Texas redfish
The reds didn’t want to play at first light this morning. We watched a few fish come from the deep, and once they were in range wanted nothing to do with us. After a couple hours of waiting them out, to see if their attitudes would change, we decided to move onto new waters. Luckily…

Redfish Report
The sight casting day started off a litte questionable, with the much needed rain in the area. We started off drifting the grass flats throwing hunch backs and black spoons. Around 9:30 storms died along with the wind, the sun came out and we got the chance to chase one small school. Then we set…

Seadrift trout and redfish
Fun day sight cast with Bobby Sullivan. Perfect wind and sunny conditions. Redfish were aggressive early up on the flats, then around 11am they fell out to deeper water. DSL super models victorious secret, color x, and hogie lures did the trick. Plenty of dates open for August and September if anybody wants to get…

Top water trout!
Despite dodging a few much needed rain showers, the topwater bite was great. Both trout and reds crushed it walking over knee to thigh deep sand pockets. Once the wind laid between storms we, switched to DSL strawberry wine and Mirrodines. Walking thigh deep to waist deep we had a good mix of trout from…

Awesome Redfish!
Definitely a top 3 in days of sight casting reds. We never had to set up the tower, because the large school of 100 fish stayed on the surface all day. Throwing gold, black, and copper spoons we had several triple hook ups and countless doubles. So much fun watching reds tail and float on…

History of Portland Marine
Portland Marine officially opened at the end of 1967 with a new building, which was quite an improvement over the rented three car garage which served as headquarters for the oilfield and charter boat service operated by Liz and Glen Coker for 11 years. The new 1200 sq. ft. building was split equally between showroom…

Ladies Fishing the Texas Coast
Girls can too! Lots of fun on this evening trip. These ladies were on ‘em before sunset until the storm ran us off. We waded crotch to waist deep sand pockets throwing DSL strawberry wine. Lots of trout 16-18”, and a few that slipped away. Good times had by all! Thanks Brett and Carrie Garmany…

Seadrift wade fishing
The stars must have aligned today! Longest lasting trout bite we’ve seen in a couple weeks. Our first wade at daylight was the best regarding numbers, and as we got into mid afternoon though the bites were less, it was quality fish from 20-23”. Knee to waist deep sand pockets with rafts of mullet worked…

Seadrift trout in the wind
Wind was howling but we managed to grind out a limit of trout. Landed a nice 25″ beast at first light.

Happy Father’s Day! I spent the day with a father son team wanting to learn summertime artificial tactics. With the wind conditions today it was a little tough, but we managed to find some trout green water mid morning and a had a 30-45 minute window with good solid bites. After the nasty water moved…
