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...

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...

July 31, 2005 — Catching A Breathe Man, what a wicked busy two weeks.  Wall to wall fish, a bachelor party, three TV shows, and a number of writers plus all the folks from Shakespeare.  The consumer market and All-Star lovers should be chomping at the bit to get...

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...

November 23, 2005 — Gobble, Gobble! They call pork the other white meat.  HHMMM..that leaves me to ponder what turkey is.  Are all poultry lumped into the same monochromatic meat color or is our fine bearded friend an entire meat class on his own?  Will Terrell...

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 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...

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...

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 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...

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 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...

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...

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...
