In the last 7 days. Catching plenty because of hard work!!! Anglers are complaining about fish being in very odd patterns due to temperatures all over up and down, and atmospheric pressures the same but I am still finding them!!!

With colder temperatures of the waters fish have been moving and staying in schools so when finding fish at the feeding times the bite is non stop

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

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,...

    Mackie was a great guide!! Highly recommend him for anyone looking to have a successful day of fishing! The music on the boat was a bonus. He really worked hard to get us on a sheephead, and we endef the day with a nice red!

    Mackie put us right on the fish from moment we anchored and guy was on his job as a guide. Then after we put the specks up moved us to a spot where we landed a 40inch red. Definitely booking with him again made memories of a lifetime today!

    Had a great time with my son and I on this fishing charter. Brad found the fish and we brought in a nice haul. I'd definitely recommend a charter with him.

    We had a good day on the water with Mike! A weather front was moving through the area on our day to fish, so consequently the bite was inconsistent. We were able catch several fish, bringing in 8 fish to clean. The fish we caught were spotted trout and white trout. I was hoping to catch a sheep head and some red fish, but they were not biting that day. The highlight of the day was catching a small stingray. I’ve never seen one in the wild before so that was pretty neat. Of course we had to release him. I have been with many guides and Mike was very professional.
