During the summer months I usually get out and off the water early, but the tides weren’t quite lining up for an early morning bite around the Upper Coast this past weekend. The tides at every spot I contemplated were identical no matter how north or south I looked on […]

The fishing has been great here on the Upper Coast. Here’s one of many fish landed this morning.
I found some big reds cruising shorelines the marsh and a few schools in open water. They liked crab spoon I got in a fly swap earlier this year.

There’s no better cue that winter has passed quite like the surface exploding spectacle of a slob redfish pulverizing a top water plug or the sight of an upper slot brute with half its anatomy above the water’s surface. If the sight or sound of redfish prowling the shallows isn’t […]
