Quick mid day trip, fishing the major with the boys. Free-lining croaker & piggy perch were the ticket. The reds wore out the boys!

5/25/25 - Nueces bay wade

Had a group from San Antonio that came down for a day of wade fishing. Took us a while to find some bait, but once we found bait the trout bite was on fire during the major feeding period. All fish were caught on MirrorLure lil johns in the Molting & Golden Bream fishing a grassy bottom in the 2 - 4 ft of water.

defaultImg

5/13/25 - Wade w/ the boys

Made a quick wade with the boys close to the house since winds are cranking out of the south at 30+ mph. Got them a quart of live shrimp, and they went to town throwing live shrimp under popping corks. Got into a school of black drum and found a few reds mixed in the group. Decided to keep a few for the frying pan.

4/4/25 - Quick Morning Trip

Had a buddy want to bring his kids down to do an afternoon trip while in the area for a sporting event. Went out and fished the late minor & loaded up with 2 limits of reds & a few trout 5 minutes from the boat ramp. Fish were all caught on Lil johns & Down South Lures.

defaultImg

1/8/25 - Morning Wade

Had a returning group of waders that were looking to target big trout. We weren't able to get onto the big trout but did find a big mess of reds in the 24" - 32" range. Bite started prior to the major feeding & was on fire for almost 45 minutes. All fish were caught on Mirro Lil Johns, Coastal Brew baits & Down South Lures.

defaultImg

6/17/24 - CC bay wade

Met my College Station (whoop) clients at Conn Brown boat ramp in Aransas Pass, Tx. Made a little trip to Shamrock Island in Corpus Christi bay. Picked up a few decent trout and then had 2 boats come up on us. Guys asked to go fornsome reds so we hopped over to Pink Shack Cove where it was non stop red action with a few bonus flounder. Thanks guys for thebooking!

defaultImg

5/28/24 PM trip - Mesquite / Ayres Bay

Met group at the St. Charles Bay boat ramp in Rockport, Texas. We made a little run to Mesquite Bay where we started off the afternoon in Bray Cove. Lots of bait present in Bray but no size to the fish. We continued working the shorelines up towards Ayres Dugout where we started seeing better fish & released a few oversize trout with the biggest one going 25". Customers kept a few for dinner.

5/24/24 - Aransas Pass

Launched out of Conn Brown in Aransas Pass,Tx. Had a SE wind of about 18-20 mph with gusts up to 30. Founds lots of bait along the Lydia Ann channel west shoreline. Live croaker was the ticket to a fun filled day on the water.

defaultImg

5/7/24 ~ AM Wade

Met my group at Goose Island State park in Rockport, Tx. This group asked if we could fish St Charles bay so thats what we did. We got on the water 6:15 amd found lots of bait stacked on a flat. When the moonrise hit at 6:30 it was non stop action till the end of the munor bite at 8 am. We would have had a 3 man limite of trout but with the new regulations my guys were 1 trout ahort. Caught a few overs with the biggest going 26". All fish were caught on the Lil John soft plastics.

defaultImg

4/29/24- Ingleside

Launched out oof Conn Brown Boat ramp in Aransas Pass, Texas. Had a father & son that wanted to learn some new areas around Ingleside where they are in the process of closing on a home. Started off around Cooks Island, lots of bait and a lot of small trout. Then we just worked our way down the La Quinta channel fishing potholes.

defaultImg

4/27/24 - Aransas Pass

Met the group at Cove Harbor Boat ramp in Rockport, Texas. Offered this group a better day due to the strong winds but they said they wanted to fish. So, I decided to stay close, bounced around and found protected shorelines that produced lots of reds and a few drum. The Texas Rattler jig head & the watermelon Lil john was a deadly combo for us.

This fishing trip was one for the books. Dustin was an amazing guide, and helped us make some pretty awesome memories on Father’s Day weekend. He knew all the great spots and my 9 year old son had a great time as well. Highly recommend, as we will definitely be seeing him in the near future.

We all had a great time on our half-day fishing trip with Captain Dustin! He was able to immediately analyze our needs and make the trip enjoyable for everyone. We will surely be back and booking with him next year! And the redfish provided us with a great meal last night as well as fish tacos for lunch today!
