Hello Friends, it looks like we are entering our normal Summer pattern
with warm temps and lot's of people on the water. The weather over the
past two weeks has reverted back to Spring-like conditions. The wind
started blowing again and the temps went up. Fishing has slowed somewhat
with the full moon, higher winds, and lower tides. Most of all, we need
some more rain to lower the salinity in the Bays. Right now it seems that
the morning bite is best. After noon it really slows down as the wind
picks up and the water temp increases. I am still throwing Croaker in
water from three to four feet, over grass, for Trout. Over the next few
weeks I will switch to Piggies. They are still a little small but will
work if you put two on a hook. The Redfish have moved off the shallow
shorelines and have been in two to three feet of water in the potholes.
I'm using cut Menhaden, Skipjack, and Mullet for the Reds. Neither the
Trout or Redfish bite has been real aggressive. You just have to wait them
out and hopefully work up a good box of fish. Patience has been the key to
a successful day. Just keep moving and look for pockets of bait. |

6-16-09 Well the weather remains hot
and so is the fishing. The trout action remains steady with some really
nice fish being caught. As I'm writing this report my client Thomas
O'Boyle caught a nice 29 1/2 in trout yesterday. I've been concentrating
my efforts in the Upper Laguna but its been worth it. Croaker remains the
best bait but it wont be long and the piggy perch will be big enough and I
will make the switch. Don't miss out on the hot action and book your trip
today. Capt. Terry Coufal |

Can you say speckled trout. The trout have been consistent on croaker. We
have been wading to catch them, and we have been fishing in the boat with
fish up to 23 inches. The key is current and grass beds in the 4ft depth
range. I am also catching redfish using skip jack that I catch while
fishing for trout. Their meat is oily and helps the redfish locate it due
to the oil emitted from the meat. This may not be a sexy way to catch them
but it is extremely effective. I have been taking flounder gigging trips
at night and having a blast with my clients. What a blast, if you have not
done it and would like to go ; give me a call or email me and I will show
you what you have been missing out on. COME ENJOY THE NIGHT
LIFE............. Until next time be safe, observant and enjoy fishing, Capt. Tommy Barnard |

6-16-09 Hello
To Everyone and thank you for your response on the "Fish and Hit" trips.
It is especially fun for me to see the young ball players eager to learn
more about the game of baseball. As a professional ball player I was
fortunate to be a part of several, several clinics such as what I am
basically doing at this time with the "Fish and Hit" trips. Thank you
again for your support and interest. Now let us get to the fishing! The
salinity level is still very high and we need rain to help "freshen the
bays"! Fishing is OK, but should get better and better if we could receive
a few good rain showers. Right now we just have to fish a little harder to
find them. A couple of days ago I was scouting for fish for the upcoming
guide trips. I found keeper Trout and I found keeper Reds. The next day
with clients we caught only a few keeper Trout, but caught 15 Reds with 5
keepers. The next day with two clients no Trout with 16 Reds 6 keepers.
When we have found the Trout they are in 3' to 5' of water and we have
been catching them on croaker. The Reds we have caught are in 18" to 2' of
water and we are catching them on cut mullet. Please contact us by giving
us a call...432-349-0353 Captain Lanny Phillips |

6-16-09 Hello to all, the big talk
around here this last week has been the wind and the heat. The wind should
start laying down soon, hopefully, but as for the heat, it's going to
continue. So if your planning a fishing trip anytime soon, remember to
bring lots of water, sunscreen, a hat and sun glass. With that said, the
trout bite has been steady in 3-5 feet of water on croakers but look for
them to be switching to piggy perch. When the Piggy's get a little bigger
the trout will make a change and Piggy's and that will be their food of
choice. It will also be the food of choice for the Red Fish as well. As
for artificial throw top-waters early in the morning. Then switch to and
1/8 ounce jig in bone/diamond, plum/chartreuse or a gold spoon. The
Redfish bite continues in 1-2 feet of water. We have been using menhaden,
cut pin perch and a skipjack if you can get it. If you want to fish
artificial throw top-waters early and then go to a 1/8 once jig head in
bone/diamond or a gold spoon. We will be approaching a very busy weekend
on the 4Th of July. Boating traffic will be heavy. Give your fellow
fishermen and ladies plenty of room to fish and enjoy the water. Above all
be safe and have a great holiday weekend in south Texas. |

6-16-09 The flounder gigging over the last 2 weeks has been good, especially on nights with lighter winds. We have been getting between 10-30 fish each night with an average size of 16". Last week on a trip where we gigged 30 fish in under 4 hours, one of the fish was 27" long and weighed 7 pounds. With the recent increase in winds over the past week, the flounder gigging looks tough... As soon as the winds drop below 20 mph, we should be back to 20-30 fish limits on every trip.

6-1-09 "Hello Everyone" June is here and some great fishing is on right now. The wind has calmed down the last few days and the Trout are snapping in the surf and at the wells and grass beds have all been good. The best bait has been croaker (free line them) they are small this time of year but are working well as they get bigger they will cull out the smaller Trout. Red fish have been good also and they are liking cut live pin perch, finger mullet, croaker and cut skip jack, fish shallow in pot holes up on the flats or you can drift and throw plastic and cover more water. I still have dates open in June don't wait to long to book your fishing trip are it may be hard to find a open guide. Visit my web site - Click Here!

6-1-09 Finally, here about 2 weeks ago, the wind decided to quit blowing so darn hard making our trout bite really turn on because of the green water and higher tides. Limits have been almost easy for me while wade fishing the outside beaches with sand & grass. Boat fishing for trout has been good too, but I can't seem to "get away" from wading right now. By far the best bait going is live croaker. The trout have been hammering them to say the least! I have had some really nice mornings too throwing topwaters for trout where I find a lot of nervous bait while bunched up together real tight like. Since the wind quit blowing and we finally got our bull tide in here, I have not been red fishing at all for the last week or so. Prior to the winds dying, my clients were having some exceptional days catching limits of reds in the back lakes though. I'm sure the reds are still there, but trout fishing has been a welcome change of pace for me and I'm sticking to the trout for now.
