I went for an evening wade the night before the tournament to check out a spot for the tourney. Greg and I fished for about few hours without a nibble until after dark. I ended up landing 2 small reds and 2 solid trout, including a 26.5″ 6+lb trout. All […]
Redfish
I guess the redfish didn’t get the memo. It’s winter time, which means it’s big trout season. I stopped targeting redfish over a month ago, and for some reason, I just can’t seem to keep them off my hooks. I know what you’re thinking…tough problem to have, right? And I […]
As much as I like the feeling of a tug at the other end of my line, fishing has much more meaning to me than just catching. One of the beauties of the sport is that it takes on many meanings all at once. It can be serene or stressful, […]
I spent a few days fishing the Corpus Christi area with my old college roommate, Austin, this past weekend. We only had one day of good weather and the rest of the time it blew pretty hard but we managed to catch a fair amount of fish, mostly trout. Although […]

Santa has delivered Christmas early this year. Big trout fishing has been good earlier than normal. It wasn’t until later in the winter last year when the big girls started showing up in good numbers but this year the winter, mud and shell, pattern has started early. The deep water reef bite […]
Greg and I put a lot miles on our vehicles and kayaks last weekend without very much success. We started out targeting reefs and guts in search of trout early with only a few bites, so we switch modes and started searching for redfish on shorelines. We found a few […]
Some days are better left forgotten. Days when it seems like nothing can go right. Bad events pile up on one another leaving you wondering, what else could go wrong? Invariably there is always something else that can and often will go wrong leaving you confused, what did I do […]
Here’s a short video I put together of spooked reds. This footage was all taken on the same day and most was from a single paddle.
