Last 12 days with strong winds and cold weather found plenty of trout during my last 10 trips. The reds are a little slow for the season and trout running big. Caught many 18.5 to 21 inch trout

First Last

First Last Galveston, Texas Reported: 1 year ago

Dust off your 10wt - the big girls are in the marsh, the water has dropped out, and the forage is plentiful. Shots on big fish with explosive shallow water eats are a daily occurrence this time of year. The schools of bull reds have broken up and they’ve become more solitary as they prowl the shallow interior marshes hoovering up shrimp, crabs, and every living creature unfortunate enough to cross their path. The water has dropped out for winter, concentrating the fish and making them easy to spot. The wind can be a little unpredictable, but in between fronts, the fishing doesn’t get any better than this.

Ryan was very welcoming with us and accommodating to us. He kept us fishing in some windy waters and was patient with the mistakes made due to the wind. We caught some redfish and some drum to fillet out. Will definitely book another trip with Ryan.

Mark did a great job and knows the area well. I brought my 3 boys (7, 10, 15) and Mark was patient, hospitable, knowledgeable, prepared and hard working. We caught a variety of species and had a great time. We would go back again with Mark!

Trip: Sheepshead Smash 3Hour
★★★★★
Captain Ron was an amazing guide. He was funny and joked with us the whole time and he made it seem like he was a friend taking us to fish rather than a random guy who has a boat. We had two boats for the trip and there is not one negative thing to say about either guide. I’d tell anyone to book with Ron if they were fishing in Louisiana 10/10 times.

Jason worked hard for us in difficult circumstances…very windy and choppy. Regardless, we had a great time and he was able to find a spot that got us into some fish. Highly recommend him and his bait to anyone.
