As anglers were subject to the constraints of the tyrant named Mother Nature. She does what she pleases. We’re merely hostages to her moody behavior. Every now and then she’ll smile down and grant us passage on a picturesque day. On rare occasions she’ll string two or more blissful days together for us to enjoy her splendor. Two weeks ago […]
Picture Perfect
Bad Sun Rising…
Forgot how much I enjoyed early morning drives to the water. Its nice to forget the shitty work week for a change and join a bud for a quick redfish trip. The sound of stepping on the boat brings back old memories of past fishing trips. Its been awhile ol friend. Being away from the water so long I consistantly found myself doing a […]
Didn’t Stand a Chance
This mullet didn’t stand a chance… Close ups….
Surfango Tango
If you ever wondered what the offspring would look like if you crossbred a kayak and a jet ski your imagination has come to fruition. The Surfango looks just like any another kayak, but didn’t your mama tell you never to judge a book by its cover?
Fall is in the Air: Texas Twist

Reds and Convicts
Austin gave me a shout Thursday evening to see if I had any plans for the weekend.

Austin was on the road headed in […]
Double the Fun
Got bored catching redfish one at a time so I decided to double the fun. Fishing’s been good…real good lately…
Audible Fishing
At first glance the muddy flats of the Upper Texas Coast aren’t exactly enticing to a sight fisherman. Let’s not kid ourselves these aren’t the pristine flats of Andros, Belize, The Keys, or even the Lower Coast. Our marshes are unwadeable. That is, unless you enjoy trekking through waist-deep mud. Water clarity is often limited to a few inches of […]
Lydia Ann Fly Masters Tourney
I fished the Lydia Ann Fly Masters tournament out of Aransas Pass last Saturday. The weigh was at Tarpon Shores Marina. The 2012 beneficiary was Casting for Recovery. It’s a catch and release fly fishing only tournament. The only tournament of it’s kind here in Texas. There were two categories one for redfish and the other a “open species” category […]
All My Ex’s live in TEXAS…PART 1
Making my way up from Mexico northward through Texas. A quick stop through Austin for some food, music, and fun. Austin is not as big as I thought it would be but boy can they pack a ton of cool shit into that town. Lots of music on every corner and the BBQ was amazing. But if there was one thing […]
