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.

Sight Fishing
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 […]
My day started early Saturday morning; a quarter before 4:00am is when I awoke to the clamor of my siren-like alarm. I was up and out of bed like a fire alarm was actually going off. Excited. The plan for the day was to hit the water with a friend […]
When I think of Louisiana a few things quickly come to mind: casinos, Mardi Gras, Cajun food, and thousands of acres of ripe estuaries. No place in the US boasts more marshland than the Louisiana Delta. The Delta is a creation of the many creeks and rivers that dump their […]
Here’s my latest film. All footage was shot at various locations on the Middle and Upper Texas Coast over this past summer and fall. Comment, like, share, enjoy. Also posted on youtube for the people having trouble viewing it on vimeo…

The most recent cold front is a reminder that we’re nearing the end of the redfish explosion in the marshes on the Texas Coast. Over the last few weeks most of the shrimp has migrated to the Gulf leaving fin-fish as the only remaining forage available for a ravenous redfish. […]
The fruits of labor? Maybe it should be the fruits of a damn good time yesterday. Had an epic day sight casting yesterday. Lost count of how many redfish were landed but upwards of twenty fish myself alone. Video(lots of it), photos, and report coming soon. Doesn’t get much fresher […]
Fished a few new marshes last weekend and the fishing was phenomenal. Had backing reds swimming around me all day long. Got bored catching one at at a time on the fly rod and I couldn’t resist… I also shot a bunch of pics but I haven’t had a chance […]
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 […]
