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...

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...

March 30, 2006 — Consistency Blows! Alright, consistency actually rocks when it is a consistent bite, consistent good fortune, even a consistent good night's sleep, but when consistency consists of a 25+ mph wind, well, with the consistent tinnitus ringing...

November 2, 2005 — GO TEAM GO! Well the Astro's once again broke our hearts and left us wishing for another year.  Let's hope Drayton and Pupura can build a team for next year that can get us back to the dance and ready to win.  With my beloved...

November 29, 2005 — Like most adventures, it starts with an innocent phone call.  I had decided to spend a little down time with the new wife while the parents were away getting a grandbaby fix and enjoy a quiet uneventful Thanksgiving weekend.  However, after a...

August 11, 2003 — Hot! Hot! This weekend we hosted a group from American Light in San Antonio.  Thank goodness I had wade fishermen since the heat was unbearable.  Standing in 85 degree water beats drifting in the heat of the day.  On Saturday we fished the deep...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

May 1, 2005 — The North Wind Just Can’t Stay Away!!!!!! Our weather is still confusing as HECK. Just when we think we are in a spring wind pattern here comes a howling North Wind. Sat. saw STRONG NORTH WINDS making everyone run for cover. Prior to the north...

May 18, 2003 — Wind, Wind and Reds After almost three weeks of 20 M.P.H. plus winds the pattern may have changed today. We awoke this morning with Old Glory not standing straight out like it was starched. Hopefully we can now get into our regular wind patterns. ...

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...

October 9, 2003 — FALL REDS Water temperatures remain in the upper 70s providing a comfortable wade without waders.  Red fishing continues to be great.  Fishing North provided non-stop action for the past three days.  Reds were found from knee to chest deep...

April 19,2004 — Bubba, the BOYZ and the Legend This past Monday and Tuesday we had the pleasure to fish with our OLD!!! Friends Bubba and the boys. With winds blowing 25 plus MPH we all still managed to catch good fish. The highlight of this trip was a first...
