Title
Oral History Interview of Cliff Webb
Description
Longtime Baffin Bay fishing guide Cliff Webb talks about his father, who was the first game warden in Baffin Bay and the Laguna Madre, and the illegal gill netting that took place. He recalls sight casting into the clear waters and the uniqueness of the serpulid reefs, and recounts some excellent days catching big trout. Webb describes in detail the changes that have occurred over time in the bay, including the size of the big trout, the decline in water quality, the loss of shrimp and crabs, and the long road to restoring Baffin Bay. He also discusses promoting catch-and-release among his clients and tells some fish stories.
