Trout & Redfish

Advance and retreat would be the theme here mid-August as unsettled winds and weather find us making adjustments day to day. Wade fishing continues strong and the best approach when winds are less than favorable for boat fishing. Pulling off big water on boat fishing trips and concentrating on schools of back marsh redfish has been productive. Windward shorelines are working with our guides and keying in on mud boils and concentrations of fish over sand humps and mud swales. Capt. Chris Cady worked over some back marsh on Saturday with slow action early only to find the fish piled up over sand. Chris said "first presentation on these fish had all the rods bowed-up with fish on. Check out our Youtube Channel

We'll be making transitions heading into September toward more Airboat fishing along with cast & blast venues including early Teal, Dove, Alligator, and Safari style high rack "grain season" hog hunting with Night Vision and Thermal Optics. 4,000 sportsmen follow us on Instagram

Flounder Gigging & Night Vision Hunts

At Castaway Lodge, we own the night whether it's spot and stalk varmints and Hogs during grain season or working blinds over baited locations on private land to stalking the shallow Flats flounder gigging by boat or wading. These trips are a great add-on to any fishing Adventure and we'd love to have you join us!

Alligator Hunts, Early Teal/Dove, Grain Season Spot N Stalk Hog

September is just one of those special months for us on the coast as we transition into Fall. We are the largest wild alligator hunting outfit in the State of Texas and we welcome you to pursuing your trophy in their natural environs.
