Fishing has been great over the last 7 days, but totally different this year than previous years. Usually by now the sheepshead have started moving out and the reds are gettin full on hungry and bitin, but we are still catching some sheeps as of yesterday along with more keeper reds, some trout, flounder and even some bull reds. Wind has been pretty brutal, so jetty fishing is hard this time of year, but we are seeing some bull reds move into the jetty along with jack crevalle. The flats have been hit or miss and you just have to really know fish patterns to stay on top of finding them. There are bull reds bitin in spots I haven’t seen before, and the trout seem to be much more active, but we are catchin lots of shorts. It’s not hard to find fish, but it is fun this time of year to figure out what the fish are bitin on and when they are the hungriest. They might love some soft plastics one day, then hate them the next and want some live bait. That might even be the same scenario from morning to afternoon and since I am on the water almost every day, I see the changes. Yesterday was a slam of a great morning with my two customers, but by my afternoon trip with only one customer on the boat, even though we caught 8 different species of fish, all but two were short of being keepers. We did come home with fish for him to take home for dinner, but we fought hard for it!

With temperatures on the rise the reds have been moving into the back lakes. Perfect for chasing them with the airboat where outboards can't go.

Redfish and trout are starting to make their way onto the flats as they warm up in the midday sunshine. We are seeing a mass of bait push its way north from the land cut and Baffin Bay into the upper Laguna which will mean shorter runs in the boat...

Trip: Whacking Ducks in North Rockport
★★★★★
We had a great trip with Corey. In spite of strong winds forcing us to less productive areas, we caught 6 assorted keepers - including a couple of 25" reds - and released a bunch more. Corey was very friendly and accommodating, and his boat was very comfortable and well equipped.

I recently had the pleasure of hunting with Captain Kyle, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the entire experience. From the moment we arrived, Captain Kyle was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about duck hunting. The setup was perfect, and he took care to make sure we were comfortable and prepared before heading out. Captain Kyle had an impressive understanding of the area, knowing exactly where to find ducks and when to call. To top it off, Captain Kyle was friendly and easygoing, making for great conversation and a genuinely enjoyable experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Captain Kyle to anyone looking for an outstanding guided duck hunt.
