Texas Saltwater Fishing Guide

May 22, 2005 -- Even Speckled Trout Get the Blues 2005 has so far proved to be a very unique, frustrating, unpredictable, and mind-numbingly indecisive year.  Trout have seemingly been mourning our slight case of brown tide and refusing to bite.  However, with our...

May 27, 2006 -- And now, for a Break in the Action.... Wow, so this is what a break feels like!  We have been absolutely slammed; however, can not really say we have been slamming the fish.  Offshore is absolutely on fire with a number of double digit Snappers brought...

June 5 - 20, 2004 -- Wind, wind and CALM! After the last fifteen days on the water it’s obvious our trout have started their move to summer patterns. We have had every type of weather pattern during this period. The fishing has also mirrored the weather with calm...

May 8,2004 -- Storms, Wind and Lots of Rain The past two weekends have kept all of us on the water, on our toes. Saturday May 1 we had 50 plus M.P.H. winds and heavy rains. Saturday May 8 dealt us 3 plus inches of rain. Despite these adverse weather conditions we have...

September 15, 2006 -- Christmas for Fisherman I have noticed I have been walking around humming the tune of 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas' the last few days and wondering why.  I finally figured it out over the last  few days while wading...

June 4, 2004 -- Wind, Rain and some nice weather After almost three weeks of 25 M.P.H. plus winds the pattern may have changed this week. We awoke this morning with Old Glory not standing straight out like it was starched. Having been off the water for two weeks due...

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...

August 5, 2002 -- Field Testing, T.V. Shows and Good Friends Get-A-Way Adventures Lodge hosted the filming crew from Midwest Outdoors, along with the Shakespeare and Pflueger Staff and a number of outdoor writers. As the fish gods shined on us all involved experienced...

May 8, 2005 -- WIND, WIND, BUT!!! We Have Water!!!!! We found the fish along the edge of the I.C.W. in about 5 to 6 foot of water. The trout are feeding on small baitfish and shrimp, the birds pinpointed them for us. If you notice a current cast up current and let...

May 29, 2005 -- The Good, The Bad, The Ugly!!!!!!!!! The past week has again been very interesting! The first of the week we had a good consistent bite on trout and reds. Then here comes the weekend and boom! CHANGE!!! In defense of the weekend, we expected a slower...

June 14, 2006 -- CATCH-UP TIME!!!! I really admire those who can fish all day and sit down on the computer at night and write 1000 word reports!!!!!!!!!! This OL’ Fa_t can’t!  With today being a turn around day for us I can catch up with reports, sorry me and the KID...

August 15-22, 2001 -- Winds and HIGH Tides As we had higher than normal summer time winds our snapper trips were somewhat bumpy. But with our targeting snapper less than 3 miles offshore the bone jarring trip out just is not the case. Limits of snapper with kings as...

June 13, 2005 -- SUMMER, WHERE ARE YOU? We have the heat, we have the fish in the normal places, but man oh man bring on the summer patterns.  Typically, June affords us the calm early morning with wind picking up late afternoon to lay down late evening.  No so this...

June 30, 2003 -- Twenty One Feet of Reds Sorry for the delay in keeping our fishing reports page up to date, but June was a very trying month with the loss of my Mother and Shirley’s Mom’s broken hip one week later. This coupled with a busy schedule left precious...

September 05, 2006 -- Up For Air? Big Breathe!  That's much better.  We took a well deserved long Labor Day weekend off to catch up with old correspondences, boat repairs, body repairs (to ourselves), and generally catch up with Lodge business and maintenance. ...

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...

September 12, 2005 -- Move Over Rover Simply being the youngest guide out of the lodge can make times at the lodge around the older salts quite unbearable.  To add fuel to the flame, out fish the old salts and there is hell to pay.  I think the familiar saying around...

September 5, 2005 -- Vacation's Over Sadly, all good things come to an end!  Mom and Dad come home, offshore adventure excursions are over, and baseball season is coming to a close.  Luckily, special south zone hunting starts, fantastic fall fishing will start warming...

September 29, 2003 -- North, South, East and West The last two weeks we have had winds from every direction, along with RAIN, RAIN and some more rain. The rain along with fall high tides, is keeping the bay one-foot and more above normal. A lot of our trout fishing is...

September 15, 2003 -- Come-On Cool Weather After 15 straight days on the water I get to catch up on the fishing reports. During this period I had the privilege to fish some outstanding anglers, friends and my brother and his group.Fishing has been somewhat sporadic,...

May 2, 2006 -- Let the Grind Begin Well May is here and ushers in the true beginning of our season.  With more days on the water than off, we will have a bead on all types of fishing and fish.  With Teddy and Dad chasing trout to their hearts content, Frank and BJ on...
