Ghost Writer Free – Authentic Mid-Coast
FEBRUARY DATES ARE IN “TAKE DOWN” MODE
FEB THRU APRIL – FREE LODGING ON WADE FISHING TRIPS – BOOK DATES BY 1/31 AND SAVE!
Nice little cool front hit trading decent wind velocities this morning and building with cooler temps this afternoon. For guests from WI and San Antonio, this meant a great look at Texas Duck hunting and blistering Redfish action. Cold fronts are feeding catalysts for these fish on this stretch of the coast and that means they’re piling up at the dinner table ready for a feast. No need to make it hard, just grab a jacket and get bowed-up. We’ll be piling it higher and deeper heading into February, come join us. Check out our Photo Gallery
Free Lodging – Trophy Quest or Load The Boat Special – We’re offering free lodging for wade fishermen on trips booked between now and January 31st good for trips in the months of February, March, and April. So get out your calendar and come experience wadefishing artificial Lures with the best guides on the water in search of Trophy Trout & Redfish on the bays and Back Lakes environs of San Antonio Bay. 8,000 outdoorsmen follow us on Facebook
This stretch of the coast fishes on hard wind and weather during the Spring like no other and that makes for explosive encounters with feeding catalyst driven schools of solid fish. Experience personalized instruction and techniques, tips and tactics for any location. Relax at the lodge and enjoy some of the best dining and relaxation available on the Gulf Coast. Come join us at huge savings! Mention Promo Code TROPHY2COOL!
Airboat Fishing – We’ve gotten a little snap back water as winds let up and later this month we’ll be looking for a big push of water as winds transition toward the East. That big push of water will be “the spark” that lights the flame on absolutely amazing trips for Redfish and slot Black Drum in the back country mangrove lakes of Matagorda Island. We’ll be running 5 boats deep bringing you the most amazing ride on our Air Ranger airboats and absolutely amazing fishing. It’s a look at fishing on the Texas Coast you just won’t see any other way. Get your trip scheduled today!
