"Longbeards, Yellow Iron, & Texas Pipeliners"

Castaway Lodge Seadrift Report
By Capt. Kris Kelley

Sponsored by: Mercury Marine; Air Ranger Airboats; Haynie Bay Boats; Baysport Marine Victoria; JL Marine; CorrosionX; Pure Fishing; and, Bob's Machine Shop.

Fishing has softened up a bit after the cool front mid-week.  Water levels fell out and the guides were reporting some tight lip action going on all over the bay system.  Digging in with 40 guests of Garney Construction and Caterpillar, we made the best of it with "airboat redfishing" shining through taking limits and all but the early return boats managed to post up decent numbers.  We also welcomed "Skinny Kenney" with guests of Texas Pipeliners and Brian Miller group for a bachelor party.  What a great bunch of folks.  

Airboat Trips

Capt. Chris Cady reported some of the deeper back lakes were just "chocker block" full of hungry and aggressive Redfish.  The low water conditions have them piling up in the few deeper locales and it's just been a spectacle.  

Flounder Gigging/Wade Fishing

We're going to make a run at the flat fish late week with two crews on the gigs.  It should be a lot of fun.
