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...

Re: Happy “B” Day Kid. Happy Birthday right back at ya!  Never met a fellow Gemini I did not like….well except for that one girl a few years ago ;D Look forward to seeing you soon! POONS are coming

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...

October 18, 2005 — Holy Toledo The NLCS and local conditions are apparently a symbiotic relationship: dramatic strikeouts and long long homeruns!  Just like the serving of disappointment served up by the diminutive David Eckstein and goliath Fat Albert of the...

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...

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...

April 25, 2006 — Water Goes Up Must Come Down Seems like every time the reds get the opportunity to have enough water on the edges to really get podding, the bottom drops out a drives them back to the deeper guts.  Tidal conditions like this are enough to drive...

March 8,2005 — Port Mansfield Wind & Reds Capt. Frank Vasquez had the opportunity to fish David (SCA FAME) and his wonderful daughter Cheryl. They found good reds on the sand in about 1 to 2 feet of water during the middle of the day. Lures of choice were...

December 16, 2005 — Twas The Night Before Christmas First, I want to apologize for the errant and late fishing reports.  Between updating the web, building a few more sites and suffering the constant hack attacks we have been suffering, not to mention very slow...

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...

December 5, 2003 — Transition!!!! When was the last time you played with a Yo-Yo? That little toy from years gone by best sums up the pattern lately. With cool fronts making weekly visits to the Lower Laguna Madre, the fish have become cold-blooded Yo-Yo’s. The...

August 2, 2006 — A Month and A Half Whoa Nelly!!!! It has been a month and a half since my, or dad's, last report.  We apologize for our tardiness but between fishing, family, and other obligations, just checking email on a nightly basis can become quite...

March 27, 2005 — North, South, Hot, Cold, Dirty, Clear, High to LOWWWW!!! Winds from every degree of the compass, temperatures from 50 degrees to 85 degrees, Brown Tide to Semi clear water, Low tides to full spring tides. Faced with these conditions we have been...

August 19, 2003 — Offshore Potpourri What do five Capt’s do if they all get the same day off? Go offshore Capt’s. B.J. Powell, Ted Springer, Terry White, Frank Vasquez and yours truly all had the same day off this week and naturally we jumped at the opportunity...

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...

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...

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...

May 12, 2003 — WIND, WIND, SWING SETS & SON-IN-LAWS What can be more frustrating after nine days of continuous 25 plus M.P.H. winds? Try putting together a large swing set for the granddaughter with the wrong instructions provided! After fishing the last...

October 18, 2001 — TROUT, REDFISH, FLOUNDER and BIG JACKS We hosted 15 fishermen from TSM, Inc. this past weekend. Wind gusts to 30 mph. forced us to the East cut for both days fishing.  Fish were in the guts along the edges in 3 to 4 foot of water. Best fishing...

April 9,2004 — Lights Camera and Action This past week we were hosts to, two outstanding T.V. Shows.( Keith Warren Outdoors and Mike Dyess – Inshore Angler ) To have two outstanding T.V. Personalities at our facility this past week I must say Shirley and I...

December 6, 2006 — Prefrontal Conditions: BIG TROUT With the approach of another Artic Blast, Capt. Ted and I decided to do some scouting for up coming guests. Conditions were nearly as perfect as a Big Trout enthusiast could want! Light winds, overcast,...
