On our most recent trip we decided to target slot redfish specifically. They bite turned on about half way through the trip and the action was a blast.

The last couple weeks have been pretty productive despite the heat. Lots of big trout can still be found when the winds die down to fish the open bay. The rest of August looks very good and the fishing should continue to get better as we get some rain.

The Dog Days of Summer
What can be said, it is HOT!, the weather that is. Catching redish and trout freelining live shrimp or croaker along the rocks. If you move away from the jetties out on the beach front its sharks aplenty with cut bait.
As we move thru August and into September the over sized Red drum (Bull Reds) will start showing in the channel and surf. Have to get out early and get it done.

What's Biting in Hitchcock

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.
