A basic kayak can cost as little as $200.Keill takes his kayak into bayous and out in the bay and slightly offshore.“You can get in extremely shallow water,” Keill said. “You can go where boats can’t.”His favorite catch is redfish and he often finds them near Freeport, Galveston and Kemah, he said. He also fishes for flounder, mackerel and trout.In June, he almost caught a 24-inch flounder, but the fish made a surprise last-minute effort and got away.“He was crafty,” Keill said. “He let go of the hook.”tony Keill casts his line while kayak fishing in salt Bayou in san Leon.SOLD!Contact me with all your Real Estate needs.Jim RosenfeldBROKER ASSOCIATECircle of Excellence Award WinnerHall of Fame MemberTexas Monthly Magazine Five Star Realtor 2012-2018Trulia and Zillow Five Star RatingCertified SIRVA Relocation Specialist713.854.1303Jim.Rosenfeld@Sothebyshomes.com“My exceptional Galveston team is marketing premier properties from the beaches to the bay — from historic treasures to high-rise condos!”WE ARE YOUR REALTOR®!PIRATES COVE | 13821 Cutlass Lane3-4 BEDROOMS | 2.5 BATH | ±2,342 SQ.

He encourages other kayakers who fish to go with a buddy and keep an eye on the weather forecasts.Lance Zahorski fishes across the United States in kayaks as part of his business. The Angleton resident owns Line Cutterz, a business that makes and sells an adjustable ring that cuts fishing lines. It also fits nicely on a kayak framed seat.Zahorski also trains people how to paddle a kayak and how to fish in a kayak.“Going on a pond or lake is easiest,” he said. That’s because the water isn’t moving as it would be in a river or ocean current.But Zahorski loves to go beyond the breakers, that point in the Gulf where he can take a kayak beyond the cresting waves to smooth water, he said.He catches and releases fish, unless he’s seeking just enough fish for dinner, Zahorski said. Most kayak anglers do the same.And sometimes Zahorski encounters intelligent life.“It’s pretty awesome when you see a dolphin,” he said.

Learning to relax with hypnosis has helped me with my temptations. I have a great amount of energy and don’t feel the need for an afternoon snack to get me through the day. I love to walk past the vending machines at work and not feel tempted for anything—especially CHEETOS®. I Turned 45 and My Stress Level Peaked My stress caused me to overeat. My blood pressure and cholesterol were high. I had no energy and my weight kept going up. I did not want to live my life this way anymore. Size 8 Success and a Trip to Jamaica! My husband and I traveled to Jamaica to celebrate our 30 year anniversary and I wore a bikini for the first time in 10 years! I couldn’t have done it without hypnosis mentally and physically preparing me for such an adventure—and the rest of my life as a naturally thin person! I Was Out of Options I knew I needed a different approach to lose weight and regain my health. My husband referred me for the free screening to see if I would be a good candidate for hypnosis. Nothing else seemed to work - diets, pills, medical advice...all failed. Goodbye HBP & Bad Cholesterol This has been the best solution to every major issue in my life. No more blood pressure or cholesterol medication and my numbers are staying low. The Skinny Me Exercise is no longer a chore, rather something I look forward to and enjoy. I’m sleeping better and have more energy. I know I’m on a path to the “skinny me” I want to be! Easier Than I Ever Thought The most amazing part is that I have gained enough confidence to apply for a job I had only dreamed about. Self-doubt always held me back. Leti has been so great! She is always positive and helps you believe in yourself. This is truly life-changing! Find Out for Yourself In order to determine if you can be accepted as a client, you need to attend a free 30 minute screening. It's fun and informative. We will give you an honest and in-depth explanation of hypnosis and evaluate your situation. If we do not feel hypnosis will benefit you, we will tell you so. There are several programs available and individual results may vary. Stick-With-It-Guarantee No matter how many sessions you may need to attain your desired results and goals, we stay with the problem until you are happy. Your Outcome May Vary. Results Not Typical. 28 COASTMONTHLY.COM / August 2018‘I wanna catch the big fish’Island piers attract amateur and obsessed anglersStory by John Wayne Ferguson Photos by Kelsey WallingIt was the night after the summer solstice and even at 9 p.m. the sky west of Galves-ton still was faintly blue. A southeast wind was blowing, an advance guard for summer storms that would come later in the weekend.It wasn’t the best night for fishing, but at the Gal-veston Fishing Pier, 9001 Seawall Blvd., that didn’t seem to matter. To the east, more than 100 people stood along the 1,000-foot-long wooden pier under light towers, the bright fluorescents shining down reminiscent of a football stadium.In Galveston, the Friday nights lights are cast over the Gulf of Mexico. COASTMONTHLY.COM / August 2018 29Omar Mancillas, far right, looks up after catching a bull shark while onlookers take photos and admire the catch at galveston Fishing Pier in galveston. Once Mancil-las realized what he caught, most of the anglers on the pier helped him reel it in. After pictures and admiration, Mancillas released the shark back into the gulf.Next >
