Chefs, Big Bites, and Early Action on the Water!
Tough having a James Beard awarding winning chef who has been on Food network a few times , and is the owner of Burnt Bean Co Bbq in Seguin Ernest Servantes, in addition to an American Royal Grand Champ Jay Tinney on board together. 😳 I felt like a guywho bbques hotdogs next to these cooking machines. Fortunately for me they are both great humble guys who love to cook, fish, and hunt. Great time today with these men. If not for all the catching and releasing Ernest Servantes was doing early on, we would probably have had our limits of fish by 8:00-am. 🫢😂 If you’ve never been to Burnt Bean Company in Seguin, put it on your bucket list. You won’t be disappointed!! Might I recommend the Blue October 🤤😮💨 #lamoscacharters #NewWaterBoatWorks #texastacklefactory #doalures #waterloorods #finsbraid

September Fishing Frenzy with Redfish Killers!
Not sure if I’m coming or going right now. The whole month of Sept is a blur. Lots of fish caught & filleted and many more left out there for another day. Wish I took more pics but 🤦🏻♂️. TTF Redfish killers were on 🔥that even the bottom feeding mullet couldn’t resist!!🫢 Best time of the year to be out there is now! What you waiting for?🙂 #lamoscacharters #NewWaterBoatWorks #texastacklefactory #doalures #finsbraid

Hungry Reds and Two Days of Non-Stop Action!
Team NewWater! Capt Me🪰 Capt Jaime Lopez🐐 Capt Xavier Lopez 🦮(🐩🫣inside joke 😂) Capt Fred Robles 🐎 Capt Trae Peña 🐅 4 Ibis’s 1 Stilt. Decent couple days of fishing this group from Tomball and surrounding areas. (*pics do not include Capt Fred Robles haul since he was the last boat to return to dock) We often get asked, what were they biting? For these two days, plastics of all kinds were being destroyed (TTF for me and Capt Trae), Top water action was good with blowups every 3-4 casts, spoons we on fire, flies were being inhaled on sight. Lol. Didn’t really matter. Fish were hungry for the most part and they showed it. 🙂 October into November is my favorite time of year for hungry reds and no 100 degree days. Time to fish!! No group is too small or too big!!! #lamoscacharters #NewWaterBoatWorks #texastacklefactory #doalures #waterloorods #finsbraid

TTF Lures Keep the Rods Bending!
Had a blast today with these’s guys. Didn’t matter what color we threw, TTF did what it do. Client wanted to throw some Gulp and cut bait, but eventually gave in when the catching was being done by TTF lures. Thank you Capt Jaime Lopez and Ronnie Alaniz! #Lamoscacharters #NewWaterBoatWorks #TTF #waterloorods #finsbraid
