Brrrr! Its freezing out here The weather as of late has been... interesting, to say the least. Apparently winter isn't quite finished with us yet. It's been cold, cloudy, rainy, foggy and blowing like hell out of the North. Any one of those will wreck a day of fishing. But all of them together, consistently, is just not fair. This has surely been the roughest patch of weather all winter for us. A typical day or two of junk, then some nice days is the usual. This is just hanging around for upwards of a week at a time. Unfortunately this weather was here for all of Brian's

Love the blue in a redfish tail. Nice shot here on the release While the Northeast continues to dig themselves out after yet another winter storm, we were back on the water today. The Texas Coast didn't completely avoid the weather though. We had a couple of days of very high winds, rain, clouds and cooler temps. But after clearing a little ice off the skiff this morning, we were ready to enjoy the upper 60's and calm day today. Fishing today was about what I expected. Coming off of two cooler days, there weren't an abundance of fish in shallow on the flats. There were targets, but

Nice red caught near Port Aransas The days continue to get warmer and warmer... for the most part. Sunny days are a bit more of the norm now, with some light prevailing winds. Excellent fishing weather. The past few days have been very good for trout in the morning, then good redfishing throughout the day. We are seeing the occasional tailing fish, but mostly fish that are cruising and laying up shallow to warm up. Most fish are cooperative or at least interested in a good cast. Especially those in less than a foot of water. But there are plenty of shots to be had each day. Fishing

A nice 3 spot specimen. He only had 2 on his other side. We finally have strung a few nicer days together as of late. Today's high temps reaching the low to mid 80's, depending on where you were. After a few nice days in a row, the fish seem to be taking notice. We found a real good number of fish in shallow today. Also, more really nice fish than I had been seeing as of late. Some nice fish were schooled up and cruising the flats very near some soft mud. But even better, we found some of the largest fish tails up on the flats

    Slot red near Rockport, TX After a pretty rough December and early January, mother nature finally decided to cooperate a little bit. The past week has given us favorable/damn near perfect days to be out on the water. We're talking 70's, clear and dead calm... PERFECT! It was a far cry from previous weeks. And to have three or four days like this in a row, well deserved. So we took full advantage and got out every day. A couple morning proved to be a little tricky. Many of the larger reds we found shallow were a little finicky. We had a bunch of follows to

Tanya showing off her first redfish on the fly Got out for a few hours this morning to check out a little new water and try a few new flies I tied. The wind was calm, which was nice. Unfortunately some cloud cover would come and go, making visibility pretty tough. Despite that, we did see a bunch of reds laid up shallow in the grass and a couple of tailers. Tanya got this guy throwing in shallow to the grass. He gave her a heck of a fight, spooling her on her 7wt... twice. This was her first redfish on a fly. All in all, not a
