  • Wade Fishing for Trophy Speckled Trout

    Wade Fishing for Trophy Speckled Trout

    Today’s trip went just as I hoped. We walked the same stretch of shoreline as the day before, knowing there was big fish around. From 6-9am the bite was aggressive, with several 20-23″ trout. Then, this healthy 26″ popped a DSL pumkinseed soft plastic.

  • Great Day Catching Redfish on Bugg Lures

    Great Day Catching Redfish on Bugg Lures

    I think today sight casting reds with a good ‘ol client was among the top 3 best days. After trolling a few ponds with little to no redfish, we found ourselves powerpoled down in front of a drain.

  • Wade Fishing for Trout with Capt Nathan Beabout

    Wade Fishing for Trout with Capt Nathan Beabout

    The first feed this morning yielded a few keeps and several smalls on DSL watermelon. Now the mid-day feed was 20-25″ trout on topwaters, spicy pumpkinseed, and dirty tequila. All fish were caught over knee to thigh deep grass beds. Fishing remains consistent with several solid fish each day being caught. Come on down before…

  • Sight Casting for Redfish

    Sight Casting for Redfish

    Traded in the wading boots for some shorts and crocs, as we set up the tower and tried our hand at sight casting reds. Success, despite the high clouds we were able to find some gin clear water and let the Buggs Lures do the work. Redfish can’t resist the Texas Tea Bugg. Captain Nathan…

    Wildgame Innovations Silent CRUSH 20 Lightsout Trail Camera

    The unit actually contains two cameras – one optimized for daylight, the second for night.  Lightsout indicates invisible infrared LED flash. This camera disappears on a tree trunk.  The small size along with the “TRUBARK HD” color and texture are a welcome change from the old shiny plastic box design of the past.

  • San Antonio Bay Special Evening Fishing Trips

    San Antonio Bay Special Evening Fishing Trips

    After spending 4th of July with the family in Rockport, we decided to sleep in and let the crowds have the morning fishing. Heading out when most folks were loading up and driving off from the ramp, we found many of our favorite fishing holes left quiet and untouched for the evening bite. This gave…

  • Sunrise Trout

    Sunrise Trout

    With the storms passing East of us this morning, we found an awesome bite over knee deep sand pockets. Before sunrise you could watch rafts of mullet shower out of the water, and if your topwater landed anywhere near, it was a sure hook up.

  • Ladies Day on the Water

    Ladies Day on the Water

    These ladies could fish! Great to see more lady anglers on the water now days, and not afraid to jump out of the boat.  This mother daughter team from the Hill Country were loaded with plenty of Down South Lures, but the one that was their go to bait all day was the strawberry wine…

  • Fishing Report Texas Middle Coast

    Fishing Report Texas Middle Coast

    Today was very laid back, perfect weather, great company, and zero boat traffic. We started over knee deep grass beds with topwaters before the sun can up. Shortly after the sun cleared the cloud bank the topwater bite ended, but the trout were still thumping DSL pumpkinseed and chicken of the C.

  • Seadrift Fishing Report

    Seadrift Fishing Report

    Some friends of mine said they had never been fishing.  What?  How could that be?  Are you serious?  Well, I can fix that.  So we headed down to Seadrift, Texas to chase trout and redfish. The plan was to put them on fish asap.  This wasn’t a trophy hunt for a personal best speckled trout.…
