The mad scientists at Texas Tackle Factory are at it again. As much experimenting as they do you never know what they’re going to come out with next. Footage of the newest offering from TTF‘s Gun Dog series of lures has just been released. I heard rumblings about the Gun Dog […]

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 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 […]
Evidence of the arrival of spring is everywhere: flip-flop weather, schools of newly hatched fry, herds of hungry fish prowling the shallows and tropical storm-like winds. Finding a reliable pattern during spring, more than any other season, is tough. Conditions are highly inconsistent and fish behavior mirrors the unpredictable weather. […]
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 […]

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, […]
