Wading for Redfish with Capt Nathan Beabout
While we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to go this weekend. We got lucky and the storms passed just inland, leaving the bays a touch breezy, but with no rain. Even with the high winds we were able to find plenty of protected water to fish, concentrating on sand/grass, mud/shell for…

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…

We have field experience with night vision / thermal products from all of these companies and they are all amazing. To be able to spot a wild hog 200 yards away in total darkness is…

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…

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…

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
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…
