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....

January 31, 2007 — Cold Wind + Cold Rain = Big Trout Alright, admittedly, I am a stuck up skinny water fly fisherman who would prefer to chase sheephead on fly in ankle deep water than mess around with deep water trout in freezing (for a south Texas boy)...

Freshwater Reports? Brandon, What do you think about having a section for freshwater flyfishing reports?  I have two from this summer and was thinking your fly clients might enjoy exchanging freshwater reports. Wes

Re: Flatstalker boats I have also thought about getting one.  My understanding is that a 2 person model will be offered in the future, it may already be available.  I would only get one with a trolling motor–paddlng long distance in this craft seems impractical...

Re: 1st time 🙁 Rey, I think your fishing too deep. In the morning try a foot or two of water. After 9:00 am or so start going a little deeper. The reds love mud as do drum and stingrays :o. If its trout your looking for try the cleaner water.  Don't spend too...
