"Escape to the Texas coast where the waters whisper adventure, and the quiet moments stay with you long after you leave."
Early Teal, Dove, Waterfowl and Night Vision Hogs
Our most popular hunting trips frequently involve a morning or afternoon of bay fishing for Trout and Redfish. These combination trips offer the best of the Texas Mid-Coast and make for memories of a lifetime. We offer cast and blast combinations trips including a morning duck hunt followed by an action package afternoon fishing trip.
Early Teal Through Big Ducks
September finds us in hot wing shooting for early Teal then hitting the water mid-morning for fishing. On Dove hunts, we always fish the mornings then come back to the lodge and relax and retool for afternoon hunts. During the regular waterfowl season starting around the first of November, we typically hunt the mornings then come back to the lodge for a hearty lunch and retool for afternoon fishing adventures.
Night Activities, Night Vision Hog & Flounder Gigging
Night Vision hog hunts are a ton of fun, conducted at night over baited locations with professional blinds or spot and stalk during the September grain season. We shoot the latest generation of Night Vision using AR-15's in heavier calibers. We can add night activities like hog hunting or flounder gigging to any trip package.
"A place where mornings start on the water, evenings end by the fire, and friendships are forged in between."

Welcome to the ultimate destination on the Texas Gulf Coast for Specks and Reds. Join us for a day on the water fishing for Seadrift Trout & Redfish from our fleet of Texas style flats boats including the all new game changer on the water, the 23 Haynie Cat.
Airboat Redfish Guides
Welcome to the leaders in airboat redfishing trips on the middle coast for two decades! Hop in one of our newest American Airboats and let's get into the back country with the best fishing guides on the Texas coast! If you like a big fight, put this fish in six inches of water and HANG ON! Texas Redfish are known for big things, and you'll love the pull of a fish that just doesn’t want to give up!
Wade Fishing
Getting wet is an approach favored by avid Texas Saltwater anglers. We offer wade fishing trips for our guests that "prefer" to wade fish. There are days when this is a tactical advantage due to wind and weather. Whether using live bait or artificial lures, wade fishing the reefs, shorelines, and back lakes is sure to get you close to the fish.

Night Fishing - Beat The Heat & The Crowds
We have these exciting trips packaged with lodging and meals and you'll find the "guide to pricing" helpful in putting together a trip. Arrive here at the lodge and enjoy dinner before heading out into the early evening hours as we look for water and fish just before dark for areas of emphasis. The rest is what memories are made of and you'll return to the lodge for a shower and comfy place to sleep as our guides clean your fish. It doesn't get much better than that!
Flounder Gigging
We call it "walking" others call it "wade gigging", regardless, gigging is absolutely lethal on foot and an all around best approach especially when water levels in the bay are very low. On low water, Flounder Boats have a tough time getting to the fish, wade giggers don't. Our guides will be right by your side as they show you how to work hard bottom shorelines in less than knee deep water using our custom LED gigs.
Poling Skiff Fly Fishing
Enjoy a feet dry approach to your passion as we pole the endless abounds of the back marsh lakes looking for that fish of a lifetime. From big speckled Trout to Redfish busting the slot; to big water species like Jacks Crevalle, Tarpon, and Tripletail; we look forward to putting you in position to make the cast of a lifetime. Pricing is set in packages for one to two person groupings per boat. Multi-boat trips are available for larger groups.

Tarpon, King, Jetties
We work the tide lines and bait pods around the Port O’Connor jetties, drifting live baits and sight-casting artificials to rolling fish. It’s all about timing, teamwork, and a little bit of luck. Our guides have been doing this for decades—reading the water, chasing the birds, and knowing when to make that perfect cast.
