Greg, John, and I hit the marsh last week and found several big schools of redfish early before the water level got too low. Bite lasted only a couple of hours because it was already mud slogging low and ripping out quickly. We had just enough water to float when […]
Fly Fishing
Here’s some pictures from Doug and I’s day on the water yesterday. We launched out of Galveston in Doug’s Maverick to ice cream conditions and fished several nearshore rigs. The water looked beautiful. We were in search of tackle and rigging testers and we found a few. No sightings of the Silver King but we did […]
Doug and I fished West Galveston Bay this morning. I caught a couple of reds on the gold spoon fly before the wind picked up and made fly fishing tough. We also caught several reds and a few trout drifting throwing TTF Flats Minnows in morning glory, mumpy glo, and […]
If I had to describe my day of fishing yesterday in one word it would be phenomenal. My best day of fishing ever. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had days when I’ve caught more and bigger but this was on another level. I have never seen so many schools of […]
Today was a sight fisherman’s dream. Schools of redfish in shallow water gorging with reckless abandonment completely oblivious to their surroundings. Each school’s location given away by the eye in the sky. Flocks or single seagulls hovering above a particular locale revealed the whereabouts of active schools from several hundred […]
If effort equates to results yesterday would have been a day of epic proportions. Yesterday was a marathon, literally. I fished the marsh in excellent conditions: strong outgoing tide, light winds, and an abundance of bait. I was out on the water chunking and twitching a topwater well before sunrise. […]
Went searching for redfish this morning on the main bay shorelines of West Galveston Bay. I saw some nervous bait close to the shore and made a ill-advised cast right on top of the bait. As soon as my topwater hit the water my lure went under ever so slightly. […]
Get your mind out of the gutter. When you read the title of this post you were probably thinking about something completely unrelated, but I was refering to catching redfish. This is a compilation of footage I took one morning out on the flats near Rockport, Texas. It includes three […]
In this video David Norris catches his first redfish on the fly. The story behind this video and the reason for our excitement, mine in particular, was we had a few shots at backing redfish on the fly rod this morning but we failed to connect. It was enthused and relieved […]
Me, Ryan, and David had a few hours to burn yesterday morning, so we decided to fish the marsh in hopes that the lower tides made the redfish more visible and accessible. We found plenty of fish very shallow but they weren’t as aggressive as they have been. We saw […]
