Change of plans this morning, we were going to head to the rocks, but since the wife couldn’t make it we decided to wade. Tide is still up a bit, but the trout were still holding over knee to thigh deep sand pockets. Topwatersand Strawberry Wine was the bait of choice with Waterloo Rods, and…

It was a fun few days in Port Mansfield. Redfish were everywhere but trout proved harder to find. Walked a lot of knee deep water sight casting to schools. We did find a few solid trout and one trophy mixed in with the pods. On the road home to try our hand a sight casting…

Capt. Nathan Beabout Fishing Report October 1
It started and ended with a bang. The in between was a bit of a grind. We got on a good trout bite at first light with several 17-20″ fish landed. From 11am to 1pm was a bit slow, still managed a few keeper fish on each wade, then after some lunch we jumped back…

Capt. Nathan Beabout Fishing Report 09/28/2017
Something about a North wind in late September always seems to turn the bite up a notch. Fishing has been awesome, and today was especially good for quality of fish. Had 8-10 fish over 23 inches and a couple of reds mixed in.

The trout were acrobatic today. Jumping like skip jack the whole fight! The bite was a lot more aggressive today over thigh deep sand pockets, and the Strawberry Wine super model was the ticket today.

Fishing Report 9/22/2017
The trout bite was a little off today, there didn’t seem to be a consistent pattern. Fish were not concentrated in certain depths like the last few days. Knee deep to waist deep had bites with some trout over the 20″ mark. Maybe over the next few days with the stiffer winds, we may see…

Wade Fishing for Trophy Speckled Trout
Today’s trip went just as I hoped. We walked the same stretch of shoreline as the day before, knowing there was big fish around. From 6-9am the bite was aggressive, with several 20-23″ trout. Then, this healthy 26″ popped a DSL pumkinseed soft plastic.

Great Day Catching Redfish on Bugg Lures
I think today sight casting reds with a good ‘ol client was among the top 3 best days. After trolling a few ponds with little to no redfish, we found ourselves powerpoled down in front of a drain.

Wade Fishing for Trout with Capt Nathan Beabout
The first feed this morning yielded a few keeps and several smalls on DSL watermelon. Now the mid-day feed was 20-25″ trout on topwaters, spicy pumpkinseed, and dirty tequila. All fish were caught over knee to thigh deep grass beds. Fishing remains consistent with several solid fish each day being caught. Come on down before…

Sight Casting for Redfish
Traded in the wading boots for some shorts and crocs, as we set up the tower and tried our hand at sight casting reds. Success, despite the high clouds we were able to find some gin clear water and let the Buggs Lures do the work. Redfish can’t resist the Texas Tea Bugg. Captain Nathan…

San Antonio Bay Special Evening Fishing Trips
After spending 4th of July with the family in Rockport, we decided to sleep in and let the crowds have the morning fishing. Heading out when most folks were loading up and driving off from the ramp, we found many of our favorite fishing holes left quiet and untouched for the evening bite. This gave…
