Re: Wading at Night When we were kids we would jump the fence at the condos on the south corner late at night and catch flounder and trout under the lights. Jack Carpenter would always run us off. Then we decided we could wade from the lot next door over to the...

Freshwater Reports? Brandon, What do you think about having a section for freshwater flyfishing reports?  I have two from this summer and was thinking your fly clients might enjoy exchanging freshwater reports. Wes

Re: Freshwater Reports? Since you asked.Just got a new Sage 6 wt. and broke it in on the inlaws stock pond.Good bluegill and black bass on a black floating bug.

South Padre Beach What is the best way to get to the beach at South Padre from Port Mansfield (by boat).  Both down by Port Isabel or anywhere close to Port Mansfield.

Re: Freshwater Reports? Will get the section set up Monday! Thanks for the idea! 😉

Re: Flatstalker boats David, looks like a cool idea.  Couple of issues I see….not much room for empties!  the other is that I think the yaks might be a better idea sicne they do not take up as much space.  However, standing up on this model looks pretty easy and...

Re: Flatstalker boats I have also thought about getting one.  My understanding is that a 2 person model will be offered in the future, it may already be available.  I would only get one with a trolling motor–paddlng long distance in this craft seems impractical...

Wading at Night I am coming down on the weekend before July 4th and since the moon will almost be full I was hoping to get some ideas of where to go night wading in Port Mansfield.  I have done it in other bay systems like baffin but have only night fished in the East...

Re: Tarpon in the Bay. That is awesome!Kudos to you..Would be a dream come true for me to get one in the bay.I haven't jumped a tarpon since 2002 and that was about a mile off the jetties. Took a Mirrorlure under a small log and made my Penn spinner smell like a...

Do I hear Bowie? — June 4, 2007 Come on…SING ALONG…P-P-P-Pressure!  For those of you too young to remember the original beat bastardized by Vanilla Ice, David Bowie’s arguably most recognizable song found its way into my head sometime early Saturday morning as I...

Thanks Captain B Brandon, I want to thank you for showing my dad and me a great time.  My dad really wanted his first redfish on fly and you did it .  Thanks for your patience and taking the time to show him how to spot fish.  Look forward to coming back down in...

New To Wade Fishing Hey guys I am coming down with my company in the end of June.  I understand we will be wading.  I have fished my whole life for bass with my dad and now husband and the wadefishing thing is totally new to me.  Being the only woman on the trip, I...

Re: New To Wade Fishing Ashley, Hey great name…same as my wife's!  😀 Unless on shell, or oysters, I may be the wrong person to ask becuase I frequently wade barefooted.  There are numerous stingrays in the bay; however, the water is so clear where we fish,...

Re: New To Wade Fishing Believe Brandon when he says youll be shallow.  I dont think we ever got into water higher than my knees.  Have fun chsing the reds! 

Re: Thanks Captain B No Worries…Offshore starts this week and tell the old man we will not use him as chum…looking forward to the bluewater with you guys!

baffin bay…. had a great experience in baffin bay last week landing my PR trout at 26 1/2 inches. My  buddy next to me landed a 28 1/2 weighing 8 pounds! both released to see another day….got weathered out within an hour of fishing!  even though it was a...

Re: baffin bay…. Danny, (Right?) Thanks for the report, man.  And I agree, ain't nothing like the LLM Reds…got into quite a few of them today! Keep the reports coming…but let us know how deep and what you were using…nothing like a big girl...

You Know Sergio!? — June 11, 2007 The past week was a shortish, longish week.  Greatish, poorish fishing.  Consistently inconsistent yet inconsistently consistent.  In a nutshell, the week was a mixed bag of fishing conditions and weather conditions.  Trout...

Re: baffin bay…. andur right on….Danny!that one day i was using a she-pup chrome and black…..my buddy was using a bone colored super-spook jr!  we were bout 10 yards off the bank cause the water dropped to about six feet in a couple of steps!

Tarpon in the Bay. While fishing with Charlie Buchen (Tail Chasers) on 6/14, We landed a nice little Tarpon about 30lbs. It was really a shock to hook into one while wade fishing the bay and even more of a shock to land him on 10lb. line and a 1/4oz jig. . No pictures...
