Spent a few days camping at Padre Island National Seashore last week. The area has been hit pretty hard by the red tide. Most of fish effected are non-gamefish and baitfish but there was also plenty of redfish (big and small), trout, mackerel, snook, etc. that were effected. It is […]
Fly Fishing Reports
Every now and then it’s nice to break away from the rigors and restraints of the normal routine and give back for a good cause. Last weekend I fished the annual Rockport Yak Attack charity tournament benefitting Camp Aranzazu. The tournament weigh-in and captain’s meeting were at Camp Aranzazu’s beautiful […]
Another rarity. I hit the water for a few hours on the way home from Corpus Christi, TX yesterday morning. I managed to catch a lower slot red that was missing one of it’s eyeballs. This is the second time I’ve landed a red that was missing an eye. The […]
I spent a few days last week in Port O’Connor, Texas fishing with a buddy, Captain Scott Null, on board his new East Cape Fury. We fished the flats one day and deep water the next day looking for big fish. The first day started slow. When we woke the […]

A trip month’s in development has finally concluded last weekend. Mark and I planned a trip to the Land Cut for some time now. Mark hasn’t lived in Texas very long and his first sight fishing experience was a trip he made to Land Cut last fall with his buddies […]
Labor Day weekend was a wash due to Tropical Storm Lee. Lee brought extreme north winds to the Upper Texas Coast. The weather following Lee’s departure was a welcomed change. Low tides and cool weather produced fall-like conditions. I was chomping at the bit to get on the water because […]
Fished a few new marshes last weekend and the fishing was phenomenal. Had backing reds swimming around me all day long. Got bored catching one at at a time on the fly rod and I couldn’t resist… I also shot a bunch of pics but I haven’t had a chance […]
This is how my kayak looked two days before the last tournament. It has seen more water than most kayaks ever see in their lifetime. After a lengthy repair job it’s ready to get muddy and slimy again.
John, Raymond and I got on the water with a few modest goals in mind. John has had limited time to fish this year, so he wanted to get out and catch his first slot red of 2011. John also wanted to break in his newly acquired buggy whip. On […]
