Started 2025 with a pretty decent day. Kenny and I took our Kayaks out to Sabine Pass for a 1/2 day trip. The tide was ripping out and probably dropped 18”-24” (mud lake was completely dry). We ended up with 9 trout the biggest was 22”’and weighed right at 4.5#. We caught 8 reds with the biggest one right at 29” and 9# on the Boga. All the fish were caught on K Wiggler Wig a Lo in The Truth and Bone Diamond. 1/4oz Jig heads fishing the scattered shell that is just south of mud lake.
Happy new year everyone, don’t do anything stupid and let’s catch them up in 2025!
Want to wish everyone a Happy New Years! Stay safe out there on the water & tight lines!
12/28 Upper Laguna
Heavy fog rolled Saturday morning causing a late start. Forecast stated it would clear up at 9am (definite lie), decided to launch and gave it to god and the gps. Headed for a shallow grass flat with nice sand holes and a near by drop off to 3-4ft. Started the morning with the Mansfield dart and changed to a 5in paddle that I felt more comfortable with fishing lower and slower. With the darker green water I started with a down south red flash progressively changing to draker colors (Mansfield marg, plum) until I got to a dark copper and black color called “color x” right as the major kicked up and caught this nice 25” trout slowly working over a sand pocket between the grass. She posed and was safely released back to her sand pocket home. First fish I caught on my new Laguna trident. The rest of the morning produced several small reds on the same copper color.
Had a great day out in Port Lavaca today. Low tide made it easy to sight cast to the reds and you can tell they’ve been eating good back in the marsh. All caught on white soft plastics with a chartreuse tail in very shallow water.
The river fishing video had some great tips that paid dividends today! Lots of fish in the 2-3 pound range then this big 7pounder came out of no where happy to her though! She swam of strong! She hit a coastal brew dart
Finally joined up here! Looking forward to the fellas putting out killer content!
I was clinching my dam checks when I boat flipped this one. I kept repeating Caleb’s instructions “point the rod down, hold the spool”. 28” on da money boga had him at 9 lbs. #headandshoulders
