Here is a compilation video of footage I took over the last few weeks. All of the footage has one central theme skinny water fly fishing for redfish in the marshes around the upper Texas coast. And when I say skinny I generally mean water less than 1′ deep. Most […]
Redfish
After watching the low tides all day I decided to go out for a couple of hours this evening. I landed 4 reds on the fly rod between 21″ and 29″ on the white grass shrimp pictured below.
Here’s a few random photos from some recent outings. Also, I had another great day on the water this morning with the fly rod. My two biggest fish went just under 28″ and weighed over 8lbs. The first two fish I’ve fought that took me into my backing. I didn’t […]
What a difference a few inches of water makes. I have been on the water a few times recently with various levels of success. One area I fished the tide had fallen enough to make fishing downright tough; I had a difficult time maneuvering through the marsh because of the […]
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 […]
After keeping a close eye on the winds and water levels all day I had enough with being stuck indoors so I decided to head out for a quick evening trip close to home. I decided to pack light and only tote along my fly rod, fly box, and a […]
Sam, John, and I returned yesterday from our shortened trip to the Lower Laguna Madre. We made the trek south on Thursday afternoon with visions of pristine water and hungry linesiders, but our foresights never came to realization. Instead, we were greeted with dirty water and exceedingly low water levels. […]
Fishing has been outstanding. I’ve been all over the map here on the Upper Texas Coast, from east to west, and have found redfish schooled up shallow at every location. It has been very easy to find them. Just look for birds hovering, bait fleeing, or listen for the distinct […]
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 […]
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 […]
