Texas Saltwater Fishing Guide

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...

April 18, 2006 — Wind…Wind and Cooperative Fish It just keeps on HAPPENING!! The past two weeks have been outstanding. We continue to catch excellent trout. Capt. Steven lost what he considered a 30” plus yesterday. Fishing just south of town he had...

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...

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...

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...

Girls Gone Wild! Caught on Tape! — February 19, 2007 After my trip last week with the youngsters and their personal best trout, I just didn’t think it could get any better. Arnold, with the new CASTNSHOOT Web. Magazine was scheduled to arrive Thursday for some...

Re: Any News on Dredging? I will be giving a complete update in the next couple of days.  More in depth than you may want.  However, now with the trout issued hopefully solved, I will be lending my support to the dredging efforts.  Just making the neccassary calls now...

Re: Pop Gets Wake Up Call! brandon, it has been about a week or so since we heard about the old gesser's procedure.  He is probably fit to be tied if he has not been able to get out there.  How is he doing with the recovery, everything still looking good to go!?

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: ice? Good Question. Actually McDonalds in Raymondville has the cheapest ice…problem is; how do you keep it over a long weekend?

Re: TARPON TARPON EVERYWHERE! 40 to 150# They should hold until November.  Will post more information tomorrow

Re: Traveling to Mansfield tomorrow, any help is appreciated! Go to harbor bait and get some 'spec rigs'. Get the silliest, brightest colors, chunk them out past the lights and jig them at varying speed and depth. Fly fishing the lights at night is a blast...

Re: Sept 17, Monday of TFF of Houston trip Brandon, Still wanting to know what the 1/2 day options are on Monday, Sept 17.  I can bring my kayaks if there is a way for someone to drop us off, pick us up and get us back to the lodge by 1-2 for Rod to make his flight in...

Re: Flounder Migration Flounder pounder… Great name by the way! We typically do not target those of the flat persuasion; however, I would say any deep water drops, such as the edges of the ICW (inter coastal waterway) or the east cut.  Throw shrimp, or gulp and...

Re: Personal best I caught one in Mazatlan Mexico about a dozen years ago, I still remember the rush. Congratulations.

Reports to follow Sorry folks but this trade show circuit is about to kill me! After this weekend I'll be back on the water daily and will make sure the reports are done timely. Capt. Ted, Mitch, Steven, Pete and Darren have been on the water and yes we are...

Re: Any News on Dredging? Access is about the same.  Hug the north jetty and you should be safe.  Not much word on what's going to happen this summer.  Thoughts are Wilson may attempt dredging the cut with the port's little dredge. We will get a better...
