Seadrift Bay Fishing Reports

Redfish mixed with big schools of Black Drum got jumped by Capt. Chris Cady and Capt. Donnie Heath working with Cast & Blast guests after morning hunts.

Mostly strong shoots for guests during the opener with a mixed bag of among our 14 different species which can hit the blocks day in and day out.

Flounder Gigging Wade gigging proved less affective than Flounder Boats that were able to located fish in soft and bottomless bayous where the fish had congregated.

ournament Reds have been in abundance, fish pushing right at the 28" mark, and that's made for lots of drag burning runs taking our equipment to the limits.

We'll be looking for big winds out of some direction to really start to set things up for strong feeding catalysts ahead of and through weather systems. Periods of instability right now can make for some memorable trips and great days.

Gator Dodson, yep that's his real name his parents gave him after the character from Smokey and the Bandit played by Burt Reynolds. He was a guest during the season and he was kind enough to bring his 1951 Mack Truck that was "tricked out" on the Vegas Rat Rods TV show on The Discovery Channel.

Clients are enjoying the spectacle that can only be experienced as our wranglers chase down lines and big Texas Lizards making memories of a lifetime.

Explosive action on schools of Redfish solid and bursting the slot to 32" have come to hand on both artificial lures and live bait. Talk about kicking Septebmer off right! Light Northerly winds and blown up tides seem to be the ticket.

It was a fishing blowout extravaganza with the guides hitting it hard and heavy from South SAB to the surf. From wade fishing to boat fishing the surf, guests managed solid action on Trout to 25" and Redfish beyond the slot.

Blistering action over mud/grass in deeper swales in the back lakes surpassed guest expectations on Airboat and Bayboat trips of late. Thursday was a mess as the winds snapped overnight catching some of the guides still hoping for a look at Trout, but those making the switch to Redfish had the best luck. By Friday we were "fully engaged" in Redfish pursuits with memorable results.
