"Hunger Games, Coastal Version"
Posted By Kris/ In Castaway Lodge Hunting Fishing / Wednesday, December 16, 2015
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".
Full Duck Limits & Max Redfish Boxes
Posted By Kris/ In Castaway Lodge Hunting Fishing / Monday, December 14, 2015
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.
"Pulling Levers & Tightening Drags"
Posted By Kris/ In Castaway Lodge Hunting Fishing / Monday, December 7, 2015
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.
HOT BARRELS AND SMOKING DRAGS ON THE SEADRIFT RIVIERA!
Posted By Kris/ In Castaway Lodge Hunting Fishing / Monday, November 30, 2015
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.
CAST AND BASTE, SMOKED TURKEY HORIZONS!

Fishing continues well above expectations amid the milder weather.
"SWEAT EQUITY, FIN & FOWL FEST"
Posted By Kris/ In Castaway Lodge Hunting Fishing / Monday, November 23, 2015
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.
"BLACKENED BLUES & REDS"
Posted By Kris/ In Castaway Lodge / Thursday, November 19, 2015
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.
"FIELD OF DREAMS AND BULL DURHAM IN A BLENDER"!
Posted By Kris/ In Castaway Lodge Fishing / Monday, November 16, 2015
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.
Back Lakes Beat Down!
Posted By Kris/ In Castaway Lodge Hunting Fishing / Thursday, November 12, 2015
Pre front action over mud and grass pockets lit up the day with Capt. James Cunningham and Capt. Chris Cady bending the boards with Trout & Redfish.
