Water is slowly cooling with cooler nights. Moving muskies up shallow on stained water lakes.
Bass and walleyes didn't like this cool down. But last couple weeks were crushing them. Just take then a little bit to move to early fall patterns.

Fishing the Coastal Bend in Port A and Aransas Pass has been steady even with water temperatures in the upper 80's and low 90's. Red Drum being caught on cut mullet, and Piggy Perch up shallow near grass lines. Black drum are scattered in deeper water off channel edges. Lots of trout being caught on grass edges with Piggy perch.

The bay fishing has been tougher lately, but we are still catching some solid fish. This super hot weather has pushed most of the fish into deeper waters. Catching some heavy speckled trout on both live and artificial baits. Working the deepest water I can find with heavy rigs and slow-moving baits. Catching a few redfish out on the grass flats once the wind starts to pick up. Expect the bite to get better throughout the next couple of weeks.

Had a father-and-son team out with me today for a half-day fishing trip! 🎣 They traveled all the way from England to experience some Texas fishing on Lake Conroe. Everything was new to them, and it was the first time either one of them had ever caught a catfish. We didn’t catch any monsters today, but to them, those catfish were plenty big! 😁 It was all catch-and-release, and they caught and released a bunch of those little rascals! 😂 Being a guide has its perks—you get to meet people from all over the world. 🇬🇧🎣🇺🇸 Thanks again, guys, for...

Trout have been red-hot on the Upper Laguna Madre — but only for early risers. Once the morning heat sets in, the bite shuts down fast, so if trout are the target, get on the water at first light.
As the morning warms, we shift gears to redfish. Once the sun climbs high enough to cut through the water, we start sight-fishing shorelines in about 2 feet of water. Bait activity and diving birds are the giveaway — find them, and the reds usually aren't far behind.
**Bottom line:** Trout early, reds mid-morning. Watch the bait and birds.

I have been getting limits of trout in the bay, drifting with soft plastics on mid bay reefs or anchored over deep structure on live bait. We are also seeing better number of trout & reds showing up at jetties. Red Snapper fishing remains hot offshore.

Anthony was great company and he knew just where to take us so we could have a good trip! Even got to see dolphins and catch a shark which was unique for us… I recommend Anthony and I will 100% book with him again next time we make it out to Galveston!
Captain Ronnie was great! Although we didn’t catch our limits we did catch some red. I caught a gar, and my wife took home the pride of catching the most and the biggest.
All in all, I would for sure recommend Captain Ronnie, he was personable, kind and wanted us to catch fish so he stayed out a little longer than he had to for us to catch. We did, and I’m grateful because this was a birthday gift for my wife. She had a great time. I didn’t have any pictures of her with her catches. The sunrise was what dreams are made of. The picture doesn’t do it justice…it was beautiful!
Took my 14 year old son fishing with Grant and I was so impressed with his knowledge and hunger for perfecting his craft. My son has followed Grant’s videos for a while, so he was on cloud nine with him! Grant was so kind and patient with my son. We both learned a lot and caught some big ones! Highly recommend Grant, it was a true privilege to fish with him. Lake Austin is beautiful by the way.
What a great day on the water! Mark was an excellent guide and used his knowledge of the bays to fill the ice chest with 10 keeper reds for our group. My son caught his first limit of redfish and I was blessed to be by his side. Mark was alot of fun to hang out with and I highly recommend him for anyone looking to catch fish, laugh, and enjoy a beautiful morning. Thanks Mark! Best birthday ever!
Our Gigging trip was super fun.Captain Tim Woernley was very knowledgeable about flounder and their whereabouts, putting us on the meat within minutes!! Tim and his crew were very polite and accommodating helping us get our limits and clean our fish within 5hrs.Thanks again guys!!
