I often get asked, which color(s) should I use? Color selection is not a concrete science as with most fishing-related questions. As fishermen we’re philosophers, mind-readers, and theorists. We develop ideas based on past experience from what has and has not worked. This video is my take on color selection […]
Trout
The arrival of fall begets many changes for anglers on the Texas coast. Artic blasts bring relief from the scorching summer heat, but more importantly, the objects of our fascination begin to fatten up for winter when food sources will be scarce and water temps are too low to warrant […]
Fishing has been flat-out ridiculous on the Upper Texas Coast. Huge schools of redfish everywhere you look. The water has cleaned up nicely with the passing of the last few cold fronts too making the fish a lot easier to spot and catch. It’s been a sight fisherman’s dream in […]
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 […]
I spent a few days in the Coastal Bend with my old roommate, Austin, last week. The weather was hot but so was the fishing. We caught good numbers and quality fish at a few different locations. The first day in the area we got a late start and fished […]
I spent three days in hypersaline water’s of the Lower Laguna Madre last week targeting one of my favorite game fish: robalo commonly referred to as snook here in the states. Snook are aerobatic, strong, extremely aggressive, and their willingness to eat topwater plugs is unrivaled. I make a few […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
