Wasn't easy but filled the morning with action using popping corks and live shrimp fishing one to three feet of water between solid rain events in POC. The guys ended up with a good take of three redfish and a black drum for the table. They released a few fish voluntarily and then a few broke off too. Great morning on the water with less angler traffic due to the storms. Get ready for a great Fall

Today’s couple on their first anniversary celebrating by going fishing and now that’s a recipe for a long happy marriage! Morning started off slow, but absolutely gorgeous light north wind low humidity gateway to a gentle northeast breeze. We enjoyed a bite until around 10 AM when it shut down had to throw back oversized speckled trout and we popped a couple of redfish off, but managed three solid redfish-two of which were tournament quality fish 27 inches and 26 inches. What a morning to be alive and fishing on the Texas middle coast

Sat 9/26 – Seadrift I hosted two gentlemen from Central Texas on a last-minute trip, and we went out with one simple mission: catch whatever would bite. And boy, did we! These guys weren’t out for a meat haul — this trip was about the experience. We loaded up with three dozen live shrimp and four dozen croaker before heading out under a cool, calm Saturday morning sky. A northeast wind slowly gave way to a southern breeze, as is typical here after a front. The water had a little off-color tint, but it was definitely fishable. No major freshwater inflow from the Guadalupe, so the northern country looked perfect. The only thing missing early was the fish’s appetite — the morning bite was quiet. But today wasn’t about numbers. And then it happened. Everything you could imagine came to play: ladyfish, alligator gar, redfish, speckled trout, stingray and just about everything in between. The guys were totally relaxed, soaking it in, reminding me that sometimes it’s less about quantity and more about the quality of time on the water. Later, a buddy told me about his own trip — his crew scratched out a decent box of black drum with a few specks for the table — so it sounds like everyone on the water was finding a little success. Until the next report — tight lines!
