Texas Saltwater Fishing Guide

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 to...

August 29, 2005 -- Snakes, Sharks, and other Things that Bite Raising parents is hard! Working and living with them is harder.  Luckily this week, we are taking a few days off to start preparations for the long hard Cast & Blast season and mom and dad have headed...

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 the...

July 13, 2003 -- Reds and Storms Well we’re sitting around with all the hatches battened down waiting on Claudette! Looks as if we will get a direct hit, but if predictions are right it will help our bay system with the fresh water, hopefully with minimum damage to...

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...

Photo Validity!!!!!!!!!!!! Good Questions!!! Response to an email sent to us doubting the validity of this past winters trophy trout catches. Thanks for the heads up, I feel your e-mail was actually quite on time. If you get down here feel free to stop by! Oh!  By the...

Re: Any News on Dredging? HybridgrillsNothing has happened regarding the Jetties, but the Navigation District is currently dredging the mouth of the harbor. My understanding is if they feel they can attack the jetty issues that will be on the list of things to do....

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...

August 14, 2005 -- Wind, Reds, and Retirement Everyday on the water is a great day.  Fishing with new friends and watching a first fish caught on the fly and the largest trout someone has ever caught within twenty minutes of each other makes a very special day.  We...

May 15, 2005 -- Those Fish Pull, Eh? The beauty of this job is the number of very interesting and colorful people we get to meet.  The week has been extremely busy and yet rewarding.  Sunday evening we had 42 Canadians join us from Calgary Alberta.  To say these boys...

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...

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...

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,...

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...
