Biggest and oldest boat show in the southwest




The annual Houston International Boat, Sport, and Travel Show begins Friday, Jan. 2 at the NRG Center in Houston, and continues through Jan. 11. This is the 60th year for the show.

The show is an eagerly awaited event by Houston and southeast Texas sportsmen because it gives boaters and anglers an opportunity to see and touch, compare prices and features, and talk with experts about the newest technological advancements in boats, motors and fishing gear.

About 450 marine dealers will be showcasing freshwater and saltwater fishing boats. Ski boats, pontoon boats and even yachts big enough to live on will be available for inspection. Kayak dealers will be there to show the latest designs and answer questions about getting started in fishing from the sleek little craft.

Fishing tackle manufacturers and retailers; camping, recreational vehicle dealers; fishing guides and outfitters from different lodges; and daily fishing seminars by the experts in their field will all be at NRG center. This year’s shows fills 16 acres with booths and exhibits.

Fishing Report from TPWD (Apr. 24)

GOOD. Water slightly stained; 70 degrees; 3.49 feet below pool. Navigate with caution to avoid sandbars and stumps. Bass are on points and drains in shallow water spawning, and some are in a post spawn biting crankbaits and Carolina rigs. Some topwater along the grass edges. Crappie are fair in the shallows near stumps and fair on the brush piles. Some crappie are spawning near cypress trees, wade anglers can target these. White bass are schooling on main lake points but not surfacing yet. Catch some with jigs, minnows, crankbaits and jigging spoons. Catfish are slowly moving back to the points. Report by Captain Lynn Atkinson, Reel Um N Guide Service. Shad spawn is in full swing. Bass are good keying on hard clay points, grass edges and flooded timber with swim jigs, chatterbaits, topwater spooks or pop-r’s. Offshore bite is 10-20 feet on hard spots and flats, points and creek channel swings using crankbaits, Carolina rigs, shaky heads and dropshots. Crappie have finished spawning in 12-20 feet of water on brush piles and standing timber. Report by Captain Hank Harrison, Double H Precision Fishing.
