"This week inshore we have had awesome fishing! Light winds, jetty-channel area live shrimp.... 4 person limit of sheepshead, a few reds and 30 more throwbacks after limits kept!"-Captain Mike
The freezer full, our forearms sore, and a few beers in, we slowly headed back to shore. I dozed off when a shriek brought me back. The girls, laughing, and pointing with phones, had a made a new friend. An enormous Sea Lion had boarded the swim plan on the back of the boat and was very politely eyeing the leftover bait fish we had on board. I nervously slid closer to toss him a fish which he caught in the air, not unlike a good Labrador Retriever, and slid back into the deep blue waters.
On Saturday February 13th, 2021, a low-pressure storm system developed off the coast of the Pacific Northwest and moved onshore over the Rocky Mountains. The storm immediately caught the attention of The Weather Channel, earning the name “Winter Storm Uri”.
By Sunday, February 14th, Valentine's Day, Uri had already made it to Texas' doorstep- over 170 million Americans (over half the U.S. population) were placed under weather alerts across the country, and Texans braced for impact.

Inshore fishing is what people typically think of when they think red fishing in Texas. Picture huge flats with some grasses on the bottom and potholes where the redfish will hang out, large mangrove islands where the redfish might catch the current just right to hang out on one end of the island and wait for food, or marshy areas where the redfish might relax around openings in the marsh to catch a snack on the way in or out. Knowing the tide can be critical to flats fishing, and making sure you have a boat with a shallow enough draft is necessary. You can throw out a drift sock and cast off the boat, or (Attison’s favorite) hop out of the boat and stalk your prey on foot.

As you'll see above, we had a blast fishing with our guides and will be sharing more on the trips on our blog over the coming weeks. From largemouth bass in Mexico to year-round red snapper out of South Padre to hefty speckled trout in Baffin Bay, we're excited to share what we learned and lived.
