Harvey-Cleary Goes Large -- April 4, 2008 The old spinster, Ma Nature, decided to turn a cool, temperamental shoulder our way Saturday morning.  Luckily, her cool breezy attitude gave way to a warm and sunny countenance that awarded us a beautiful, fish filled...

Re: catch 2000 catch non for me!?? First thing people have to understand the salinity level in the lower Laguna Madre is higher than the Gulf! With that being said most times a Catch 2000 right out of the box will float or sink extremely slow., this due to the high...

September 25, 2005 -- Home Wreckers Stay Away It is hard to write a concise and entertaining fishing report when our hearts, minds, and fears were, and remain, focused on the second monstrous storm of the year to batter the gulf coast.  Our thoughts and prayers go out...

September 25, 2006 -- “Let the shooting begin” You could define Friday’s wing shooting as a Patriot Missile Defense firing. Friday’s opener found us with not enough birds (Grounded) and wing shooting at birds with a 35 MPH tail wind!!!!! Granted a few birds were...

June 5, 2005 -- Blow, Blow, Blow the Man Down What an incredible week of fishing!  Captain Ted started the week out on stellar 26, 27, and 29 inch trout extravaganza!  All before 11:30 in the morning.  The twenty-niner went 7.8 and just missed being the first Star...

August 12, 2006 -- It's Summer and Nonstop Fishing!!!!! I feel like a broken record, just PLAIN TOO TIRED TO SIT ON THE PUTER and write fishing reports. We’ve been fishing non stop since July 5th as I have promised we will try to get back on a regular posting schedule...

July 1 - 30, 2004 -- King, Ling, Snapper, Trout and Reds After a nonstop July, I can finally catch up with fishing reports. I do admire the guides who fish everyday and can sit down and write fishing reports on a daily basis. This "OLD GUIDE" just doesn’t have that...

May 12, 2006 -- They Jumping in the Boat, or HOLY CRAP The fish called; 'They want their lips back."  To say we caught a few fish this week, would be like saying Ernest Hemingway wrote a few books.  As my dear friend's cajun uncle would say, "They were...

Fisheries Imrpovement or Rose-Colored Glasses -- April 28, 2008 We are consistently catching good numbers of 16” to 22” trout daily:  is this a result of our 5 fish bag limit started last Year? Without looking thru Rose Colored Glasses and just from an OLD Guides...

Re: Trout reg proclamations for 2008 Yes they are concerned more with the issues of snapper and shark.  However, the RFA and a few other ''çoncerned anglers' are trying to get a ban, or at least limited catch on gulf menahden.  They claim the harvest of...

Re: hows the bite/// ChasinTailWe have been mostly fishing north, can't help much with information from the Arroya south. Once we get into late March and on I stay mostly north due to the amount of traffic coming out of the Arroya on weekends. I will time to time...
