Spring is the most inconsistent time of the year. The weather is all over the place and the wind is almost always blowing hard one direction or the other, but sometimes things come together. Most of this footage was captured a few weeks ago when a late season cold front […]
Redfish
I haven’t spent much time in the marsh this year because I haven’t heard very many reliable reports, but with the warm weather lately I figured it was about as good a time as any to start exploring my preferred domain. I spent three days in the marsh at three […]
This fishing was great this past week. The front that blew in on Friday pushed a bunch of water out of the marsh and made the fish easy to spot. We sightcasted to fish all weekend long. I’ll post a report later this eveining. I also got some great footage. […]
There’s no better cue that winter has passed quite like the surface exploding spectacle of a slob redfish pulverizing a top water plug or the sight of an upper slot brute with half its anatomy above the water’s surface. If the sight or sound of redfish prowling the shallows isn’t […]
I’m still recouping from the weekend that consisted of as many hours behind the wheel and as hours on the water. Like most things that are fun it was also exhausting. This past Saturday was the first stop of the Xtreme Redfish Trail (XRT) in Port Neches, Texas. A total […]
I spent some time on my home waters on the upper coast this past weekend. The weather and conditions were near perfect: cool weather, overcast skies, light winds, and plenty of bait everywhere; conditions don’t get better, especially for surface plugs. I checked out a couple of areas that I […]
Anytime we’re approaching or near a full moon I’m not overly optimistic about how the fish will react. I’ve had some fantastic days fishing in the days preceding or following full moons in the past, but from experience I can tell you that those days are isolated. Most of the […]
There’s no better reminder that winter is behind us quite like the sight of a upper slot brute with it’s back or tail protruding through the water’s surface. A waving tail or a crusing back is like the homecoming of a close friend after a long time away. It brings […]
If you just woke after a long state of cryopreservation, i.e., frozen in time, and were placed on the water you’d never know its mid-February here on the Texas coast based on the weather and conditions. I don’t think anyone could have predicted that the water temperatures would be warm […]
To say that the fishing has been slow, since the back to back artic blasts hit the Texas coast over the last two weeks, is an understatement. It has been downright monotonous and by all accounts the fish have been extremely indolent. The definition of insanity is doing the same […]
