    Coker Boys fish Matagorda back lakes

    We love fishing the back lakes of Matagorda Island for trout and redfish. Typically, we start off fishing the shorelines with top-waters. My personal favorite is a bone Super Spook Junior. As the day heats up, we either wade out to deeper water or set up on the cuts and drains. Typically we change out…

    Seadrift, TX. Report

    Another fun day on the water! We were blessed in another area of our bay system. We located rafts of mullet and glass minnows early, and walked into a bite. Being on the backside of the full moon, the bite tappered off mid morning. With just a few redfish playing in the early afternoon. Soft…

    Port O’Connor Bull Reds

    Group #3 of days 5 and 6 wanted to battle bull reds and flounder gig on their trips. It wasn’t exactly calm at the jetties over the two days, and the wind gave them fits last night. But, they managed to battle reds up to 45” and stick a few flounder. This capped off a…

    Group #2 of days 3 and 4 had a pretty good go at wade fishing. Yesterday we started in the dark fishing over sand/grass hoping the moon would bring us a couple of big fish. Biggest fish we had was 23”. We left that and found solid trout and redfish on oyster reefs in SA…

    This year marks 11 years this group has been fishing with us. This year they are on a 8 event, 6 day trip trading out between family and friends. These boys elected to flounder with Rick Hammond, Night Stalker Guide Service a couple nights between trips. Sight Casting yesterday until mid morning was tough with…

    “As far as memories, that’s probably one of the best…I guess because I had both my boys and it was my son’s bachelor party,” said Greg Heine, who caught the large fish. The record tarpon weighed 247.6 pounds and measured 81 inches long. The group was fishing for bull reds and sharks in the Port…

  • Weekend fishing POC and Seadrift

    Weekend fishing POC and Seadrift

    We checked in to the Reel Time Lodge in Seadrift mid-afternoon Friday prepared to chase redfish until dark.  We put the boat in the water and, nothing.  Motor would start up fine but not keep running. Perhaps we were ahead of ourselves and jinxed our luck by already planning to have Bubba’s cook our catch.   Well,…

  • Low Tide Redfish

    We have seen some ups and downs on the Middle Texas Coast lately.  Naturally our lakes are holding trout and reds on a consistent basis.  If you try to avoid the crowds in the more popular lakes, it has been anything but consistent.  If the water is up, the trout bite is on in almost…

    Seadrift Fishing Report December 7, 2016

    What was supposed to be a sight casting trip, turned into us chasing trout first thing in the morning, hoping by mid-day the sun would pop out. Lucky for us we landed on some solid trout right off the bat. Putting several fish in the box over 20″ and capping it off with some respectable…

    San Antonio Bay fishing report

    With a steady 10-15 mph north wind, we decided to take our chances down south of SA Bay. Days like this one with cloudy skies, and cool temps had us all hoping for some big trout action. Our first couple wades came up with just a couple solid trout and a few nice reds. Then…
