Spring fishing - Run with the Bulls!

Apr 7, 2024 Houston

Every season has something to offer anglers of all skill levels. This Spring, we have been catching quite a few bull reds and keeper black drums. For those who don't know, bull reds are redfish, also known as red drum, which are 28 inches or longer. Slot reds are redfish you can keep which are at least 20 inches long and up to 28 inches long. We usually hook up on one to two bull reds per 4 or 5 hour charter. Last Sunday, was exceptional, as we hooked up with 5 bull reds on just one charter. We also have caught some slot reds and keeper black drums over the past few charters. The fish bite isn't constant, like it is in the Summer. Summer is when you are likely to run into many more fish species such as croakers, lady fish, pin fish, and so on. The upside to Spring, is when you do get a bite, it's almost always a quality fish. The other obvious thing about fishing this time of year is that the weather is super pleasant! There are only a couple of months left in Spring, so book your fishing trip with Captain Mark as soon as possible.

Hi Domingo, thank you for your review! It was my pleasure taking you and your family out on the water and putting you on some fish. We had great weather and it looked like everyone had fun! I hope you all enjoyed the filets from the 2 slot reds you all caught! I also liked seeing the Mangrove snapper you caught. As I told you, we rarely see them in these waters. I look forward to seeing you all again some time soon. Take care! Captain Mark

Hi Melissa, Thank you for your review! It was truly a pleasure taking you and your friend out on the water and putting you on fish. Congratulations on all of your catches! Booking us for 5 hours allowed us to fish a variety of waters including Trinity Bay, Clear Lake, Taylor Lake and Clear Creek. We had wonderful cloud cover and a nice gentle breeze! Dolphins even came up to our boat to greet us. What a day! Thanks again for choosing Clear Lake Fishing Charters! We hope to see you... More
