Sight Casting Redfish with DSL
Fun day sight casting reds. These boys caught the weather just right. Coupled with the drop in tide and an aggressive feed. We were fortunate enough to find an area holding reds all day. Working flats surrounding creeks was the ticket, and our DSL watermelon, red/white and 20# FINS Windtamer Braid was getting it done!…

Port O’Connor Bull Reds
Group #3 of days 5 and 6 wanted to battle bull reds and flounder gig on their trips. It wasn’t exactly calm at the jetties over the two days, and the wind gave them fits last night. But, they managed to battle reds up to 45” and stick a few flounder. This capped off a…

Gulf Coast fishing
Group #2 of days 3 and 4 had a pretty good go at wade fishing. Yesterday we started in the dark fishing over sand/grass hoping the moon would bring us a couple of big fish. Biggest fish we had was 23”. We left that and found solid trout and redfish on oyster reefs in SA…

Seadrift Trout and Redfish
Good trout bite this morning until about 10am throwing plum/chart DSL’s. Then it slowed, luckily we had some redfish on a reef that wanted to play. We made a couple more wades striking out on trout, but by 12:30 we managed a steady trout bite. Had to do some walking in the afternoon, but managed…

Capt. Beabout Seadrift
We had a good time this morning chasing solid trout up to 24”. It was slow at first light with calm winds, but as the morning went on the wind picked up to a steady 10-12mph ESE. With water still high most all our fish were found within 40 yards of the bank. Had a…

Bull Reds!
With last September’s rainfall and work related events, these boys had to wait a year to go toe to toe with a bull red. I would say it was worth the wait, as these boys battled with 14 bulls from 41-47”. If you’ve never tried it, give us a call for a fight you won’t…

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…
