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.
The rough weather over the weekend brought us the first decent cool down of the season and a bunch of ducks. First let's get to the fishing. Capt. Chris Cady had nailed down a solid topwater scouting on Friday and his words were "go with a topwater and don't take it off". Saturday's trips with bait found Chris and Capt. Kolten Braun hammering back lakes Redfish
High tides continue to be a theme through the Super Moon cycle and that continues to take the Capt's of Castaway Lodge ultra shallow. Solid schools of bruising Redfish and Black Drum have been foraging on freshly flooded flats with comfy water levels leading to explosive action for our guests.
Redfish action continues strong as Capt. Chris Cady noted over the big holiday with full limits for guests. Mud/grass venues remain the go to with elevated tides opening up some hot spots. September is a month of transitions in terms of approach and bait choices will begin to vary with artificial approaches moving on the upswing in effectiveness.
Snap back bull tides continue to be the only "mine field" we continue to struggle with as the Texas Coast continues to hold lots of sea water. No matter how strong the Northerly fronts are, any let up in the wind velocities and you can expect 10 to 12" of water to come rushing back.
Not much fishing going on the last few days but the waterfowl schedule continues to impress. We've welcomed folks from the Carolina's; Indiana; Connecticut; and Minnesota boys arrived today. This last stretch of weather found us taking solid numbers of puddle ducks with divers really putting the icing on the cake and making for some breath taking afternoons.
