CURRENT FISHING REPORT
3-1-10 Hello Everybody, the weather
seems to be headed in the right direction. We are getting warmer days than
in past weeks and I am confident the trend will continue. The water is in
great shape. Red fish are in the flats eating shrimp, mud minnows, and the
occasional sea lice. Trout are still in some area bays are taking soft
plastics. Wading will produce more fish than drifting. Overall fishing is
about an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. March is shaping to be a great month I
think. It may be a tad cooler than normal, but the fish will be there and
they will cooperate. Spring break is in March so everyone is ready for a
quick trip to the coast. There are activities here for the entire family.
Call you favorite fishing and making fishing part of your visit. You will
not regret it.

Hello Friends, Once again our fishing pretty much remains the same. We are
still catching some nice Reds on the days between the fronts. Over the
past week our water temp went down and the fishing slowed somewhat.
However, later in the day when the Sun is out, the fish are becoming more
active. I'm still using fresh dead Shrimp and cut Mullet. The deeper areas
of the flats and the drains off the back lakes have been my go to places.
I'm still looking for any bait activity and fishing these areas when it is
spotted. The fishing should be great when we get a few days in the 70's
and the water warms. Spring break is right around the corner and hopefully
the weather will be nice.

3-1-10 Still too cold for any
consistent numbers of trout. A few big trout are being caught but even
that is not consistent from one day to the next. The good news is the reds
are still plentiful. Likewise the black drum. The larger (over 30 inches)
black drum are just starting to show up. If you want to catch a 30 to 45
inch black drum for a picture and the thrill of catching it, the time is
now. Any time the water is moving in certain deep channels the oversized
drum are feeding. We often fish for oversized black drum until the guests
are tired of reeling them in and then turn to redfish for the rest of thee
day. My prediction is that trout fishing will be great as soon as we get a
past due warming trend.

3-1-10 Technically there has not
been a change since my last report. Redfish and black drum are "the
ticket" right now. Best baits have still been mullet and shrimp fished
on the bottom. Our water is cold and the fish are not chasing down their
food, so fishing a tight line on bottom has been best.
Trout are still slow, but if you're willing to get out of the boat and
wade fish, there has been a few fish willing to eat lures. Best to start
your trout fishing later in the days and fish until dark. Concentrate
your efforts near the sharp breaks leading into the channels and deep
guts. Slow sinking lures such as Corky's and small plastics on the
lightest jig head you can find have been best. Warmer weather is just
around the corner and fishing patterns should start changing before
long. keep your chin up, things are gonna bust loose here in the near
future!

3-1-10 I
hope your weeks are going well and you are getting fired up for some great
fishing trips. The weather has been in the mid to high 60's with an
occasional shower...beautiful. The fishing is heating up also just read
the following report. A friend of mine called me the other day and was
some kind of excited. He, his son, and the two grand kids caught "45"
Reds, nine of which were keepers up to 25 inches. Wow!!! Needless to say
they were all "some kind of excited". My buddy loves to fish and to be
able to have this priceless experience with his family
is...well...priceless. He told me the fish would play with the live
shrimp, but would inhale the dead. This stands to reason because the water
is still a little cool and an easy meal is the ticket. I told him for the
March 1st report I would save mine for another issue and I would include
his this time. Well there it is! "Spense" if I would have had ya'll's
picture I would have included it too. Maybe another day. As far a YOUR
"priceless experience" please give us a call ( Rockport # 432-349-0353)
and book a trip or two, or e-mail us at

2-15-10 There is not much to
report so far in February except bad weather for fishing. I have been able
to fish a couple of days and there are a ton of 14 inch trout in our bays
They are biting lures, plum and glow sand eels produced the most fish .
The better keeper size trout were real shallow in a foot and a half to two
foot of water. The smaller fish were in 3-4 foot of water. We have already
had as much rain this year as we had in September last year. In my 25
years of guiding every year of the El Nino results in great spring
fishing. Rain does wonders for our bays and marshes. There is still no
live bait down here but a couple of my friends who catch live bait have
started to catch a few live shrimp up around Port Lavaca. I t will not be
much longer and live shrimp will be available. This next week following
February 14th is supposed to be real nice weather I sure hope so. It's
almost time to really start fishing for real so now is the time to get
ready, I am real excited for spring and big trout to return!
Good fishing to you all!

2-15-10 The flounder are back!
The 2009 Fall flounder run was one for the record books, even though we
could not gig during November and had lower limits(5). It seems as though
the flounder had a very good year up and down the coast, as was evidenced
by the strong run of large fish into late December. We think that the
lower limits and gig closure during November is going to pay off in a big
way in the next few years. These new regulations will likely make it much
easier to find quality flounder during the spring and summer, and we are
already starting to see the positive effects. After a month of not
going gigging, we finally fired the boat up last night to see if any
flounder have showed up in the back bays. It was a simple scouting trip to
look for fish and see if recent rains have had any effect on water clarity
in our usual springtime spots. In the past, these mid-February scouting
trips have usually resulted in seeing many undersized flounder (non-spawners)
with an occasional keeper fish. We pulled up to our first spot of the
night, and started the airMotor to get us the remaining 100 yards to
shore. Before we made it to the bank we had seen 3 keeper size flounder
and several fresh beds. As we made it into the shallow water near the
bank, we realized we had stumbled on the mother load... There was a
flounder about every 30 feet down the bank, with countless fresh beds all
around. In the first 5 minutes, we saw approx 20 keeper flounder, with
most being 16-18". Since we were strictly scouting, we decided to not to
gig anything, but just to look at potential areas for upcoming trips. A
few minutes later, we decided to leave the area to see if the same thing
was happening in other locales. We made about a 20 minute boat ride to
another shallow cove and pulled in on the bank. Here, we did not see any
flounder for about 10 minutes, but the first one we came across was at
least 25". We continued down the shoreline for another 15 minutes, seeing
six more flounder that were all over 20" (no small flounder in sight!). It
was great seeing all those big flounder back in the bay doing there thing,
and even better knowing that the population may be coming back in a big
way...But, it was very hard to resist sticking a gig in them... By
the way, we have just finished construction of our new flounder boat. It
offers the latest in customer comfort and safety, including: full interior
LED lighting, swivel bucket seats with airRide, custom memory foam front
seat with backrest, new handrails near console and rear seating areas, and
a fully enclosed back deck. The boat is powered by a new 115 Evinrude E-tec
and a new 20hp. Honda airMotor with a new quiet-tip prop and custom
mufflers.
