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 […]

*Late Report from Memorial Day weekend. Early this winter I attended a seminar showcasing some of the best inshore guides Texas has to offer. Among this fish porn and tactic talk one guide mention something that stuck with me, the phrase “fishing when you’re not fishing”. The phrase sounded unfamiliar […]
When I saw the wind forecasts early in the week for Easter weekend I saw a challenge. I am no stranger 20-30mph winds, especially on the Coastal Bend during spring. Over the years I’ve fished in lot of tough conditions. I can recall one trip last year when a buddy, […]
Evidence of the arrival of spring is everywhere: flip-flop weather, schools of newly hatched fry, herds of hungry fish prowling the shallows and tropical storm-like winds. Finding a reliable pattern during spring, more than any other season, is tough. Conditions are highly inconsistent and fish behavior mirrors the unpredictable weather. […]
If you just woke after a long state of cryopreservation, i.e., frozen in time, and were placed on the water you’d never know its mid-February here on the Texas coast based on the weather and conditions. I don’t think anyone could have predicted that the water temperatures would be warm […]
Contrary to my lack of my posting activity I have been on the water several times recently, but there hasn’t been much to post. Fishing has been slow over the last couple of weeks because of the sporadic conditions; the weather has been all over the place. I have caught […]
Santa has delivered Christmas early this year. Big trout fishing has been good earlier than normal. It wasn’t until later in the winter last year when the big girls started showing up in good numbers but this year the winter, mud and shell, pattern has started early. The deep water reef bite […]
I was eager to get on the water after the cold front that blasted our coast earlier this week lowered the water levels and water temperature. The water levels have been running a little high lately, which has scattered the fish and made them hard to see. Tony, a friend […]
I have been out several times since I last posted a fishing report with varying levels of success. I hit several locations including areas in East Bay, West Bay, and spots as far west as Freeport. Fishing has gone from good last week to downright slow early this week even […]
Greg and I started the morning bright and early at a spot we hadn’t had the chance to check out this year. We were interested to see if we could pick up trout shallow along with some redfish. We started off throwing topwaters in 1′-3′ of water on main bay […]
