5-16-2013: Hello To Everyone, I'm not going to tell you I told you so, but...I told you so!!! The weather stabilized for a while and as far as I am concerned the Reds turned on. We had a 6 boat Tournament this last Saturday and my clients whacked the Spotted Tails. They had their lines broke twice and one guy caught not only his limit, but "TWO" Cow Nose Sting Ray. The crazy thing about this day was we did not have a bite, not a bite, till 1:00pm/1:15pm and then lines began to sing. Limits were had and fishing was done in and about an hour! I went back to the same general area two days later, did not wet the first hook till 1:15pm, but had the same results. Fun, Fun, Fun, for everyone! All these fish, but one were caught on Menhaden and in the sand pockets. If ya'll would have been here you could have limited out, too. The second trip was during the week and there was very, very little boat traffic. Please give us a call and lets go fishing.

5-2-2013: I cant believe we're still getting some cold fronts into south Texas!! We're getting one every week so far which throws a "wrench" into my fishing plans but my clients and I have been getting it done! Redfish have been great for me and we've been limiting out on them every day except for one day last week when we fished on a day that either I just couldn't do anything right, or the fish were not there due to me not being able to see or catch them. I don't know which one to blame it on, but that day was a tough one for me. Most of the reds have been good quality averaging around the 25" mark, but we've had our share of larger ones too, along with an oversized fish or two also.  We have also seen our water levels come up and warm a bit which has also moved or scattered the fish, but these fronts are keeping our water temps from rising too fast. Plus the rain we've been getting has also kept our water temps from rising very fast as well. Trout are still slow as far as I know. A client and I threw plastics a little while after he caught his reds, but we only managed to catch a couple of throwbacks. Live croaker have not shown up at the bait stands as of yet for those of you wondering about them as bait. I still have a few weekdays left yet to book in May if you're wanting to get in a late Spring fishing trip before the air temps start getting hot so give me a call today before they're all gone.
Until next time remember when the cards are down and the bet is called, you have your ...

Spring is in the air and its time to go Fishing!!!!!!
The Offshore Fisherman have been coming in with limits of Atlantic Sharpnose Shark, Kingfish and Ling.

Live shrimp has been readily available. Croaker are still on the small side but healthy and very fishable at our marina. We still have live Sealice and Blue Crabs. The choice of dead bait has been Menhadden and fresh dead shrimp. Time to plan your fishing trip. Red Snapper season starts June 1st and goes thru June 11th.

5-2-2013: Reds are still in style. Jumping in the boat most of the time. We are just hanging the bait over the side of the boat and they jump up for it and I hit them in the head with a small baseball bat. NOT. LOL. I wish. The reality is red fishing is good right now using live and cut pin, perch and sea lice. Just roaming around the flats in Rockport area. Fish in about 18 inches of water where bait fish are plentiful.  Call me Capt. Deano: 361 790 3364

CURRENT FISHING REPORT

5-2-2013:  Hello Everybody,  Weather is the word. We are getting frontal systems weekly dropping the temperature into the high 40's and lower 50's. The water temp is up and down and that is greatly affecting the fishing. Normally croaker are available now, but they are are very small and not growing as they should. Trout are here, but with the lack of bait and stable water temperature catching them will be difficult unless you are using shrimp or soft plastics. Red fish on the other hand are being caught consistently with boat limits being the norm. Reds are eating perch, shad and sea lice. Overall catching is good and the new prediction is croaker are about two weeks away.
