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…

Fun day on the water with this group. Had a good bite early, then as the sun climbed high it tapered off. Trout were caught a variety of baits today. DSL strawberry wine, Double D’s, and Mirrolures. Most of our fish were caught over crotch deep sand pockets, we managed a few over knee deep…

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…

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…

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…

Tecovas Boot Review “The Earl”
As with any good Texan, I own and wear boots. Through the years I have developed a fondness for Lucchese dress boots, Ariat work boots, and Wolverine hunting boots. I was in the market for a new pair of brown ropers and started looking at the Lucchese boots and balked at the $400 – $600…

Seadrift Fishing Report
Great day one with this North Texas family. Took us a bit to find a consistant bite, and when we did it was all smiles. Crotch to waist deep grass beds with rafts of bait, throwing DSL’s Victorious Secret and Strawberry Wine did the trick. The North wind was giving us trouble on day two,…

Seadrift Fishing Report
Great day of fishing Fun day with a good group of repeat customers. Wind started off light enough to wade some oyster shell where we found 16-18” trout holding in waist deep water. DSL plum/chart and victorious secret worked best. Then we shifted gears and switched baits to watermelon and topwaters in search of shoreline…
