Texas Fishing Report April 20 – Trophy Trout
A 6.75# trout at 27″ makes the grind all worth it. We caught some solid trout today on the first few wades with a number of smalls mixed in. Then the bite slowed to a red or a couple of trout each wade.

Fishing the Texas Coast with Capt Nathan Beabout
Well, as we left the dock there wasn’t much in the way of weather, but as soon as we got all set up in the marsh with the tower rain storms started popping up. However, we were in some gin clear water and was able to see good enough, but none of the reds wanted…

Sight Casting to Redfish Seadrift, Texas
There is a reason redfish tournaments across the Gulf Coast start in March. It is because redfish come in out of the gulf and fill the shallows of our marsh and grass flats. These fish will make these areas home for the most of the summer, cruising the grass and shorelines in search of there…

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…

Port Mansfield Trophy Trout
Last week’s Port Mansfield trips were action packed. We fished a couple days in warm weather, then got hit by a front and temps dropped a little, which triggered a big fish bite. Mansfield trips are trophy trout trips, with the intention of upping your personal best. One client was able to achieve that, as…

Capt. Nathan Beabout Fishing Report
Starting on Saturday, we found fish in an old favorite spot with zero boat traffic. With a stiff east wind, we walked along a big dirty streak of water that was teaming with bait. We landed several small trout at first, but about halfway down the dirty water keepers started to take the baits. No…

January fishing report post cold front
It started of slow today, but from 10:30 on the bite was aggressive! Conservative guess was 25-35 keeper trout and reds were caught. Nothing big, but nice solid 18-22″ trout. Down South Lures kickin chicken, magic grass, strawberry wine, and good ‘ol corkys got the job done.

February and March Wade Fishing in Texas
With duck season coming to a close in just 3 weeks, let’s start looking ahead to some early/late spring fishing. February on the Middle Texas Coast can be the coldest month of the year, but it can also prove to have many warmer than usual days. A typical rule of thumb is, if our February…

Fish ‘n Gig Report 12/23/16
Trout fishing has been holding a solid pattern. Weather has not affected the bite to bad, we are still able to find fish each day, it is just a matter of timing. Over the last few trips it has been a mid-morning bite, lasting until about 1:30-1:45pm. Most of our wades have been concentrated over…

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…
