Corpus Christi

I had the privilege to fish the Casting for a Cause tournament a couple of weeks ago. This was my second year attending the event and it didn’t disappoint. Lots of fun hanging out with fellow anglers. The drinks, food, and prizes weren’t too shabby either. I arrived Thursday night […]

Another rarity. I hit the water for a few hours on the way home from Corpus Christi, TX yesterday morning. I managed to catch a lower slot red that was missing one of it’s eyeballs. This is the second time I’ve landed a red that was missing an eye. The […]

I went to Corpus Christi for the weekend to fish the 4th annual Casting for a Cause Charity Tournament. I spent three days on the water fishing around the Coastal Bend and had a blast. The catching was phenomenal one day and poor the rest. For once it was good […]
