46):
just tripped over on Facebook. Hesaid, if you're on time, you're
late. If you're on time,you're late. This was a kid when
he was twelve years old. Hisfather was giving him this advice. If
you're on time, you're late.If you really want the job, and
you really want to do, youwant to do well, you should be

(03:06):
there early. He also taught hisson to do more than you're asked to
do. If your job is tosweep the parking lot, then do that,
clean out the trash cans, dustoff the tables, whatever, Do
more than you're asked for. Andthe third one, which I found very
interesting that his dad had told himwas don't ask for money. Don't ask

(03:29):
for money, don't talk about it, don't ask for it. Just do
good job, make yourself invaluable tothe company, and you'll get more money.
Just lead by example. And nowin negotiation for a job, and
you kind of got to ask forsome money, and you've got to talk
about money. But at least fromthat point four, once you have the

(03:52):
job, don't talk about it.Just just go do your job and you'll
get paid. And that's that's prettygood advice for anybody. Really do what
you're supposed to do and you'll berewarded. And that's true whether you're a
golfer, a fisherman, an engineer, a plumber, an electrician, a
welder, a lawyer, a doctor, whatever you do, if you do

(04:15):
it better than most, you'll berewarded more than most. Unless you just
don't know how to pick spots whenyou go fishing. That's the single biggest
issue, I think, the singlebiggest hurdle. And we're gonna talk about
a little bit about hurdles and alittle bit about changing fishing tactics at eight
thirty with Cliffweb. I called himyesterday, I texted him yesterday and said,

(04:36):
hey, I want to get youon because we're in now what third
fourth day of absolutely just ice creamconditions along along the beach front up here,
and our water isn't as clear asthere is because there's gets deeper faster,
and that sentiment doesn't get royaled soeasily. But nonetheless, it's another

(04:57):
gorgeous day down there on the beachfront and I want to talk to him
specifically about fishing ultra clear water inthe surf, how to go about it,
when to get into the water,even and even up here, even
where it's so much shallower, andthat first gut only has maybe a foot
and a half of water in it, depending on the tide. And by

(05:18):
the way, if you were wonderingwhether you should go down to the beach
right now, even though it's alreadyeight o'clock, we have an incoming tide,
a nice solid incoming tide until aboutnoon, pretty much up and down
the coast, as you or Iwould would drive to it right now,
And if I weren't doing what I'mdoing right now and for the next two

(05:39):
hours, I would probably go.If I left here immediately after the show,
I would get there right about atthe peak of high tide when it
just went dead still, and itwouldn't do me any good. But if
you can go, you can getout of the house. It wouldn't be
a bad time to go down there. The water's beautiful. Everything about the

(06:00):
Gulf coast right now, from topto bottom, actually looks incredible. And
that bottom half of the coast that'swhere the water is almost I've heard it
described it the old saying, isgin clear. Then there's also alcohol clear,
rubbing alcohol clear, which is clearis clear? It either is or

(06:24):
it is. It either has sedimentin it or it doesn't. And right
now, from about probably I wouldbet even north of Corpus, I'm not
sure exactly where it kicks off,but from there all the way to the
southern border and beyond, it's justclear. I talked yesterday about how I
could only find one or two spotswhere the wind velocity was greater than nine

(06:47):
miles an hour was ten or better, and I am it's bitter sweet because
I'm missing it. But I'm lookingat the entire chunk of southeast Texas that
I check when I'm in here forthis show, and the highest number I
can see, I'm gonna lean inpretty good. Oh, it's nine miles

(07:10):
an hour at Texas City and CrabLake, and those are the highest numbers
on the entire boy. I takethat back down in Sands, Texas,
which is about probably fifty sixty milesinland. Way down south of here,

(07:30):
it's ten miles an hour. Everythingelse within fifty seventy five miles of the
coast everything else is single digits,and there are more zeros on the board
than anything else. Surfside Beach sevenmiles an hour, Saint Louis Pass,
eight miles an hour, dead offshorecalm at Bay City, six miles an

(07:57):
hour at Matta Gorda. Let meroll down a little here, Corpus Christie,
Corpus don't. I would imagine CliffWebb just doesn't know how to act
because that's one of the windier citiesin the entire United States, and right
now he's got a four mile anhour offshore breeze. That's it. That's
it. So I suspect, becauseI know he's not working this morning,

(08:22):
I suspect that what he's doing iswalking up and down the beach. Wait
until he gets interrupted at eight thirtyby me, and then we'll go immediately
back into the water. That's somethingelse we're gonna talk about, is wind
to actually get in the water ifyou're gonna fish the beach front, because
a lot of people do it waytoo early. One of the questions I'm
gonna ask him is whether he thinkswho he thinks walks through more fish people

(08:46):
waiting in the bay, or peoplewaiting in the surf early if you're if
you're down there now right now,the sun's already up pretty high on the
water, and those even though it'san income and tide, some of those
fish are gonna leave that really shallowstuff. But they're very well because of
the tie. They're very well.Could be quite a few of them still
up in their clothes, especially ona piece of beach that's not getting a

(09:09):
lot of traffic. I will getinto all of that when when we talk
to Cliff once we get to theGolf hour, in the nine o'clock hour,
I am going to talk a goodbit about not only the the Schwab
Cup, the Charles Schwab Cup ongoing up there and at Colonial, but
also the Tour champions PGA Championship that'sgoing on up in Frisco and a little

(09:35):
place called well it's not a littleplace at all called Fields Ranch, and
I'll tell you more about that.That's that's one of several major new entries
in the luxury golf arena and it'sit's gonna be a special place, and
I'm glad of that, of course. But i'd also and i'll talk about

(09:56):
this in the nine i'd also liketo see some somebody developing some more affordable
golf opportunities so that we can hangon to more people. Let me go,
let me go check with Dave herebefore I get out to a break.
What's up, Dave? Hey,let me tell you. You know,
that's some of the best life skillsthat you would tell a college you

(10:20):
know, a high school graduate,high school graduate. And you know,
when I went I went to MerrickBrothers, I was making two dollars and
seventy five cents working at a restaurant. And when I went to Merrick Brothers,
I was making four dollars and seventyfive cents. You're rich. Yeah.
And then I got a fifty centraise every two weeks. And the
next thing, you know, twomonths later, I'm a foreman driving a

(10:43):
company truck with the gas lord.Oh yeah, you're moving up the ladder
man, Holy cow. Yeah.And then you know, but they have
me doing detail work. And likeyou say, my mom told me,
when you go out there and dothis, do it like you're doing it
for your mother, you know,I mean, you know, make sure
that everything is detailed out and madesure that you got a lot of safety

(11:07):
up. Like when you're doing schoolsand hospitals and everything else. You need
to make sure that everything's up here. But anyway, uh, you know,
didn't you know? I mean thenext thing, you know, um,
I'm graduating from Saint Pays. Andthen we feel like I said,
where were married? Brothers and andgo. But hey, when you talk
to Cliff Man, I know hewas out there the other day because I

(11:30):
called him and he said, DaveMan, Hey, I gotta hang up
man. He was over with theirfishing. But yeah, yeah, man,
he'll start. He'll just tell youI've had that happened to me.
Man, hold on, I gottago take a fish off for this guy.
And I'll hear the phone. Hewas out there by hisself, you
know. Yeah, but Craig,Craig Husted, He's wanting me to come

(11:52):
out there. So I'm thinking,well, I'll just wear my life jacket.
Hey. And that's another thing.Everybody to be safe on where your
life jack is. But your killswitches on through all that. I mean,
I don't want to wake up tomorrowmorning and year about some sad stuff.
You know, Just be safe.You know, the saddest part of
all day is that you and Ican preach this, and everybody we know

(12:13):
can preach this all we want,and the people who really need to hear
it, the people who think it'sokay to drink and drive, the people
who think it's cool to let theirkids wade fish in Saint Louis pass on
a hard, outgoing tide. Whateverthey're they're gonna do it, and somebody's
gonna get hurt. And a lotof people are gonna be really wrecked for

(12:33):
every Memorial Day for the rest oftheir lives because they just did something stupid
and they're on another doll. Yeahthey're well, they're all up and down
the radio. They're on the Mostof this audience, I want to believe
is smarter than that and has enoughlife experience to share those experiences with their

(12:54):
kids and say, look, Idang near drowned because I did this dumb
thing. Hey, I messed uponce. Well it wasn't my fault.
Okay, I'll tell that story whenI get back. I got to go
to a break, but I'll tellthe the wade fishing, darn near drowned
story when I get back, allright, And also, hey, on

(13:16):
the fishy plus on the stomach stuff, I've been dealing with that. I'm
gonna listen more on their good I'vebeen talking to my doctors. Okay,
do that a godless us, Godkeep us, God blessed, Mirka,
Thank thank you, Dad. I'llsee it, Buddy, I got excited
sor right man, all right,he is an excited guy, and I'm
glad for that. I love thatkind of enthusiasm in people. Sometimes I

(13:39):
have that much energy. Sometimes Idon't. But you just gotta you gotta
make hay while the sunshines. Youknow, as long as I've got a
pose, I'm gonna be thinking aboutfishing and golf and my family and doing
stuff that that makes us all happy. Speaking of making you happy, if
you can do it responsibly and safely, don't be scared to crack the can
on or or twist off the topof a bottle of bush light this weekend,

Same great taste it's always had.It's refreshment in a bottle. It's
refreshment in a can, an Americanstyle lagger, crafted to deliver the rewarding
finish we've all come to know andlove. So whether you're headed for the
beach or the bay, or thelake or wherever you're going to celebrate this
holiday weekend, when you get there, not while you're driving there, open

(14:28):
one or two. Even if you'vegot somebody to drive you home, who's

sports seven ninety dot com. Nowdo by, Oh oh, are we

(15:33):
back at him? What the heckis that? Man? Did you see's
two? Quiet for you? No, it's okay, It's just I just
wasn't expecting that. Well. Ithought of something, something calumn for the
year. Man. I felt likeI ought to be getting a massage.
That's what I felt like. Areyou at peace? How was it?
I'm at peace? Now? Yeah? That was awesome. All right,

(15:54):
Welcome back to Doug Pike Show onSports Talk seven ninety. That was probably
the most serene music I've heard sinceI started doing this program, what twenty
three years ago? Holy cow?Let me get my trusty mouse here and
go talk to William. What's upWilliam the Motor Show. How are you

(16:15):
today? I'm good. Thanks.I'll get to my my near drowning story
later. I want to hear aboutyour story. Well, I'm just gonna
try to condense it as much asI can, and I don't take that
much time. But ktr H dida story about an incident up at Yellowstone
National Park where I heard a bisonwere moving through the park and one of

(16:42):
the guests to the park went aheadand touched the bison. He was a
baby bison. Yeah, And thewhat's wrong with that is the heard.
We'll have a tendency to go aheadand reject they heard if they have this
man of humans on them. Andthe point I'm just trying to make is

(17:03):
that it's really important if it's wildlifeout there, I don't care. I
know we don't have any buffalo herein Texas, but any type of wild
i've like phones or anything like.Yeah, I know it's a big temptation
for people to want to put thembut they need to leave them alone,
you know. And that's Oh.One other thing I do need to say

(17:27):
is that the park had to goahead and euthanize that baby because herd just
abandoned it. I'm sure didn't theyYeah, they did, And that's just
really important to understand that it's andthe hurd will take care of them,
but they people just need to leavethem alone. Well, thank you,

(17:47):
will you. I appreciate that.Man. We were up there about two
weeks ago and we even got calledand heard that was crossing the road out
there, and when the buffalo comeup up to our car, and you
know, it's just amazing cities animal. Yes, there they are. They

(18:07):
really are closer they get the biggerthey look. Man, they're bigger than
horse. Right. But anyway,I just I just wanted to make that
point, right, you know,it's just yeah, really believe the wildlife
out there. Thank you, Williamappreciate it. Thank you, Yes,
sir, Yeah, he makes avery good point. Wildlife is wild,

(18:27):
leave it alone. I get sucha kick. If you ever are board
and online somewhere and you're looking forfunny things to read, look up complaints
from National Park visitors and just gowith that. There's I think it was
a Yellowstone guy, guy who's beena park ranger there for like forty years,
ed decided to write a book onall the things that he and his

(18:51):
co workers have heard come out oftourists mouths. They just make fulls of
themselves. They're such cities liquors.And for all the good that Walt Disney
did early on in his career whenhe was opening parts and starting all these
wonderful fairy tale movies for kids,the one thing that didn't come out right

(19:18):
out of all of that is thisfalse belief among so many people of several
generations now that all the animals inthe forest just get along like the third
graders on the playground. They don'tand they don't want us messing with them,
and they don't want to mess withus. But if you cross them,

(19:40):
if you step across a line,for example, and want to go
pet a bison or go pet anelk. Right now, there's a warning
up in Yellowstone about not messing withthe female, especially the cow elk,
because they've got calves right now,and they are You think somebody in your
neighborhood is a protective mom go tryto get anywhere near that little calf elk,

(20:06):
and see what if you don't gettrampled. It's just it's ignorance,
and it's not This is nothing thatgets taught in school because it's not reading,
writing, or arithmetic or history.Even nobody teaches. They're so busy
teaching other things that I'd rather theydidn't in school now that they never take
time. I haven't heard. I'vegot a son fifteen years old, it

(20:29):
just got out of the ninth gradenow, and I've never heard him come
home and say, wow, Dad, they taught us some stuff about nature
today, about wild animals today.No, that's not on the agenda.
They're busy filling kids heads with otherstuff and it's not doing them any good.
They go home and watch some ofthese movies where all the animals just

(20:49):
sing songs and hold hands and sitdown and eat the same meal together.
That's not how it works. Andif you go out there and you interfere
with nature, nature's going to react. It might react by attacking you,
and it might react by rejecting oneof its own just because it came in

(21:10):
contact with you. So don't dothat, okay, all right? So
back to my safety Sally speech forthis morning, something that I did probably
when I was thanking God, Idid it when I was in my twenties
and not in my fifties. FishingSaint Louis Pass. I'm waiting to surf,
as is everybody on the planet.That morning beautiful, absolutely gorgeous day.

(21:34):
I'm on the second sandbar with halfthe crew, and there are five
or six people out on the thirdbar where it's about chess deep, almost
chess deep at that particular time,in that particular spot, I'm standing in
waste deep water and I'm catching afish every now and then. But I
noticed that the guy's out there alittle farther, doing a little better.

(21:55):
I gotta go, so I realI was fishing a mirrorure that's more that
morning and having a blast with itand just doing okay. But the fishing
was better on the other side.The grass was greener on the other side
of the fence. Okay. That'sI'm always I'm always wanting to do better
than what I'm doing, and ifthere's somebody else fishing better than me,

(22:15):
I'm gonna go out where they areif I can get there. I really
I didn't want the lure I had. I knew I had to put the
rod the handle in my mouth andswim out there because it was pretty deep
between bars. I wasn't gonna tippytoe out there. I was gonna have
to side side stroke and get outthere. And I didn't want that mirror

(22:36):
up close to my face, soI just reeled it to the tip of
the rod, kept it as faraway from my body as I could so
I could swim. And I've gotthe rod hanging out the right side of
my mouth. I'm left handed,and I'm reaching forward with my left hand
and pulling with my right hand andback and forth, and I'm making pretty
good progress. And then all ofa sudden, it just feels the rod

(22:57):
starts to feel heavy and heavier,and I'm thinking, gosh, I'm a
pretty strong swimmer, am I thatweek that I just even just the weight
of the rod dragging through the wateris slowing me down. And all of
a sudden, I've still got afair ways to go, and I'm not
making a lot of progress, andI'm getting just a little bit worried that

(23:19):
I might even have to just spitout my shiny new beautiful Abu Garcia of
five thousand Ambassador real and matching rodor what. I don't know what rod
I had on, it doesn't matter. And just about then my toe finally
touches sand and say, oh,okay, finally, so a couple more

(23:40):
strokes that I recover, and I'mstanding there and kind of just catching my
breath and I got to get thatrod out of my mouth so I could
breathe. So I grabbed the rodand as I pick it up, I
feel a significant weight on the endof that rod. Something there really was
something slowing me down and dragging alongbehind me like an anchor, like a
drift anchor. And there was oneother guy out there. One of these

(24:03):
guys turned around and said, man, I'm glad you made And I thought
I was gonna have to come getyou. And I'm just huffing and puffing
and I'm strong enough. I've beensurfing long enough that I made it.
And off that mirror lure was hanginga cabbage head about the size of a
candle. Up you know what thoseare? At him, I thought it
was a vegetable. Well, it'snot a cabbage a cabbage head, it's

(24:26):
it's a it's a species of jellyfish. It doesn't have long tentacles. It's
just got kind of this little cauliflowerlooking bottom on it, and then a
big smooth, slick surface in theshape of a ball, okay of a
sphere, an orb if you will. And that particular one weighed probably seven
or eight pounds. And I'd beenswimming along with that, dragging it out

(24:48):
there to the third bar. IfI could have taken it back to the
beach and blowing it up, Iwould. I thought it was gonna kill
me, and it almost did,but it didn't. And that's the good
news. Seven one th two onetwo five seven ninety email Medugpike at iHeartMedia
dot com. Just another safety lesson, that's all. That was. Just
anything. If something can go wrongat the beach, it probably will,

(25:11):
and you just have to be carefulenough to take care of yourself if it
does. Going in the other direction. American Shooting Centers is out there on
West Timer Parkway between Katie and Highwaysix. It's the largest non military shooting
facility in the entire state of Texas. They have two hundred plus shooting stations,

(25:33):
including three Sporting Clay's courses. Ithink it's ten trap and skeet fields.
They have five stands setups all overthe property. They've got a special
beginner's wing shooting area. They havea pop up silhouette target rim fire range
out to two hundred and fifty yards. That's kind of fun. They have
pistol shooting starting at five yards,and then that range graduates all the way

(25:56):
out to the rifles at six hundredyards. And if you're not doing as
well with a particular type of shootingthat you enjoy, hire an instructor.
They have professional instructors that can helpyou with all the disciplines. The owner
is at Aige, great guy.He set this place up when he bought
it to be an amusement park forshooting enthusiasts, a very safe place.

(26:19):
There's eyes on everybody the whole timeyou're there. There are always people driving
around looking at you, walking around, looking at you on the rifle and
pistol line, making sure that everybodystays safe and has a good time out
there, and you will. You'llstart breaking more targets that will make you
happier come next hunting season. Ifyou're not practicing during the offseason, you're

(26:40):
not going to shoot as well,and you probably didn't shoot that well this
season. Anyway, if you're theaverage shooter, get out there, take
a couple of lessons, get betterat what you enjoy. You'll save that
money back in Amma next year.American Shooting Centers dot com is a website

(27:03):
seven ninety. Back to the DougPike Show. This land is your land,
and this land is my land,from California to the New York Land,
from the Redwood Forest, good Streamwater. Welcome back the Doug Pike Show
on Sports Talk seven ninety. Ican honestly say, Adam that in my

(27:26):
twenty three years of doing this show, I haven't had anybody who has surprised
me more with music rejoin music thanyou. And it's it's a pleasant surprise.
That's a good thing, that's ahigh compliment. Well, thank you
very much, you're quite welcome.I enjoy this. It's just always so
random and so weird that it's itmakes it fun. I do like the

(27:49):
idea of us bringing in the classicalmusic from time to time because it exposes
people to music they probably wouldn't everhear otherwise, and that's not a bad
thing. So between that and thisland is your land. There you go.
Keep you on toes, yeah youdo. Let me get the cliff
weeb. He's rising in shine.Are you on the beach already? It's
just you're gonna make me mad ifyou say yes. But I'll deal with

(28:11):
it. I'm sitting there looking atI'm sitting on the beach right now.
I'm looking at my buddies, soon top water. I can't call you
what I want to call you rightnow. Good for you, you know,
Good for you, Cliff Web.I wanted to talk talk to you
this morning about something we really don'tdeal with it often this far up the
coast, for sure, But Iknow down where you are, you're probably
looking at about the third day ina row of ultra clear, calm surf,

(28:34):
and that's a different game than whatwe typically deal with, even even
down your way. It's not thatclear that often, is it. You
know. It's it's so funny yousaid that, though, because the last
seven or eight years our water,Clothy has really improved every your symptom because
of packery channel. I don't knowwhat's going on here with the currents and
stuff. If this packery has alwaysmade has made a big difference in the

(28:56):
mount of bait we have in oursystem in the Mount of Cliff we have
an ongoing but also it's helped tosurf and we go through these periods where
we'll have five or six years ofnot so clear water, then we'll have
five or six years of beautiful water. We're kind of in that circulation of
water now where we don't have alot of Sargasso seed weed right now like
we normally do at this time.It's a little bit, but man,

(29:18):
our water is like the second weekthat's just been gin getting clear. And
our surf fishing here is you know, you're talking about structure while to go
about fishing the pilings on the pierthat is social bar because I sit there
and watcha all these people cast awayfrom the piers and your surf structure is
different. It's a different type ofstructure on your on your structure in the
surf it's uneven bottomed, or it'sit's it's dual bars are dead end too.

(29:41):
A gut and this is always changing, you know, it's not It's
not like you're going to go backevery year and these bar's going to be
the same. And my big keyto learn where the fish are in the
surf is to learn your areas insuper low tides. And we have these
really really low tides. Go bakeyour landmarks on the beach where these little
guts and stuff in, these littlebars and stuff in. And you know,

(30:03):
uh, these trotter predators they gotto have structure. They want to
hide behind stuff and jump out andneed it. Just I just I compare
them to like a leopard. Youknow, they hide. You're gonna hide
out there and watch it. They'renot gonna cruise around red fish or cruisers.
They cruise around. It comes upfront of them, you know.
But the trotter ambush fish. Andthe trouble we have here is so clear.
They're so lime shy after the suncomes up, and that can be

(30:26):
a real fall of catching them.So it's you know, you really got
to downsize on your leader and youbetter be here early, uh you know.
And and the other thing is,so you've got miles and miles of
beach and how do you figure outwhere the fish are on that beach.
I can sider right now and tellyou there's no fish for I'm at.
But I'm in a dead thoat righthere, Bubba. I mean I'm looking.

(30:47):
I end not seen the mullet.I'd not smell. Now I can
go four or five miles down thebeach and find that bunch of mullet and
find thosemen. Hay can find thoseblast minutes and I'll find a fish.
But just think how much dead wateryou tike a hundred miles, how much
of it's deadwater? Let me askyou. Let me ask you this.
Do you agree or disagree that ifyou stand there long enough the fish will
come by you? Yes, sir, so this is a good point.

(31:10):
So last Thursday it's dead flat.I come out at twelve o'clock and see
how many fish I have in mysurf. And the reason I do this,
I go stand on the second barand I'm standing with the blue shirt
on for about thirty minutes, andI watch schools, a sheep that come
by. I watch schools the fuckingdrum come by. And then I see
four or five truck come by.I see the sharks, but they're definitely
moving. But the reason that youwant to fish the structure is that's where

(31:32):
they stopping me. Yeah, that'swhere they feel as their yes. So
as they're cruising down the beach andthey find this this perfect bottom that they
can ambush a bait, that iswhere they're pulling into and stay, and
that's where you have your chance,you know, catch your fish. And
you know, I've noticed something tooabout the thir Watch down the surf,
like two or three miles and watchwhat your base doing and which way that
bakes moving, which way the actionis going. If they're coming to you,

(31:53):
they're going away from you. AndI have guys to get in the
truck and don't follow these schools downthe beach. They got these high racks
and they can see the bait.You know, they're fifteen foot in air
and they'll see the bait. They'llpull down five miles to Keeap with that
school. I can't see that,so I'm depending on new schools coming by,
you know. So if I pullup to my area like I'm at
right now, where there's a lotof structure, the fish are not on

(32:14):
it. They could be here anhour from now, but I'm probably not
gonna wait. I'm probably just gonnacruise up and down the beach and they
look for the bait. I gotit. I got one word for you,
and it's going to cost you alot of money. But when you
think about what you can do withit, you know you're gonna go do
it. Drone, Oh, Iknow, God, can you imagine what
you could say if you just puta drone thirty feet in the air,

(32:35):
standing staring straight down. You knowwhat this guy's got here? So cool.
This guy's got like a deer standthat he in the water, takes
it out and he stakes it andaway seeing that, yeah, and he
climbs up on top of that thingwith the fly rod. On the second
Marc, he's tarp and come byand he's standing out going flies the tarp
and code back. We've got twobig schools to tarp in here yesterday,

(32:58):
moving off the end of the jetties, and guys can't quite get to them.
I've seen guys in Zoldia getting tothem and stuff. But you know,
our our beach fish is pretty Badumgood here, no kid, pretty
good? What's your snook game lookinglike right now? It's it's early,
but we've already seen one. Infact, we had one hooked him with
doing a mondrie. Last week wehad about a twenty five incher get off
and the good nice. But youknow this is gonna be a snook here.

(33:20):
It's funny how we'll skip a yearand then they'll be here. But
I can order to tay, it'sgoing to be a snook here. But
simply because they quit working on thejetties over here and quit making all that
noise. Also, I think they'llthey'll catch more this year. Let me
go back to a little bit ratherhard. Oh I know, man,
let me go back to a littletechnique and stuff here. You're cool with
braid still in ultra clear water.And if you're if so, how long

(33:44):
a leader? What I do isI go to like a five or six
foot floor carbon leader. That's whatI'm doing. Yeah, And this is
a problem with being fluid carbon.I love flut carbon visibility. Why's good,
But it's I have a love hatesimply because on my big fish,
it's a little carbon doesn't have alost stretch. And when I get a
big fish on them with brag,I'm tipping the hook out because with the

(34:06):
model I'm keeping the cushion. Butin gin clear water, you know they'll
see that model. And another thing, the big mistake people make with little
carbon number one mistake they put sunscreenon their hands and then either knock.
You just put shot shine and sheena mirror. It's like a mirror.
So when you get through doing allthis, just take your paper towel and
wipe all that stuff off in thesurf when it's gin clear, and it

(34:28):
will make a different. Well,now I got to carry a roll of
paper towels out in the surf.When you first tie that none truck anyway,
you know you're getting truck and youknow, but it does make a
different. You can just see thatshine, you know, like two or
three inches above the hook when it'sgot sunscreen on them. Yeah, yeah,
you do you change the lures atall for clear surf. Yeah,

(34:50):
that's another thing. So if I'mgonna try to catch a really big fish
in the surf, so it's allabout timing of the cash too. Yeah.
So when you're snow the surf flat, you have a little bit of
a ripples that way it breaks,it makes a little bit of phone if
you'll pull in that phone for justa second, maybe a half a second
or two or three seconds to workit when they really can't make it out
in those Yeah. Yeah, that'sa good point. I'm doing right to

(35:13):
wait breaks. I'm doing a littleshortcast kind of where the bait is behind
that in that phone to get himto hit and it's go make a long
cast and they're gonna see your lineslap in the water and all that.
Yeah, you might catch them buttif you'll make those little shortcasts after the
wave breaks right behind them. Whenthat flows in the phone that can't quite
make it out, they'll smoke it. I got about I got about a
minute. I want you to lecturesomebody on not just trampling out. Who

(35:35):
scares more fish? Who walks throughmore fish? The guy waiting in the
bay or the guy waiting out inclear surf. I don't know. I
think the guy in the bay.Yeah, man, probably it's both,
so both, Joe, Well uphere, yeah, up here. Well,
we're not crunching up here, butwe're walking through the first gut and
a gray light of dawn. There'sa lot of fish up clothes, man,

(35:58):
that they just plow through. Well, you know, and the reason
is Doug. So all these sharkspush these fish to the beach in the
morning, right up on the beach, and you walk through them to go
test out where the sharks are.Don't make any start shallow, and then
work your way out if you're notdoing anything. But most of my fish
are caught here in the first gut. All right, man, I'm gonna
cut you loose. I know you'rejust gnawing at the bit. Thank you,
cliff Man. I'll see you assoon as I want it. Man,

(36:22):
I wanted this holiday weekend to getout of the way, and then
I'm gonna call you and I'm gonnacome down. You better, but I
might to see you Christian, Thankyou, Yeah you too. Audios.
All right, we gotta take alittle break here. I'm running up just
a smidge late. That wasn't asbad as I thought it was. Gonna
be on the on the clock atthem, so don't get too mad.
Timber Creek Golf Club. If you'rein the mood, you're on the south

(36:44):
side and you're not going to thebeach today because you don't fish, well

(37:50):
Fike Shows with the faces all right, Welcome back to Doug Pike Show on

(38:12):
Sports Talk seven ninety. Who wasit sent this Mercy's sake? Alan says
he loves the U the rejoint music. So you have a fan. Now,
Adam, you have another fan.I guess a quick disclaimer and Scott
reminded me of this. Captain Scottknow if you are fishing, you can't
use a drone to locate fish.I think, and I'm trying to get

(38:36):
some confirmation that if you leave allyour fishing tackle at home and you just
have your little drone flying up anddown the beach, maybe you can take
a look there or maybe not.I'm sent back an email to Scott to
see if he can respond and letme know whether it's okay. It's kind
of like going birding. You're usinga tool to you're using binoculars to look

(38:58):
at your birds, and I'm wonderingif you can't just do that just to
look at fish. And if ifI don't hear back from Scott, I
may check with a couple of gamewarden friends on that, just to be
sure. I don't want to getanybody in trouble. So don't go down
there with ten rods in a rackon your front bumper of your truck and

(39:19):
have your drone flying out in frontof you and then jump out and start
fishing somewhere. I'll get it.I'll get a ruling on that when I
can. Let me go talk toRick by, see what's up on your
world? What's up in your world? Rick? What's going on? Man?
I'm I'm all excited, don't.Clayton is lying in on a big
bird here, and I've never seenhim come home for a few days.

(39:45):
Only when he leaves it about March. The last words he says at the
airport is I'll see either Thanksgiving aChristmas Holy Cow. So yeah, but
anyway, he's excited about that.Yeah, I love left. No Cliff
will. There's nobody I've ever heardin my life more passionate about what he

(40:05):
does than Holy Cow, isn't he? Though? I've never had the opportunity
of fishing with him, and butthat's kind of on my bucket list.
I see, I'd really like togo fishing with. I think there'd be
one cool dude to me. Heis. He knows. Everything you hear
from him on the radio is exactlythe way he is in person. He's
that enthusiastic about it. He doesn'tmean he was I guarantee you he was

(40:30):
tapping his foot the whole time wewere talking because he's watching his frail out
there fish. You know, itjust drives you crazy. Yeah. The
other thing real quick, just thisis dedicated to Adam by the boy.
I won't tell you. It's alittle bit little start stories. I had
this place so big places on anepisode of the River, and the river

(40:57):
under normal conditions was only about threeor four foot beat and like Cliff would
say, gin clear at times,beautiful setting through the woods. Pretty and
anyway, I was talking to theranch manager that was there when I had
that place for so long, andwe were laughing and have stuff that happened

(41:22):
what we did a few times.But he came up with this, and
I've got a picture of this somewhere. I need to find it. But
he uh, we're on four wheelersand I got my wife with me,
and we go down there to theriver. No fiddle my buddy, he's

(41:42):
about six six, it's the homeboy. And we pulled up there to
send us. I pulled up there, I told my wife, I said,
look at hand. I said,there's a spotted guard right there in
front of us, right there.Some people call him leopard of guard.
I don't know a real name,I call him Spotted Doors. But he

(42:02):
was about three and a half.He could have been four foot long.
He wouldn't a little bitty yeah.And so we're sitting there and we're on
looking at him, and he's facingthat current, just sitting there, he
waiting on something to come by.And my buddy, he says, you
know, I could catch him.And I said, what would you use

(42:24):
to catch him? He says,looked. He looked at me. He
says, I catch him with myhands. I said, I bet you
can't. He said, I betI can. And man, by the
time I said that, he alreadyhad his boots off. And he says,
all I'm gonna do is do downhere about twen fifteen feet behind him.
I'm gonna ease up. I'm gonnagrab him by the tail with my

(42:45):
right hand on the water, andI'm on grabbing him by the throat with
my left hand. Oh, Isays, you're crazy. Of course,
my wife is laughing. She thinksit's funny. And he gets in the
water and I'm not kidding you,dug. He's down there on that thing,
and I mean, this guar isnot seven or eight feet from me

(43:07):
and my wife. Sure, andhe's just sitting there and oh fill,
he gets down there, he reachesevidently hadn't done it before, I bet,
and he reached it in there andhe grabbed that thing and pulled him
out of that water and helped himup over his head. Oh my god,
take a picture. Oh yeah,you know, there there are.

(43:36):
It's a special kind of people whoare willing to just go in and grab
stuff like that. I'm okay withsnakes. I'll do that with snakes,
but I don't know if i'd wantto grab the back end of a guar
unless I had full control of thefront end of that guar. Well,
there's two things that amazed me thatI would never do. One, I
ain't grabbing a snake from number one. Number two is these guys that Newman

(44:00):
for catfish. Yeah, that's another. That's another not on my bucket list
thing. I'm not grabbing a wildhog either. And I know a lot
of guys who will, Oh yeah, I know they'll they'll grab them up.
They'll with dogs. But anyways,that's all. It's a beautiful day,
it is. I hope everybody hasa good Memorial Day, and God

(44:21):
bless everybody. God bless them.Yeah, yes, sir, thank you.
Rick on the seat audios. Alwaysa pleasure man, always a pleasure
phone calls like that, always welcome. I love hearing stories like that.
That's just one other crazy outdoors person. Somebody will sneak up behind a guard
in a river and just grab itand just wrestle it out of the water.

(44:46):
Man. There was a guy upin North Texas. I've told the
story about Barefoot Bob, and Iwon't go into it now because we don't
have time, but that was aguy who would who would lie on these
kind mots of grass that had alittle bit of water under him and whatnot,
and he when he knew a hoghad gone up under that stuff to

(45:07):
hide from him, he would sprawlout on it and crawl out on it
and keep reaching down until he feltthe hog's back, then determine which way
the hair was facing so that heknew front end from back end, and
then would just bury himself and thatstuff, reach in, grab that hog

(45:28):
by both back legs, and dragit out of the grass. And I've
never known anybody quite that crazy,but he was a special kind of crazy.
I looked at the wind before wego to break here. I know
I have to go at him,but before we go, I looked at
the wind, and the wind isit's even calmer than it was before.
It's such a beautiful day to beon the beach front, on the lakes,

(45:49):
anywhere you can get outdoors today,it's going to be fantastic. If
you go outside and you drop afeather, it's gonna land on your shoe,
that's how calm it is. We'lltake a little break here on the
way. I'll tell you about theboatyard down in Kiema. If you don't
have a boat and you wish youdid, that's a great place to go
to get a good look at afine selection of both new and pre owned
boats. Boats that have had alittle gentle use over the years and have

(46:14):
been cleaned up real good, andthey're shiny, just like a new one
sitting out there on five eighteen atthe boatyard. Go down there and talk
to JT and his guys about exactlyhow you would use that boat, and
they'll help you pick one out that'lldo exactly what you wanted to do.
They've got to Hotsu outboards down thereto two hundred and fifty horses, ready
to be strapped onto the back ofyour boat that you own now if you

(46:35):
need a little bit more power,maybe a little less whatever. It is
just new power to Hotsu. Nota household name around here yet, but
making great inroads since they've started NorthAmerican distribution. They've got all the electronics
you can imagine. They've got powerpoles, they've got trolling motors, they've
got the sewnars and radars and youname it, light bars, sound systems.

(46:58):
If you want to blare your musicacross the bay, all of it's
there, just waiting for you atthe bowyard. Great maintenance crew too,
led by a guy named Mark.I've met him. He will He will
listen to any challenge you want tothrow at him on where to put something
on your boat that other people havetold you can't be put there. Eagles
Bowyard dot com. That's the website. If you can't go see him,
give him a call. Take alook at the website Eagles Boatyard dot com.

(47:23):
This is the Doug Pike Show,brought to you by American Shooting Centers
Guns Shooting an instruction since nineteen eightynine and by taking Vegas dot com or
twenty years helping sports investors make better, more infeigned decisions. Now, here's
Doug Pike. All right, welcomeback. Second hour of the program starts

(47:46):
right now. I'm gonna go intoa little golf and minut I'm gonna go
back to the drone question because CaptainScott laying a pretty significant answer to the
question that I asked him a coupleof minutes ago, and it's possible,
I don't know. I may tryand call him and just see if I
can get him to talk about ita little bit on the air. But

(48:06):
he gave me an awful lot ofinformation here, awful lot of information which
is very good looking at golf,which we need to do because there's a
couple of things going on. Numberone, the Schwab Cup, the Charles
Schwab Cup on going as on thePGA Tour, as is the Tour champions
Kitchen Aid Senior PGA Championship. Andlet me get over to my leaderboards here.

(48:31):
I have them both laid out andI'll go to him right now.
I'll start with that Charles Schwab Challengeat Colonial up there. Adam Shank and
Harry Hall wound up yesterday through prettydifferent routes. Really Hall never moved.
He shot seventy two and didn't startto day in the league, but finished

(48:53):
tied for the league with Adam Shank. They're both at ten under par.
Alone in third is English who shotseventy yesterday. Justin Sue shot sixty six
yesterday to move himself up to atie for fourth with Emiliano Grio, who
doesn't look anything like he looked asa younger golfer. By the way,

(49:16):
almost didn't recognize the guy. VictorHobland at five, Kevin Streelman at five,
David Lipski and biong Hunan at fiveunder par going into today's final round.
Unless one of them really catches onfire. I'm not sure they could
jump over the five guys in frontof them, but it's possible. Anything's

(49:38):
possible in golf, sometimes not probable, but possible anyway. The Tour champions
Kitchen Aid Senior PGA Championship is underwayup outside of Frisco, actually at a
place called where did He go here? It's so all men Fields ranch there

(50:00):
it is. I typed up anentire page of stuff I wanted to talk
about about this place and about howit kind of fits into the golf scape
now. And I didn't highlight thename of the place, but that's what
it's called. Fields Ranch, ifyou haven't heard. Is also home to
the PGA of America new home tothe PGA of America. Right outside Frisco,

(50:21):
two premier courses that are going tohost twenty six tournaments in the next
years. These are professional tournaments,and well not all professional, but anyway,
in the next eleven years, they'regonna do twenty six big events,
including six majors. This place,the PJA of America had decided we want

(50:42):
in on this and there's a big, beautiful hotel there, a luxury hotel.
It reminds me in some ways ofa cross between Aaron Hills up in
Wisconsin. I played there years agobefore it hosted an open and TPC San
Antonio. And like San Antonio,this place, as I said, has
a really big luxury hotel. It'sgot plenty of shopping and dining and entertainment,

(51:07):
entertainment experiences right there on the property. These places are being designed to
encourage their guests to just never leave. You get to TPC San Antonio,
first of all, you're a goodfifteen twenty minute drive from pretty much anything
else. At least that's the wayit was. I'm sure it's developed between

(51:28):
the facility and town a little bitmore than it was the last time I
was over there. But what theyI guess there their amusement parks for golfers.
Okay, their turnkey experiences on avery high level, a very high
level. The courses are impressive,especially it fields ranched specifically almost no trees.

(51:49):
But the flyover views, the droneviews, actually you can see you
can see them online. They showa whole lot of places on that property
where you don't want to hit youroff ball if you ever want to see
it again, let alone have ashot from where it's landed. It's great
that these places are being built,but I would also like to see at

(52:10):
some point, and there's a coupleof more of them around here that I'm
going to visit shortly, and onceI do, I'll tell you more about
them. But I would also atsome point like to see some more affordable
golf options go in even we justneed some fresh spots where people who can't
afford five hundred dollars a night hotelrooms, who can't afford two hundred dollars

(52:35):
green fees can still go and enjoythe game of golf. We don't want
to. I don't think after thelast twenty years of building the game,
I don't think golf can afford toignore all the people that were brought to
the game by Tiger Woods by someslight changes in the perceptions of gold off,

(53:00):
some improvements in the pace of play, some improvements in the general attitude
toward golf and how the game isplayed and by whom. But that's tough.
It's tough to make that happen.Operate in the golf course costs a
lot of money, a lot ofmoney, and the best way to keep
a nice course nice is to limitthe amount of play it gets. But

(53:23):
that reduces revenue, which makes ittough to perform the maintenance, which you
can see. It's it's a realbalancing act at any level of niceness,
if you will, at any levelof quality. That's a big part of
why so many entry level golf coursesaround here failed about twenty up to maybe

(53:46):
fifteen eight years ago. You cancharge less and try to generate your revenue
with volume of play, but thatvolume of play takes a faster and greater
toll on the golf course itself,which tends to make the golf course not
so desirable. And then all thosepeople who were coming because it was a

(54:07):
value play don't come anymore because thecourse is a piece of junk. There
have been several around here that ultimatelyfailed, and their failure wasn't because they
couldn't possibly draw players enough to supportthem, but because they didn't have the

(54:28):
money or the staff. You gotto have an equipment. You got to
have one of the two. Youcan charge more and spread out your tea
times to avoid crowding and all thewear and tear of handling so many rounds.
But that takes a toll on theequipment, takes a toll on your
payroll. You got to pay morepeople to get more work done in the
limited amount of time that's available towork on a golf course. If it's

(54:51):
open seven days a week, theonly time really to work on a golf
course like that is the only wayto do it is to shut down nine
hole for two days three days,and there now you've lost all that revenue.
Most of the work on a golfcourse takes place really early to swarms
of people out there and mowing andmoving pins and clearing leaves and clippings off

(55:14):
the course and doing all the thingsthat need to be done before the the
DEU sweepers come marching out there tryingto play there around at the crack of
dawn. The staff starts in thedark, usually on the first hole,
and they try to just stay aheadof the players who starts showing up shortly

(55:36):
thereafter. I see some of thaton early on early days when I'm out
at black Hawk played on the mondaysthat I go out to play with the
old retired guys in this group.They've got out there, and I get
there early. During the school yearI did. I may not get there
quite so early anymore, but duringthe school year I could be there by
seven thirty if it was not myturn to drive the kids to school,

(56:00):
and by eight o'clock if I evenif I had to, and I got
to see a lot. There aren'tthat many people going out that early,
and the ones who do don't mindseeing the equipment and the people out there
because they know they're just making agolf course better. But yeah, there
are a lot of people. They'relike bees, just swarming all over that
place, people mowing fairways, mowingthe greens, moving the pins, doing

(56:23):
all of that stuff, and justtrying to stay one step ahead of people
who expect that course to be ingreat shape when they get there. It's
an interesting business. And I knowa few people who own golf courses and
are general managers of golf facilities,And every time I get an opportunity when

(56:44):
they seem to be interested in talkingabout it, I ask them about the
business of golf because it fascinates me. And it's the more I learn about
it, the more I realize howmuch goes into it. From the outside
looking in, you just go tothe place and it looks great, and
if it doesn't look great, youknow that all the members of or a
private facility, or complaining to thesuperintendent and the players at a public facility,

(57:09):
or gripe into the pro shop aboutthe greens were too slow, or
the greens or patchy or whatever somethingflaw they've seen. And when you stop
and step take three steps back andlook at how hard it is to do
what they do and keep any golfcourse going, maybe you'll be a little
bit more, a little bit moreempathetic and a little bit more willing to

(57:32):
tolerate a little kind of garbage sometimes, if you see it, you know
that the course knows about it.If you see something that's not right,
they know, they know. OhI know. And Adam's been very polite
and not clicking in my ear thatwe need to take a break here.
On the way out, I'll tellyou about Belleville Meat Market featuring now they're
double black pepper pecon smoke sausage andtheir cheddar cheese pecan smoke sausage. You

(57:59):
know, I want to if youcould take a link of that stuff and
just take a link of each andsplit them right down the middle and then
smash the two together and make thatinto one, and you would have cheddar
cheese, double black pepper pecan smokesausage. That I may have just created
a new flavor. I don't knowto go with the two dozen plus they

(58:21):
already have, but that sounds prettygood to me, honestly. Bring out
the flavor not only of the sausage, but also of that cheese with all

(59:52):
on Facebook twenty four or seven.We'll get that information to them from them.
This is the Doug Fike Show.All right, welcome back to Dog
Pike Show on Sports Talk seven ninety. Thanks for listening to certainly to appreciate
it. I got a kick,I just I just told Adam right as

(01:00:12):
we came back. I went toget coffee during the most recent break,
not this one here, but theone before that, right after I talked
to Cliff. I guess it was, or no, it was before that
anyway, at the top of thehour maybe, and the pot was empty,
and the producer over there at KTRwho's producing for them this morning,
I forget, what's his name,Josh, Yeah, I think so yeah.

(01:00:35):
So Josh sells me, I'm aboutto go make a pot of coffee.
And I've been eagerly anticipating that potof coffee. And just as wild
horses started to play and we cameback on the air, Josh walked by
and held the coffee pot up.So now I've got to wait until the
bottom of the hour. I thinkI'll make it. I'm not one hundred
percent sure. Wow, Okay,I just got an email from Sloan said

(01:01:00):
started listening while I was dragging myson to baseball tournaments. I can relate
to that a couple of years ago. He likes to show. He said
he can listen to Cliff Weeb talkabout fishing for hours. I've done that
and I'm still not tired of talkingwith him about fishing. It's fantastic that
guy, he says. I livein the Corpus area and routinely fish to
surf with mixed success. What Iwould recommend to you, Sloan, is

(01:01:25):
that you get in touch with Cliffand tell him I would like to go
fishing with you, and I willpay you something for your time. But
I don't want to get in yourboat. I don't want you to even
launch your boat. I want youto take me to the beach and show
me what you know. And that'llbe if you like fishing. That's surf
down there, and who doesn't.That'll probably be some of the best money

(01:01:50):
you ever spent seven one three twoone two five seven ninety. Email me
Dougpike at iHeartMedia dot com. Letme go back to this drone. Oh
before I do, hold on,let me get back into my email or
my website stuff. I need togive you a leaderboard from the Senior PGA
which is ongoing up there in Frisco. And the leaderboard. I watched some
of this tournament yesterday, by theway, and that that golf course is

(01:02:13):
special. There's no doubt. There'stwo eight teens there, the biggest of
which can play. They must havefive or sixties set up up there,
because the shortest and longest is lightyears apart. But the deepest one of
those things goes is to seventy eighthundred yards, which to the PGA Tour

(01:02:35):
is like, hey, whatever almight have to hit, some might have
to even hit a five iron intoa par four green only count. So
Harrington, Patrick Arrington leading at sixteenunderpar by himself, Steve Stricker, two
back at fifteen by himself, StewartSink at thirteen a full sleeve off the
lead. Then and oh the ninewe had three nines. Robert Carlson,

(01:03:01):
Darren Clark and Ye Yang and thenStephen Alker, the guy who was defending
championship here at the Inspiraty not thatlong ago, is at eight under par
and it goes on from there.A very good field up there at that
place. And these guys are justso fun to watch because they've all they've

(01:03:23):
all made all the money they'll everneed, so they're they're playing for pride.
They're playing because that's what they knowhow to do. They haven't retired
and started designing golf courses yet forthe most part. They don't have their
own clothing lines to manage for themost part. Anyway, Oh good,
I might do this. Hold on, Adam, I'm gonna get you to

(01:03:45):
make a phone call and about Idon't know, at the bottom of the
hour, and I will I'll giveyou that number when we get to the
bottom of the hour. I'm gonnaget you to call Captain Scott and we're
gonna talk about drones a little bitbecause he's got lots to say. Actually,
let me give you this number.Have your pen ready, and what
I'm gonna do is give it toyou in kind of half half um code

(01:04:05):
and half numbers. Stand where didthis? Oh it's an email? Hold
on it. Oh, hold on, I'll just get his phone number here.
I'm stand by. I want todo this, I really do.
And I gotta go all the wayto SS there he is, Okay,
here's the number. It's gonna bea two eight one number. Then look

(01:04:29):
in the camera. Look at thecamera. Four or five and then that
and then that, that that andthen six and you might get there and
you might not what a stunt,come Scott, Yeah, I don't.
I don't want to give anybody.I don't want to give out his cell
phone number over the air. Idon't think he care. As a fishing

(01:04:50):
guy, he'd probably probably wishes Ihad, and he can do it if
he wants to. But I'm justnot gonna do that. So get him
on the air. And I dowant to talk about these drones with him.
I think that'll be fascinating because he'sgotten some kind of different opinions,
even from some game wardens, onwhat we can and can't do with drones,
and I want to get into that. I'd like I want to go

(01:05:11):
up and see I want to goup and see that facility in Frisco I
would even I would greatly like justa tour of that PGA building PG of
America Building. I'd like to seewhat goes on in there too. All
right, let me get that.I'll tell you what if you got him?
What's going on over there? Man, it's just dial seven, well,
ten digits, that's all it takes. Right, good heavens, let's

(01:05:34):
go. Right, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go look at this certain
I'd tell you how, I'm gonnaoccupy my time until he gets it back
here. I want to go backto the surf. Oh, I will
tell you this too. Is thathim? God? Come on, you're
just dialing now. I got anemail not an email able to text from
Missy Always, who works here withus and has a place down on the

(01:05:57):
beach, and she sent me youhad another beautiful picture. You had another
great picture. Oh there he isgood, Thank goodness. Let me get
my mouth. There we go,Captain Scott, what's up? Man?
That was funny real life. Iknow it's such a train wreck around here.
I'm giving your number out in codeand so, but you know,

(01:06:17):
dawned on me halfway through that youprobably would would appreciate it. If I
did, so, we'll do thatat the end of everybody's got my number.
Oh I know, man, Yeah, I'm the same way. So
here's the deal. Drones great tool, but not legal if you're driving down
the beach with ten fishing rods inyour truck. But if you had zero,
if he didn't have so much asa number ten long shanks, thin

(01:06:40):
wire hook in your entire vehicle,could you use a drone to look at
fish in the surf? Sure?Oh, I don't think that would be
a problem at all. Right,you just can't get fishing a found I've
got, you know, with thepodcast, I've got so many people asking
questions about drones because everybody's getting one. They're getting cheaper. Oh yeah,

(01:07:00):
And people ask about it all thetime. And so anytime I run into
a game, I got several gamewards. If I phone, you know,
yeah, say here and and I'llrun into them up here a speedy
stop or whatever. Every one ofmy run into I want I go a
hit and ask them about it.Yeah, And I've gotten so many different
answers about it, it's crazy.Wow. I mean, they they all

(01:07:24):
really don't know. Um, Imean they do, they know the basic
it's illegal to use it in thepursuit of game. Fish here are game,
but the nuances of the laws areopen for interpretation. Yeah, and
one of the things that was inyour email that really caught my attention is

(01:07:46):
the value of them with h withheat seeking technology to find dead deer and
that that seems like a tremendous plusfor the resource. But what you hear
about that, Well, it's legalin other states and there are guys who
are doing it as a business.Now. Yeah, it's just like tracking

(01:08:10):
dogs, you know. You know, we've called in the tracking dogs a
couple of times on the ranch tothat guy on Um, if I had
a drone and I have access toa drone the ranch owner has his son
has one that's got infrared on it, we're using it to chase a pig.
Yeah, it's perfectly legal to goup and look for pigs, right,

(01:08:30):
Yeah, because they're no go upand look for it deer right Wow,
even if you shot it, youcan't find it, right, it's
not legal. Okay. I thinkthat's gonna changefully, I think it'll probably
you know, catch up, youknow, the contents will catch up in
the laws that that that's a goodthing. Um, but it hasn't so

(01:08:54):
far, And don't get caught doingthat. I know people who are doing
it. Yeah, and I knowof people who have used that because it
makes sense. I mean, yougot a ten to fifteen twenty thousand dollars
buck down and you can't find it. Yeah, you know, I think
it's worthwhile. That's well, atthis point, I think it might be
worth the citation you get. Youknow. Yeah, if you're making a

(01:09:17):
living off those deer, if you'rein a ranch and you've got a two
hundred and twenty point buck that coststhis guy twenty grand on the ground,
you need to find it, youdo, and exactly. Yeah, So
I don't know. And honestly,watching some of the dog videos and stuff,
and some of them i've heard of, and things they're chasing deer around

(01:09:40):
the aren't mortally wounded. Sometimes youknow, there's a hit deer and it's
got blood trail, so let's putthe dog now. Well, I mean
that deer may have survived, andnow we're hunting a deer at night with
dogs. Yeah, that's not legal. That's legal. Yeah, for the
bettom of the source. Honestly,I think if you can find it with

(01:10:01):
the drone and then go in andtake care of business. However, you
have to to come to finish thejob that you started. That's probably in
the better interest than the deer thandidn't run them around with dogs on them,
I would have to be. Yeah, So what about on the fishing
side, let's talk about that,because there's guys who use them to take
baits out, do they not?And yeah, And that's another one of

(01:10:27):
those gray areas that they can't reallyanswer for me. You know, I've
said, well, they're not tryingto locate a fish. No, they're
just trying what they're using. They'reusing the drone to place a bait for
the fish. Is that legal?Well I've had some of them say yeah,
you know it is, but itisn't. And then I've had that

(01:10:48):
Yeah, I've had others say thatyou, oh, yeah, that's perfectly
fine. Wow. I mean thereneeds to be some clarification from the upper
end of part of walt life,and there also needs to be some legislative
things done to clarify it and toput let's put some more common sense into

(01:11:10):
it. Yeah, I get itwith the fish, and I've seen it
used on some YouTube videos where itwas used illegally. Yeah, and I
know that there's been several several YouTuberswho have been contacted by parks in the
wildlife after posting their videos where they'reout in a kite. Let's say they're
out in kayak. I'll just usethat one as Watch guy out in kayak

(01:11:33):
and he's flying his drone around ina marsh, and you see this mud
trail. He follows the mud trailwith the drone and there's a whole entire
school of reds pieceting away on shrimp. He battles over there, and the
next shot is from his little camerawho's GoPro on his head and catch it
up to this person starting to cast. Well, that's totally illegal. I

(01:11:58):
mean that by the letter of thelaw that it's illegal. But now,
say you're just looking around to seewhere the guts and yeah, get an
overview of you know, the layof the land. It's no different than
a satellite. Yeah, that's agood point. Okay, Well, now
I accidentally ran over a school offish while I was doing that, so
I have to ignore those. Youhave to go away from the fish.

(01:12:21):
Now you find your own what doI need to do here. Wow,
I want to mess. I meanI was on a TV show last year
with Ed Zaak, Yeah and CaptainI forgot what they called it, but
uh, Captain's Experiences, I think, And now I wouldn't come. We

(01:12:42):
had a camera boat following us around. Oh yeah, yeah, and they
were following us around and they shota lot of video. And one of
the videos that made the show wasI pointed out a school of fish in
front of us that Ed was goingto cast too, and they flew the
drone over the top of it,and Ed asked, and we got a
hook up on the drone and theywere just losing their minds. That was

(01:13:03):
the coolest thing in the world.Yeah, wow was it? Was it
legal? And really I don't know. You know, you'll know someday,
fish you'll hear one of these aboutthree o'clock in the morning. Yeah,
I saw the fish and the fishout to the drone. The drone didn't

(01:13:23):
point them out to think you getvideo. I'm gonna give you the benefit
of the doubt. Captain Scott housefishing down there. I got her.
I'm running late for a break housefishing man. Oh, it's all good.
I mean. Yeah, they've beenyou know, like everywhere else.
No wind oh, I know,holy cow, how are you? It's
just been foreign down to Corpus.It's zero in a lot of places.

(01:13:45):
Nuts. It's good and bad becauseeither they're starting to see the fish kills
now you know there there's been somepostings about it's all shad. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. They just don'tget enough fair. They're the pair of
heat in the mind. So asthings get a little tough, had'll roll
up and die. Yeah, they'rerolling up and die by them. Billions
I've heard, Yeah, I've seenpictures. Yeah, free Fort Matagorda and

(01:14:08):
drug pictures a little rare. Weneed a little easy. Be careful what
you wish for, will you?Yeah, don't don't say it again.
No, all right man. Thetarpan should be here soon. Yeah.
And Jack's are blowing up and bullReds are blowing up. Man. I
need to come down again, allright. I got the new boat now.

(01:14:31):
Oh that's right. I want totake a ride in that thing.
I love that hall. That's beautifulhole man, that's all my good man.
Yeah, it's doing exactly what youwanted, isn't it. Yep?
Big three Suzuki on the back ofit. Those twin props. Oh my
gosh, you'll go anywhere, I'llbet all right, man, I'm gonna
let you go. Cap'm Scott,Captain Scott. No, go ahead and
say your phone number as long asyou're here. I didn't do eight one,

(01:14:56):
Yeah do eight one four five zerotwo two zero. Yeah. If
anybody else need it, I canget it for you. Yeah. They
can get a hold of me onFacebook. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah,
we're not hard to find, honestly, are we hiding in plain sight?
All right, Kevin, I'll talkto you. Yeah, I'll talk to
you soon. Man, Thank you, Scott. All right, I'll see
you buddy. Audios. All right, we gotta take a little break.

(01:15:18):
Care and running kind of late.Shooter's Corner, Palmer Harvard, twenty Nights
Street in Texas City, owned byJerry and JT. K. If you
listened yesterday, you heard yet anothersatisfied customer who had called in a couple
of weeks ago to this show andhad a problem with a rifle and he
was gonna send it back to themanufacturer, and they talked about spending several

(01:15:42):
hundred dollars fixing it. He wasgoing to get it done at another gunsmith
locally, somebody. He said,it's a good reputation, and I'm sure
they do. In fact, Iknow who it was, and I'm I'm
ninety percent sure who it was,and yes, they do have a good
reputation. But they said he neededa new Bear earl, which would have
cost him a couple of hundred dollars, and so I said, take it

(01:16:03):
down to Jerry and Jay and seewhat they can do. He dropped the
rifle off, and I think itwas either the next day or maybe two
days later, he gets a call, Hey, it's ready. We just
ran a boor scope in there andwe saw some copper build up and so
we got it all out of thereand it ought to shoot like brand new.

(01:16:24):
And it does save that guy aton of money and a ton of
time because he took his gun toShooters Corner. If you're on the south
side of town and you're taking yourguns anywhere else, you probably are making
a mistake. I know some goodgunsmiths in other parts of the town too,
other parts of the city, butif you've got a real tough situation

(01:16:45):
with a gun and nobody else wantsto touch it. Try Jerry and JTK
down at the Shooters Corner. They'vegot guns. They got Ammo, shooting
supplies, optics, you name it. If it's for the shooting sports,
they have it. A great selectionof guns, great selection of Ammo.

dot com. Back acted the DougPike showty Fun Sports Talk seven ninety,
The Doug Pike Show, rounding thirdand headed home on this morning when I
forgot last night to move my alarmclock forward an hour. So I was

(01:17:30):
boy, I was Johnny jump upthis morning. Came in here in the
dark, Adam woodn't here. Ihad no, boy, what's going on
around here? This is crazy?Something's messed up. And it was me,
Hey, Royce, what's up man? Thanks for hanging on. Oh
hey, no problem, Doug,no problem at all. Brother. Hey
is gonna tell you? You knowyou were talking about the drone teange a
few minutes ago in your last segment, and so I'll hardly ever get to

(01:17:54):
go fishing anymore. So this morningI drove down the west end of Galveston.
Let me just say this. Thefishing was great, but to catch
was terrible. Were absent think greatnumbers. Uh, there was you know
a lot of people out there.Yeah, next to me. Guy next
to me is throwing croakers and hescratched out to keep and a shark.
And when that guy's doing that,it's just really slow. But one of

(01:18:16):
the things it was crazy is,you know, we were out there relatively
shallow fishing in the first gut andI heard drones and I looked up and
there goes baits. Man. Therewas a guy taking his baits from the
shore. Oh yeah, looked likepractically a quarter mile off and dropping off,
which I thought it was gonna belike worth you'd catch something on a

(01:18:39):
Memorial Day weekend that big out therein that part. Getting it through all
those people that are out there,that's a good point. Yeah, you
get hook up an nutter a mileout and a lot of those guys did
the drag baits that far? Andif that fish takes off left or right
and comes heading for the beach,hey, mays Jammy, just spool up
a bunch of guys with him.Huh, only cow. Yeah. I

(01:18:59):
was sitting there thinking, because youknow, they're the sharks. Where there
were a lot of sharks running backand forth with raining and nothing big,
just three and four foot get upand spinner sharks and stuff like that.
But anyhow, hopefully the evening,the evening bite, from what I understand,
it'd be quite a bit better.So I'm gonna go back out.
Yeah, I'm disappointed that you didn'tdo any good this morning because we had
just a good solid income and tideall morning and I saw it until about

(01:19:24):
nine thirty and night, and Iwas out there from daylight. I fished
an ankle deep water on top watersas there was beautiful rafts of bullet.
I mean they were off to theleft and right, started out with the
top water one to the fifty oneMr Mirrid dying down to a gold spoon
and down to a plastic and anarea. Peg man. That's all right.

(01:19:45):
It was time spent the great outdoorsand wealth. It was beautiful.
Let me just say that you didn'twant to go get you a bucket of
croakers. H No, I'm not, I'm not. I'm not I'm not
that desperate. I'll I just liveover hearing dicketson real close so I oh,
yeah, traffic and take it backdown for thee Now I'm a glutton
for punishment on fright again later.Yeah, I'll be right beside you.

(01:20:09):
If I lived in Dickinson, I'dbe there every day. Probably. Do
you remember back when that that seriesof um little things on Facebook and what
I was going around with, thatscreaming woman in the white cat that was
always on her nerves. Do youremember us at all? I put one
together once and put it out therewhere she was saying, she was saying,

(01:20:29):
I only fish with artificial lures,and the cat said, oh yeah,
what's in the yellow bucket? AndI love that. I love that.
Everybody can get that. Man,absolutely absolutely listening. Yeah, you
have a blessed rest of your weekend. Okay, man, thank you,
hanging on Royce. We'll see youybuddy. Audios. All right, let me,

(01:20:53):
holy cow, it's already nine fortyfour on this Memorial Day weekend.
At some point during your day,at some point during your day today or
tomorrow, when you're out having funwith your family and or just taking a
nap and you wake up for thenap, you got to take nice and
peacefully and quietly. Just pause fora few seconds and remember what Memorial Day

(01:21:16):
is here to commemorate. It's it'snot a fun holiday. Don't wish anybody
a happy Memorial Day. You're doingwhatever you're doing on the on the bones
of the men and women who diedfor this country, who died to keep

(01:21:38):
it peaceful. Around the world,we have been very fortunate not to in
practically two hundred years, have anykind of foreign invaders on our soil.
We've been very in a lot ofcountries around the world. Can't can't say
that it's been a while, butman, man, the sacrifices that this

(01:22:01):
country has made not only on behalfof ourselves, but on behalf of our
allies. That stuff runs deep.And this is the one weekend, the
one day Monday, specifically that wehonor the dead soldiers among us, the
dead who went to war and didthings they never thought they would have to

(01:22:25):
do in their lives. They sawthings that nobody should ever have to see
in their lives, and they didit because that was their job. And
we need to recognize them and besupportive of not only their memory, but
of their families, all their families. Every one of these people who died
in service of this country, theirfamilies were changed forever, and you can't

(01:22:48):
bring that back. You cannot unringthat bell for those people. So feel
for them and just remember that truea couple of minutes. I'm not telling
you to be down the whole.Actually you should be up. You should
be thrilled that there are people thatbrave in this world who would do that
for us, and just recognize them. Take a couple of minutes out of

(01:23:12):
your day, all right, wegotta take you a little breaker. On
the way out, I'll tell youabout. Oh, here's one way you
could celebrate this afternoon. If youif you've gotten out of the car,
you're not driving anymore, you don'tplan to drive for a good while.
Maybe you could pop the top ona bush light, cold and smooth and
the same great taste it's always had. It's an American style logger. What

(01:23:33):
else would would Anne Houser Bush putout right? Crafted to deliver the rewarding
finish we've all come to know andlove. So whether you're headed to the
bay or the lake, or thebeach front or you're gonna go to a
state park somewhere. Wherever you're goinghave a picnic somewhere. As long as
you're not driving anymore. Feel freeto have a pop or two, a

(01:23:57):
bush light or two this Memorial Dayweekend. Enjoy responsibly. Twenty twenty three

beautiful day it would be to goout and play a little golf if you're
up on the northwest side of town. Especially good place to go do that
would be the black Horse Golf Club, one of the nicest public facilities in

(01:25:29):
the region certainly, if not thestate. It always, it always gets
a lot of votes when people arechecking off daily fee courses and courses actually
because they have two at black Horse, the North and the South. Totally
different personalities as golf courses go,but both of them equally playable and fun

(01:25:49):
so long as you're paying attention towhat you're doing. If you're not having
as much fun as the rest ofthe golfers seem to be having, maybe
pausing go get a lesson down toofar into that giant practice facility they have
there at black Horse Golf Club.Instructors down there can help you with any
part of your game. And ifyou could squint and see all the way

(01:26:10):
down there, every now and then, you'd see a PGA Tour player down
there learning from some of the prosat the far end of that range.
Whether it's just you and a buddy, or you got two hundred people who
need to raise a lot of moneyfor a big charity all at once.
Black Horse can do that with thosetwo eighteen whole layouts. They're on Fried
Road, just a little way southof two ninety, very easy to find.

You can make yourself a tea timeright now, as a matter of
fact. Just do that and headthat way, hit a bucket of balls.
It'll be your turn. Black HorseGolfclub dot COM's website black Horse Golf
Club dot com. Try again.Oh I'm kicking you out early, Yeah,

(01:26:57):
go away, Doug. Is thatwhat I'm hearing? Subliminal hint?
Come on, man, Come onman? Who else says that? Another
old guy and way older than me? He was probably driving that Corvette when
I was born. Timing is everything. I've got a couple of little short
things I want to share with you, and then we'll wrap up. This

(01:27:20):
guy in Kentucky. Okay, he'sman, he's struggling, he's having a
hard time. He coasts into agas station just on fumes. Just thing's
barely working, he's barely got enoughgas. He rolls in there. What
the heck he's in there? Hebuys a lottery ticket while he's filling up.
Any one a million bucks. Theonly part of that that probably ever

(01:27:45):
could have happened to me would becoasted into a gas station on fumes,
And I wouldn't do that. Adam. How low do you let your gas
tank get before you? Oh you'rebusy. He's on the phone again.
I'll skip over that. Get thisand yet another survey done of people I
just absolutely cannot positively understand where they'refrom and what they're thinking. The state

(01:28:10):
that was named the best state forcamping despite also being voted the least safe
California, California. Now, I'msure they have some beautiful parks in California,
but I'd like to know who theyasked. And equally as questionable and

(01:28:33):
disturbing to me is that the stateranked most safe for camping. North Dakota
also ranked the worst for camping.So once again, it's just it just
proves that these surveys, honestly,they're fun to laugh at for me because

(01:28:58):
I just can't imagine who in theworld these people are surveying to come up
with answers like that. The onlything kind of cute this week out of
all that stuff I had going onwith fifty plus, and I didn't even
get the chance to use it onthat show. Over in Charlotte, North
Carolina, I'm ass you got friendsover there. They're letting the public name

(01:29:20):
a new street sweeper they've bought.And the finalist for the name are you
back? Are you back? Canyou listen to me now? Oh?
For God's sake, thank yous hadme? Yeah, I know, that's
okay, that's cool. You gottatake care of business. The final Charlotte,
North Carolina is letting the public namea street sweeper. There the finalists,

(01:29:43):
and I think two of these arepretty cool and one of them is
ridiculous. Cliopathra that's pretty good.That's the one for see. Yeah,
but you haven't heard the second onethough. If you're a guy who did
this song, oh, I'm lookingright at the guy, you'll know it
when I hear it. When Isay it, Sweep Caroline, I think

(01:30:04):
I like, see that's good too, isn't it? Yeah, Cleopathra,
I think his mind my favorite too. And the third one, this is
just some some kid who lives inthe basement somewhere trying to be funny,
but it's not working for me.Sweepy make sweep face. That's just juvenile,
isn't it? Zero creativity? Sobetween Clearapathra and sweep Caroline, which

(01:30:30):
do you're like Neil Diamond That's whothat wasn't Yeah, Cleopathra, I'm gonna
go with that as well. Seethat's the kind of thing that Houston could
do to get its get its peopleinvolved and have some fun. But we're
not buying a sweeper. We're notbuying a street sweeper. We're not buying
a pothole fixture. What would thatwould be a good one to name is
a machine that fixes potholes. Ican think of a couple right off hand,

(01:30:55):
but I can't even say them.It's kind of weird. Let's see
what Aaron's got an email here?I need to go check before we finish
up. I'm gonna get to thatpage real quick and see what he says.
He's got a waiting story. Questiongood info. Drones on the beach.
I don't know one, but illegalflying one around. I'm an old
school guy, just looking for signs. Oh, that's from this is from

(01:31:16):
earlier. He was asking me whenI told that story about hooking that cabbage
head on my mirror lure. AsI tried to swim out to the third
bar, he asked whether I hada life jacket on. Well, of
course not, because I was young, and I was bulletproof, and I
surfed a lot, and I wasprobably in arguably the best shape of my

(01:31:40):
life. Although as a waterfowl guide, by the time you got about midway
through a season and had carried allthose many decoys and wet rags into the
field and then all those geese anddecoys and wet rags out of the field
for about forty fifty days, youwere also in pretty good shake. No,

(01:32:01):
I didn't have a light jacket onwhat I wear one today, probably,
but maybe even not, because I'mstill comfortable in the water and I'm
smart enough not to just go crazy. And yeah, I'm not gonna panic.
I'm just gonna float until I canget back to shore easily without exerting

(01:32:24):
too much energy. I'll drop myrod and reel I can get another one
of those all right, Memorial Dayweekend. The music's about to stop.
That means I've got to stop.Get outside, please. It's gonna be
a beautiful week. And they tookaway all that rain forecast for tomorrow.
By the way, I didn't mentionthat, so we're clear sailing at least
through Tuesday and maybe beyond. Getoutside, have some fun with your family,

(01:32:45):
and remember why we get to havetomorrow off. That's it for me, Audios.
