Guided Mr. Larry McAdoo this morning. Larry is a Houston transplant, a fellow Hewes owner and an excellent angler. After this morning’s rain showers we hit the water and immediately found the redfish and trout. Ended up with 15-20 great speckled trout and 5-6 small but legal redfish. All fish caught on Berkley Gulp! Jerkshads and all fish released. Please click on images to enlarge and view...

Guided Dr. Roger Orth and Dr. Wayne Adkisson this morning. Started out early in the bay system looking for some redfish and speckled trout. Found nice concentrations of both immediately in 2-4′ of water. We absolutely hammered the speckled trout with mostly legal fish and some 3# fish mixed in. The redfish were a bit sluggish as they have been for the last few days but we did hook a few only to drop the hook. We totaled around 25 quality speckled trout and kept 10 for dinner at Roger’s this evening. The second part of the morning, we explored the surfline at the beach in search of pompano and redfish. Only saw a few fish, but it won’t be long as we had a south wind and clear water conditions. Just need more of the same. All fish taken on Gulp! Jerkshads and Marsh Works...
Read MorePompano Pre-fishing at Redfish University-March 4, 2010
With many pompano sight fishing trips in the coming weeks, especially in late March and early April, we got out this morning to do some looking around. Met my friend and website designer, Randy Hamilton, at 9am and headed towards the Pass. Slow-cruised the beach until we found an 1/8 mile stretch of relatively clean water and started looking. As predicted, we found some pompano relating to deeper holes and washouts. We saw 7 inactive pompano in a 45 minute period but well-placed casts couldn’t entice a bite. They acted like they didn’t even see our Gulp! Ghost Shrimp and orange/pink pompano jigs. Most fish seemed to be quality pompano in the 2-3# range and the numbers will improve drastically with warmer temps, warmer water and with any southerly winds. Soon, very...
Read MoreShort trip, short fish at Redfish U.-March 3, 2010
Had a short trip this morning for some redfish and trout. A more instructional trip but surprisingly, caught quite a few. Started in some protected waters and immediately caught a handful of decent trout including an estimated 5# fish that fell off at the boat. Traveled in the open bay(1-2.5″ chop!) to some protected banks and found some relatively clean water. Pop-corked and ran Lipless Cranks to score some small redfish with a few small trout mixed in. Also cranked some deeper structure and picked up a small redfish. Fishing is tough but they’re still around. All fish caught on Gulp! Jerkys in camo, 3″ Gulp! Shrimp in lime tiger and Lipless Crankbaits KVD style! All fish...
