Wade Fishing Seadrift, TX. 7/24/22
This week we were met with the same S-SW winds and extreme low tides. This has changed our game plan up a bit. We would chase trout first couple wades in the morning before the sun broke the morning clouds. Then as the day quickly heated up and we lost the trout bite, we turned…

Capt. Nathan’s Sight Casting Client List; Seadrift, TX.
Folks see these days when we sight cast reds, and say man your so lucky to have caught the weather so nice on that trip. But, I will let you in on a little secret, it was planned. The way most of my sight casting trip works is off a client list. These clients love…

Sight Casting; Seadrift, TX.
This week week we finally had some good low wind days and sunny skies. I cannot resist getting the clients on the tower under these conditions. While trout fishing is fun, it is hard to beat these calm days when you can find pods of 10-15 tailing, and schools of 100-200 floating on the surface.…

Seadrift, TX. Wading
This week was met with some ups and downs. We had a few decent days of fishing, but then the winds became more than we wanted to deal with, so some of our repeat groups opted to pick another day in the summer. With these strong winds, we had to pay attention each day as…

Seadrift, TX. Wade Fishing
This past week was much of the same action as last week. This is to be expected this time of year as conditions stay relatively the same. Our biggest challenge during these hotter periods is knowing when to be where. Feed periods, tidal movement and bait activity help us key in on bigger fish. Our…

Seadrift, TX. Wade Fishing; 5/6/22
Hey Folks, We were down for a couple weeks, but it feels good to be back on the water this past week after getting the new boat rigged and ready. We saw a lot of changes in just a short span. From near Coastal Flood Advisories to a tide that is now about a foot…

Giant Trout at Port Mansfield
Well it was an interesting winter on the Lower Laguna. Just when you think you got the big trout figured out, mother nature throws you a curve ball. Not only did we have big temperature swings with the air and water, but we also had multiple different bait hatches because of the big warm ups…

Port Mansfield, TX. Wade Fishing Report
This round of Port Mansfield was met with the right weather and lower tides. With these fronts stacking up every 5-6 days the water temperature is holding which is more conducive to trigger bigger trout to feed. We lost a few days because of the strong north winds, but the pre front and post front…

Port Mansfield Report 12/27/21-1/2/22
The past week in Mansfield was a very different kind of winter fishing. In fact it was more like late spring, with air temperature near 88 degrees, and water temps from 72-82 degrees. The water level however was about 6 inches to a foot low which helped. We didn’t not find any true Lower Laguna…

Cedar Bayou Report
Just can’t stay away from the saltwater. When dad called and said he was heading to Cedar Bayou in the morning, I couldn’t help myself. We met at a foggy boat ramp and eased across the bay. Once we got in the bayou and parked the boat, it was a short 500 yard walk to…

Port Mansfield Wade Fishing Report
Over the last week down in the Lower Laguna we saw a lot of fish caught in a variety of zones. We caught an equal amount of trout and reds all week on a variety of baits from DSL’s, Corkys and topwaters. While it is unseasonably warm for December and the water is high, the…

Seadrift, TX. Sight Casting
I believe this new group is hooked! Great conditions and fish holding in creeks or near deep drops made the day fun. DSL’s candy apple and some Buggs Lures is what tricked the reds today. These clients understood the need to let these fish swim for another day. Thank y’all for giving back to the…
