Austin gave me a shout Thursday evening to see if I had any plans for the weekend. His birthday was in a few days, so he wanted to celebrate like any avid angler wants spend their day of birth, on the water. My plans were to fish for the next […]
Redfish
I’m going to try something new. I have compiled a ton of photos on my hard drives that I haven’t posted. Starting today I’m going to post a weekly photo every Monday with a back-story about how and where the photo was taken. Hopefully this will motivate me to post […]
Got bored with catching redfish one at a time so I decided to double the fun. Fishing’s been good…real good lately. I was throwing TTF’s new Killer-Bilt rod and TTF Shiney Hiney in gold with a brown shrimp trailer on my baitcaster. On the fly rod I was throwing a […]
At first glance the muddy flats of the Upper Texas Coast aren’t exactly enticing to a sight fisherman. Let’s not kid ourselves these aren’t the pristine flats of Andros, Belize, The Keys, or even the Lower Coast. Our marshes are unwadeable. That is, unless you enjoy trekking through waist-deep mud.

I fished the Lydia Ann Fly Masters tournament out of Aransas Pass last Saturday. The weigh was at Tarpon Shores Marina, formerly Crab Man Marina. The new facilities are very nice compared to the old Crab Man Marina. The 2012 beneficiary was Casting for Recovery. It’s a catch and release […]
The fishing has been good on the Upper Texas Coast when I have been able to get out between the storms that have been rolling through from the Gulf. I’ve got rained-out a few times lately, but I’m not complaining because we need the rain. Especially after the historic drought […]
Another trip to the Lower Laguna Madre in the books. Over a week later I’m still recovering from the long, arduous but satisfying trip. Six of us made the trek, five from Houston and one from Corpus. The group included four newbies who had never fished the hypersaline lagoon in […]
I had the privilege to fish the Casting for a Cause tournament a couple of weeks ago. This was my second year attending the event and it didn’t disappoint. Lots of fun hanging out with fellow anglers. The drinks, food, and prizes weren’t too shabby either. I arrived Thursday night […]
I had the pleasure to spend the extended Memorial Day weekend down south with friends. The Lower Laguna is on my short list favorite places to fish, but I have a love/hate relationship with the area. The water is clear, the fish are plentiful, but the conditions are always unpredictable, […]
The second stop of the Lone Star Kayak Series was last weekend. A few anglers were able to bring heavy weights to the scales. The reoccurring theme among the participants is lots of spooky fish. Most of the anglers saw more fish than there were able to catch. Despite the […]
