Mud Pocket Meltdown
Castaway Lodge Seadrift Report

Back Lakes Beat
Good Trout coming off mud/grass is the report in the back lakes ahead of the big blow. Redfish mixed with big schools of Black Drum got jumped by Capt. Chris Cady and Capt. Donnie Heath working with Cast & Blast guests after morning hunts. Guests as part of a group from one of the largest Drywall Contractors in the Nation came from as far away as Colorado for the trip. Mud/grass pockets have been the best intercepts of late once the schools are located. More awesome fishing ahead, come see us!
Duck Report
Good shoots throughout the mild weather, some better than others but everyone having a great time. We’re sending everyone home with plenty of mounts.

Class act from the food, to the lodging & duck hunting. The entire facility was top rate & I really appreciated the effort.
