    Fishing Report

    First time in a long time I remember wet wading in March. The Spring pattern is definitely here. Fish were holding over knee deep sand pockets, finding the bait was key. Topwaters, softdines, and DSL dirty tequila got the job done. On top of a great day wading, these boys enjoyed an evening last night…

    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…

    Trophy Trout with Capt. Nathan Beabout

    Mission accomplished in Port Mansfield! Had several solid trout and reds today. Then the big girl crushed a topwater. Fish were released. Bites today came on topwaters, floating corkys, and red/white, glow, and white ice soft plastics. Dates still available through April. Capt.

  • 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…

    Devils River Paddling, Camping, Fishing

    The Devils River is one of those legendary wild spots that surfaces in rumor around the campfire.  It is a harsh unforgiving environment in a true wilderness setting.  A group of us have tried planning a canoe fishing trip to the Devils River for years but the logistics are a challenge.  These new paddler camp…

  • 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…

  • Chasing Redfish with Capt. Nathan Beabout

    Chasing Redfish with Capt. Nathan Beabout

    It was a bit of a grind yesterday until the cool front arrived. Slick calm conditions meant our only shot at a bite was redfish.  A handful showed up, crushing topwaters and Down South Lures dirty tequila.  About an hour after the front, we found a small trout bite, and managed to loose a couple…

    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

    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

    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 Dec. 13, 2016

    Solid day of wade fishing over knee deep mud/grass. Between the two of us, we caught 30-40 trout and 6-7 reds. Released two 5 pounders on back to back topwater cast. Other baits of choice were Corky Softdines and Down South Lures key lime.  Our Waterloo Rods and Fins Braid got a work out today!…
