Beyond that we are moving into second gear on construction efforts with the new lodging and additional land acquisitions. Temperature at the lodge is "smoking hot" and we are very blessed business wise. Thank you all SO MUCH!

We've got to get lucky every now and then and the front arrival couldn't have been timed more perfectly. Just add a little cooperation from the birds and everything will be good. The guests had a nice hunt yesterday afternoon taking full Redhead limits on a "Diver shoot".
The ducks and blistering hot fishing pace made up for it, however. We managed a run unseen during the first split with limits coming in for our guests on all hunts.
From hot Redfish action to mixed Trout and Redfish working mud/grass, having multiple hot spots and "choices" is a good thing and we took full advantage. Go to on Trout and mixed Redfish was utilizing scant supplies of live shrimp under popping cork; Redfish have been best on shrimp and cutters over mud pockets and heavier grass venues day to day.
The Alexander's made it in on schedule with no problems from AZ for their visit dating back every year for over two decades. We welcomed some new and returning faces as well with eager youngsters and wives in for a first go round with duck hunting. All in all, I just had to step back and admire our Band of Brothers (our team of Guides) and the wonderful spirit of our visitors.
Schools of solid Redfish have been the target with windward and grassy beds being the hot spots from the Matagorda Island to shaller bays including Shoalwater. We even had some fast action pre-front in the North end of San Antonio Bay scouting ahead of trips and checking mechanicals on a boat.
Wendi is meticulous in preparation of everything but her approach to Blackened Redfish/Trout & our all time hands down favorite Blue Catfish from the Head of The Bay is time tested. She washes the filets and pats them dry with paper towels.
For us here at the lodge it was a fun time blending Field of Dreams; For Love of The Game; and, Bull Durham all into one and taking place right here in Seadrift! A bachelor party sometimes turns into a class reunion and that was the case over a very special weekend here at the lodge.
Centrally located in Seadrift, Texas, Castaway Lodge encompasses two adjacent campuses covering 3.5 acres with 700' of bayou frontage and 15,000 sf of comfort, convenience, and privacy in the Heart of Seadrift!
