My buddy John and I have talked about fishing the Everglades for big snook for years. Both of us have caught our fair share of Texas Linesiders (see photos below), but the primitive snook and tarpon-laden backcountry of southernmost tip of Florida has always peaked our interest. When I envisioned […]
Trout
Braided line is an acquired taste. My first experience with braid, like the first time I tried oysters on the half shell, was unpalatable. The texture and feel was foreign. I quickly developed a hatred for the no-stretch, sharp, and hard-to-tie line. It took me a few years to muster […]
Speaking of year-end recaps. Here’s a video Brandon, a friend of mine, put together. It’s a recap of his 2012 fishing adventures. Me and a few of my photos appear throughout the video.
I love fishing new water. I make a point to fish new areas as often as possible. Fishing the same worn-out spots becomes monotonous to me; that’s why I rarely fish an area more than a few times a year. Ever since I bought my first kayak I’ve had this […]
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 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, […]
I have not been very motivated lately due to the lackluster fishing and conditions on the Upper Coast. This winter has been slow compared to the last few years. We’ve had plenty of warm weather and rain here in Southeast Texas. I’m not complaining. Our bays desperately need the precipitation. […]
Jason, Mark, and I spent a few days in Matagorda, Texas last week fishing several new areas. Fishing started off slow in the mornings but we managed to catch a decent number of trout late in the day on topwaters. All of our fish were in the 16-20″ range. We […]
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 […]
Brandon and I spent some time in the Texas Hill Country last week filming and fly fishing. We met Brandon’s buddy, Dan Cone, who guides on the Guadalupe River and works at Action Anglers during the winter. Brandon and Dan are friends from when the guided in Colorado together. Dan […]
