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 […]

Here’s video of the trout fishing action Tony and I had last Wednesday while fishing during a post-front low tide.
I was eager to get on the water after the cold front that blasted our coast earlier this week lowered the water levels and water temperature. The water levels have been running a little high lately, which has scattered the fish and made them hard to see. Tony, a friend […]
I have been out several times since I last posted a fishing report with varying levels of success. I hit several locations including areas in East Bay, West Bay, and spots as far west as Freeport. Fishing has gone from good last week to downright slow early this week even […]
Greg and I started the morning bright and early at a spot we hadn’t had the chance to check out this year. We were interested to see if we could pick up trout shallow along with some redfish. We started off throwing topwaters in 1′-3′ of water on main bay […]
Fishing has been outstanding. I’ve been all over the map here on the Upper Texas Coast, from east to west, and have found redfish schooled up shallow at every location. It has been very easy to find them. Just look for birds hovering, bait fleeing, or listen for the distinct […]
Doug and I fished West Galveston Bay this morning. I caught a couple of reds on the gold spoon fly before the wind picked up and made fly fishing tough. We also caught several reds and a few trout drifting throwing TTF Flats Minnows in morning glory, mumpy glo, and […]
If I had to describe my day of fishing yesterday in one word it would be phenomenal. My best day of fishing ever. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had days when I’ve caught more and bigger but this was on another level. I have never seen so many schools of […]
Blaine and I fished Upper Galveston and Trinity this morning in search of some bird action and they were nowhere to be found. We covered a bunch of water and didn’t see a single bird working bait. Instead we keyed in on reefs and drifted areas where we saw bait […]
Here’s the video I promised from footage I filmed on Saturday morning. Greg and I were chasing a school of redfish down the shoreline. I got ahead of the school on the shoreline and tried to intercept the school. The whole school swam right by me and one of the […]
