Big trout season is upon us here on the Texas Coast with the passing of the last couple cold fronts. I’ve been on the water half a dozen times since I last posted. The fishing has been typical of winter fishing. Some days you catch them. Other days you work […]
Speckled Trout
The fishing has been slow last few weeks mainly due to my indecision and obstinacy. I dislike transition periods because I have a hard time changing tactics and targeting different species when my focus has been so narrow. For three quarters of the year my concentration is singlar: redfish. When […]
I often get asked, which color(s) should I use? Color selection is not a concrete science as with most fishing-related questions. As fishermen we’re philosophers, mind-readers, and theorists. We develop ideas based on past experience from what has and has not worked. This video is my take on color selection […]
Fishing has been flat-out ridiculous on the Upper Texas Coast. Huge schools of redfish everywhere you look. The water has cleaned up nicely with the passing of the last few cold fronts too making the fish a lot easier to spot and catch. It’s been a sight fisherman’s dream in […]

But beyond our affinity for angling our jones is swinging a graphite stick to present hooks dressed with fur and feathers at […]
A trip month’s in development has finally concluded last weekend. Mark and I planned a trip to the Land Cut for some time now. Mark hasn’t lived in Texas very long and his first sight fishing experience was a trip he made to Land Cut last fall with his buddies […]
I spent a few days in the Coastal Bend with my old roommate, Austin, last week. The weather was hot but so was the fishing. We caught good numbers and quality fish at a few different locations. The first day in the area we got a late start and fished […]
I spent three days in hypersaline water’s of the Lower Laguna Madre last week targeting one of my favorite game fish: robalo commonly referred to as snook here in the states. Snook are aerobatic, strong, extremely aggressive, and their willingness to eat topwater plugs is unrivaled. I make a few […]
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 […]
