Started off friday night with a 1/4 moon wade with clients Matt Velasquez and Nick out of Houston, Tx. First half of the night the wind was blowing pretty hard, but it followed the forcast and dropped down to about 5 mph at 3:00 am. It was then when I thought they were going to [...]

Fishing is really good in the Laguna Madre right now!! We are targeting schooling redfish as well as larger speckled trout with Chartreuse Devil Eyes using 1/8 oz Tru-Loc jig heads. There are three large schools of redfish in the Upper Laguna and still lots of nice trout along the drops. Start out [...]
Fishing has been steady on the Lower Laguna Madre over the past week despite incredibly high winds. Good numbers of keeper-size specks have been taken along the channel edges and deep flats during the early morning/light wind periods. Once the wind has come up anglers have been relegated to the shallows where they’ve found plenty [...]
A good day and a great group Saturday in West Matagorda. Started off with a jam up day light bite using soft plastics, with the majority of the fish being caught on red and white Brown Lures. We stayed with some extremely thick grassy areas, loaded with bait. Bite died off quickly and did not [...]
It seems we are experiencing the dog days of summer a little bit early this year. The fishing has been tougher and may get even tougher as the summer and early fall wears on. I am going to take this opportunity to hopefully shed some light on tactics in this hot weather. I believe most [...]
Fishing has held steady in the Lower Laguna Madre over the past week.
However, the bite has been early and somewhat short-lived. Good numbers of specks are coming from along the edges of the ICW, over the Pasture and near the PI spoils. Redfish have been found in most of the shallow flats along east side, [...]
Strong winds have returned to the Lower Laguna Madre over the past few days. Trout action has been steady, although many areas are holding mostly “short” fish. Anglers working the deeper flats and channel edges have been able to scratch out limits or near-limits, but had to go through a lot of throwbacks to get [...]
Heat Wave – Hot Trout & Red Action!
Galveston Bay Report
I don’t ever remember it being this hot in June. The high temperatures coupled with this persistent westerly wind makes it feel like you’re in a convection oven. The surface water temperatures in the bay have been hitting 87 degrees on a regular basis. All of [...]
Today we have a feature fishing report straight from Port Mansfield with Captain Mike McBride. Mike shares a TON of helpful information covering everything from jigheads to using braided line, plus some tips for fishing for trout and redfish in Texas. He also reviews some of the different reels he has been using lately, [...]
Captain Aubrey Black called in to give us an update on Baffin Bay fishing. Despite the wind, off-colored water and every thing else the weather has been throwing at them, Aubrey and crew have been bringing in solid speckled trout and redfish. Listen in for some tips on fishing around rocks, as well as some different ways to rig your soft plastic lures.
Captain Ernest Cisneros joins us today to talk about spring fishing down in the lower Laguna Madre. Listen in as Ernest shares tips on following birds, working artificials and selecting what color to use when searching for speckled trout and redfish.
Capt. Jim Onderdonk joins us today with a report on some heavy speckled trout that he has been catching in Baffin Bay this week. It looks like big fish are still there to be caught, and according to “Donk” they should still be good sized into May. If you want to know more about catching big trout in legendary Baffin Bay be sure to listen to this special podcast, because Jim has a TON of information to share. Him and Jake cover everything from water conditions, to salinity, colors and types of lures to use, as well as how to present your lure.
On today’s show we have Benny Landrum with his report from the Texas Redfish Series tournament in Corpus Christi. Benny and his partner, Scott Null, had a strong week of pre-fishing before weather changed their plans but still managed to land a redfish on tournament day. In addition to the report, he offers up some good advice on targeting reds both in the flats and bay. Some of the topics covered include color selection and how to work the lures he is using. Benny also has a nice tip for changing out the hooks on your topwater lures, and other modifications to make that might give you that extra edge.
Today we have our first report from Captain Mike O’Dell. Mike guides out of Aransas Pass, and lately has been catching trout and redfish in Redfish Bay. Lately he has been using shrimp and various plastics, including an Avocado Devil Eye.
