The redfish run came later this year and didn't last as long as we usually get BUT while it lasted we brought some monsters over the rail! Here are some pics of trophy reds we reeled in these last few weeks....

Fishing has been tough on the weekends due to excessive Fishing pressure. However, the fish are biting in the out of the way spots. Finding clear-ish water, baitfish and current is the key.

All has been greatWe've been busy fishing the past few weeks. Here's a few photos from the past month's trips. Fishing has been great in the marsh and bayou using popping corks with live shrimp and soft plastics.

Cody Phillips with Texas coast charters Dickinson, Texas Reported: 1 year ago

Man the last few weeks have been so much fun! Literally non-stop action from the beginning of the trip to the very end. Some trips we even had to go buy more bait because we had caught so many! We have been targeting oyster reefs in 2 to 4 ft of water on an incoming tide with a popping cork and shrimp suspended 1 ft below the cork! From monster reds to delicious speckled trout and black drum with the occasional big sheep head in the mix! If you're looking for a Non-Stop action trip with lots of laughs, give me a shout!

Capt. Tim put us on fish right off the bat. The boat was a great rig. The cold front had slowed things down a little bit this guy just wouldn’t give up. We will definitely look him up next chance we get. Tim is your guy if you’re considering a gigging trip.

We enjoyed the fishing trip with Ralph. He tried really hard to get us to where the fish were biting.

First time fishing with Captain Jay and what a great trip! Probably the most fish I have ever caught on a single trip. He was extremely knowledgeable and a blast to fish with. Fished under birds and caught back to back Trout all morning that were just undersized. Jay knew we wanted keepers so we kept fishing till we got on a sand Trout honey hole. Captain Jay was kind enough to extend our trip so we could keep filling the ice chest. Thank you Cap! Look forward to our next trip with you.

Mike was a super guide. He worked hard for us. Unfortunately we only got 2 keepers But, if it wasn't for Mike's eagle eye would not have gotten those. I'll definitely book with Mike again one day.
