The redfish fishing is OFF THE HOOK! Most of the trips this month have been extremely successful for big redfish. Cracked crab has been the ticket. Our water came back up and we have hammered the reds. There were a few days that the water dropped with the fronts and we weren't able to get in to get the reds, but on those days were hammered the drum and sheepshead. I actually had to put fish in the live well because we had so many fish. In the middle of the month, we found a huge school of fish and we worked on them for the rest of the month. Spring fishing has been GREAT and it only looks to get better with croaker season just a month away. |

The weather again has been the story for this month. The drum are still very steady. Limits or near limits are normal. I've had to cancel a few trips due to weather. A few of the fronts have been VERY strong. March is just around the corner and the bull drum are already showing up in Ingleside. These fish are averaging 40 lbs or so and are a lot of fun to catch. They should really school up in early March. Our water is still unusually low. Fishing is only going to get better when the water comes back in. Look for the reds to turn on in March. |

The fishing is good when the weather allows us to get out. Mesquite Bay is full of drum with some reds mixed in and it has been very consistent for limits. The water remains low and the redfish are still in South Bay. The winter Texans have found these reds and the boat traffic is almost to heavy to fish. Nuecess Bay has had its moments, but it hasn't been consistent for us. It is unusally warm for us this time of year and the water temps are in the low 60's. |

The water has dropped and the redfish are schooled up. I had Dr. Chuck Radar and his friends in early December and we caught redfish until their arms hurt. It was nonstop action for several hours. The first intial drop in the water really balls up the reds and makes it easy on us. I had another trip with similiar results on the black drum in St. Charles in the middle of the month. The fishing is good and there is little pressure this time of year. |

October has brought our bull tides in and they look like they are here for a while. The reds seem to have scattered a little bit early in the month and then the black drum moved in. We had 4 days in a row with 15 or 20 drum coming in per boat. We had a multiboat deal where we all limited on drum by 9:00 am and then went to look for redfish. Later in the month, the trout bite picked up pretty good in San Antonio Bay. Again, there were several days with limits of nice trout coming in. We were catching them on topwaters, live bait and shrimptails. At the end of the month, I had my good client Gene Elliot down and we went out and caught some MONSTER reds in Port O Connor. We had some beautiful reds in the 38 to 42 inch range with multiple spots. Mr. Elliot is having his largest mounted and it should be ready in a few months. November is the time to fish our cold fronts and we have a pretty good one coming in shortly. |

This month has brought many changes with it. We started this month in the lower Laguna Madre. Limits were common and we even had a few 28-30 inch trout. Most of the trips down south had a few flounder and redfish too. In fact, we had a 38 inch red on one of our trips. Then came hurricane Ike. This brought lots of high water to the area. Our first front of the year saved Rockport from the storm. All of the guides lost quite a few trips due to Ike, but it did open up a lot of areas to us that we haven't fished in a while. 3 days after the storm, the reds were "stacked up" in San Antonio Bay. We had several days with limits of both black drum and redfish. The reds were fairly easy to find for a few weeks after Ike. I fished in the annual Stripes fundraising tournament in Corpus at the end of the month. They always do a great job with this tournament and this year was no different. I think we had almost 50 boats this year and just about everyone caught some fish. October is here and I'm looking forward to fishing up North again!! |
