Here’s a few pics I took over the weekend when the fishing was slow…
Marsh
Here’s some more pics from the weekend…
I planned to the fish the second stop of the XRT kayak trail this past Saturday but that intention was axed when news arrived late Friday night that the tournament was postponed due to the conditions. Unfavorable wind forecasts forced tournament organizers to reschedule the tournament for late August. I […]
Friday: I met up with Jaime to fish a marsh I hadn’t seen since last year. It’s about an hour paddle via kayak to get to this marsh. I told him the night before that we were going to make a long paddle and to be prepared. I don’t think […]
We finally turned the corner from spring and got a break from the winds last week. But the break comes at a price in the form of the heat. Summer here on the Texas coast has arrived. This is the most consistent time of year for an early morning bite […]
In fishing, there are not many things that pique my interest more than exploring new areas. I get tired of fishing the same water, so I am constantly looking for new places to fish up and down entire Texas coastline. Satellite images are a modern-day Lewis and Clark’s compass. I […]
Spring is the most inconsistent time of the year. The weather is all over the place and the wind is almost always blowing hard one direction or the other, but sometimes things come together. Most of this footage was captured a few weeks ago when a late season cold front […]

The advent of winter sparks change to the coastal bays and estuaries. The fall patterns of fish relating to shallow water, under the birds, or in the marsh become less reliable as their metabolism slows down and food becomes scarce. As a result fish feed less regularly compared to the […]
