    Wow! Port Mansfield Trophy Trout with Capt. Nathan Beabout

    After another big cold snap, which I saw no dead fish down there anywhere I traveled. The bite didn’t get going until mid morning each day. We watched as the water temp would climb into the high 50’s to lower 60’s. Most of our fish were caught in crotch deep water, with the exception of…

    Things started coming to life around 10:30am in Port Mansfield today. Redfish were hitting hard, but the few trout we caught were very light, almost the hung up in grass feeling. Good news is we have much warmer temps now and for the next few days. The trout bite should get more aggressive. Still have…

    Didn’t expect it to be that cool this morning, guess the fish didn’t like it much either. First couple wades we struck out, then as the wind shifted East and air temps started rising the bait became more active and both trout and reds started feeding. We caught lots of 17-19” trout, mid to upper…

    Great day on the water. It took us a few stops to get it dialed in, and the key was finding the rafts of mullet. Under that mullet ewas 16-19” trout and mid slot reds. We had our fair share of smalls, but hard to leave when the next bite was solid. DSL pumpkinseed, strawberry…

    Today was a day most folks stayed home. Under conditions like this with minimal boat traffic fish behave naturally, and their feeds can be very aggressive. This was the case today over knee to thigh deep grass beds. You didn’t have to wonder if you had a fish, they about jerked the rod out of…

    Trophy Trout Winter Discount

    Just about everybody knows this year’s fishery on the Middle Texas Coast was probably the best we’ve seen in years. And,  most folks know it takes a cold winter like the one we are experiencing to get the Trophy trout to really start to feed in big numbers. I believe this winter is going to…

  • Winter Wade Fishing for Specks with Capt. Nathan Beabout

    On days normal folks would stay home, these boys went and conquered. Each wade we made today out of the Majek Boat, armed with a Waterloo Rod, Fins Braid, and Down South Lure dirty tequila and strawberry wine, we found a bite. Most fish were in knee to thigh deep water over grass and shell.…

    Seadrift Cast and Blast!

    With temps warming up and the tide dropping fishing is getting back to what we have been use to here on the Middle Coast. Walking knee to thigh deep grass beds throwing Down South Lures soft plastics, we saw limits of trout and reds today.

    Day 1 & 2 of 5, has been decent mornings of duck hunting with lots of air traffic, but weary birds. Fishing on day 1 was slow with zero trout action, but a few redfish falling for the Down South Lure trick.

    It started off with a great bite as the moon was setting until about 9am. We caught several 18-21″ trout on a variety of baits, from DSL strawberry wine, to Corkys, and topwaters. This mornings bite was over knee to thigh deep mud/grass. We left that bite to try to find a couple trophies. Walking…

    Another great pre-front bite. Knee deep grass beds with rafts of bait is where we found our fish hanging yesterday and today. Lost a couple good fish, then finally connected with a stud! Heck even the not so big ones were hungry! Lol. DSL soft plastics and Corkys got the job done.

    It got a little cold today, but the fish didn’t seem to mind. These boys hung in there all day and were rewarded with a nice stringer of trout and reds. Despite the dropping water temps, the fish were still holding in the same places they have been for months.
