Brandon came in town to fish with me this past weekend. He picked the perfect weekend. Conditions could not have been better. On Friday we fished a numbers spot. I wanted to give him a taste of what the Upper Coast has to offer. The day started off a little […]
Fly Fishing
The weekend started off with an early morning stroll down the beach… …with a pimped out canoe in tow and a convoy of trucks and skiffs following not far behind. We stumbled across a creature washed up and struggling to find it’s way back into the water. Brandon slammed on […]
I snapped this photo during a recent camping trip on Padre Island National Seashore. A big group of us made the trek down beach. We fished the beach and bay side. Report to follow.
Our annual voyage to the 60 mile stretch of uninhabited beachfront will commence tomorrow morning. I’m looking forward to spending time off the grid with a group of my fellow honks. Photos and another highlight video coming soon…
I bought a new fly box for a trip I have planned early next year. My goal is to completely fill the box before I leave with different patterns and colors to try out. I’m hoping this motivates me to spend more time at the vise over the coming months. […]
Spent a few days in the Lower Laguna last week with a big group of kayakers. Conditions weren’t ideal but we made the best of what we were given. Not many snook caught this trip but here’s one Don caught in the lights with the fly rod.
Austin gave me a shout Thursday evening to see if I had any plans for the weekend. His birthday was in a few days, so he wanted to celebrate like any avid angler wants spend their day of birth, on the water. My plans were to fish for the next […]
Got bored with catching redfish one at a time so I decided to double the fun. Fishing’s been good…real good lately. I was throwing TTF’s new Killer-Bilt rod and TTF Shiney Hiney in gold with a brown shrimp trailer on my baitcaster. On the fly rod I was throwing a […]
At first glance the muddy flats of the Upper Texas Coast aren’t exactly enticing to a sight fisherman. Let’s not kid ourselves these aren’t the pristine flats of Andros, Belize, The Keys, or even the Lower Coast. Our marshes are unwadeable. That is, unless you enjoy trekking through waist-deep mud.

I fished the Lydia Ann Fly Masters tournament out of Aransas Pass last Saturday. The weigh was at Tarpon Shores Marina, formerly Crab Man Marina. The new facilities are very nice compared to the old Crab Man Marina. The 2012 beneficiary was Casting for Recovery. It’s a catch and release […]
