Trip Summary

Today was an absolute blast out on the water with Vicki and the crew. February is a great time of year for fishing here, with the Spotted Seatrout and Red Drum (Red Fish) really active in the mild conditions. We met up at 7 AM and couldn't wait to get the lines in the water and see what the day had in store. As soon as we got set up and started working the flats, the fish started hitting. Vicki was the first one to hook up, her rod bending over as she battled a nice Spotted Seatrout. After a solid fight, she brought it in, and we got a good look at the beautiful spotted pattern before carefully releasing it. Not long after, one of the other anglers hooked into a nice Red Drum that had us all cheering as it made a few good runs. The action kept up steadily throughout the morning, with everyone getting in on the fun. The weather was just perfect - sunny skies, light winds, and comfortable temperatures made for an incredibly pleasant day on the water. Between the steady bites and the beautiful scenery, it was one of those trips that just felt right. Even when we didn't have fish on, we were able to kick back, enjoy the view, and have some great conversations. That's what makes these trips so special - it's not just about the number of fish, but the whole experience of being out on the water together.

Half Day Morning Bay Trip: Solid Redfish
Half Day Morning Bay Trip: Solid Redfish
September 5, 2025
Ruben and their crew joined us for an early morning fall trip with clear conditions throughout the day. The weather stayed consistent, giving us solid conditions to work with on the water. We headed out with Today We Fish Charter and Adventures for their 1/2 Day Morning Bay Fishing Trip. We focused on bottom fishing, casting with lures, and bait fishing to target the redfish that frequent these waters. The combination of techniques worked well, and we managed to connect with some redfish during our time out there. These methods are reliable in this area because they cover different parts of the water column and give us multiple ways to present bait to the fish. We wrapped up the morning with some solid action and good times on the water.
