Background
I was born and raised here in Port Aransas and I've been fishing these waters for over 30+ years. I try and fish 360 days a year whether it's with clients or myself, so to say I've got lots of knowledge of the surrounding bays. I like to site cast for Redfish.

We won 1st place Redfish men's guided division, 1st place Black Drum men's guided division, 1st place Black Drum women's guided division, and 2nd place Black Drum women's guided division. Fishing has been really good this last month or two!! We started out at 6am for our redfish and Ba BAMM an hour later we were done with them,( limited out). Then we moved on to our next species Black Drum and wouldn't you know it Ba BAMM found them too!!! All I can say is fishing is on fire!!

May 7, 2017 Port Aransas
We had a quick and exciting trip this morning with catching 8redfish and 1 big speckled trout. These two gentlemen caught the limits and got to use there oversized redfish tags. We finished catching our redfish limit this morning in about an hour and a half which was pretty quick. Then we took a short boat ride to go try and find some black drum which were being elusive and ended up running into a bigger school of redfish and caught our oversized redfish plus that big trout. I can say that it was a very successful trip!! Thanks guys and hope to seaya in the near future,,,Thanks Capt Steven
