Seadrift, TX. Sight Casting/Wading Report
This past week has been some ups and downs. Good sight casting conditions turned ugly as SE winds came out of nowhere. But, I don’t want to talk bad about it because it brought some much needed water back into the bay. We did manage to find shelter in some back marsh ponds and creeks,…

Laguna Custom Rods

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…
