The arrival of fall begets many changes for anglers on the Texas coast. Artic blasts bring relief from the scorching summer heat, but more importantly, the objects of our fascination begin to fatten up for winter when food sources will be scarce and water temps are too low to warrant […]

I have been blessed to be raised on the Texas Gulf Coast my entire life. Born in the Houston metropolis I was introduced to saltwater fishing at an early age. Not as early as some, but I have been wetting a line in saline waters for well over a decade […]
I spent three days in the mud puddles redfish call home last week. The fishing was lights out. The catching was pretty good too. Lots of big reds to 31″ schooled up or cruising the shallows in search of an easy meal. Although we encountered many picky reds the sheer […]
I was on the water a few times over the last week and the fishing was pretty slow overall. Not a whole lot of fish landed or spotted. You know the fishing has been bleak when some of the most respected guides in the area are having a tough time […]
I spent some time on my home waters on the upper coast this past weekend. The weather and conditions were near perfect: cool weather, overcast skies, light winds, and plenty of bait everywhere; conditions don’t get better, especially for surface plugs. I checked out a couple of areas that I […]

As much as I like the feeling of a tug at the other end of my line, fishing has much more meaning to me than just catching. One of the beauties of the sport is that it takes on many meanings all at once. It can be serene or stressful, […]
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 […]
If you watch carefully you can see some of the redfish swimming in the water before the hookup. I also spooked quite a few fish in this video that I ran over and had no idea they were there despite how shallow it was.
This past weekend was refreshing: the weather was nice, the fishing was good, and the company was great. Raymond and I fish together fairly regularly since I moved back to Houston this past summer but we’ve missed one of the fishing trio that we grew accustomed to growing up. Since […]
