The article discusses the author's experience while fishing on the Texas coast along with Captain Dan Poffenberger. Both of them loved free-shrimp-fishing with live shrimps. Poffenberger had been successfully practicing free-shrimp fishing on the Texas coast. According to Poffenberger, trout is easier to catch as compared to redfish. When the string of the fishing equipment becomes tight, it indicates that a fish has been caught. The availability of fish depends on the strength of water current. During strong tidal flow, lower number of fishes are found. According to Poffenberger, while using baits, the hook should be heavy, and lighter colored shrimps should be used.
