Redfish Take Top Spot, Trout Push 23″
Castaway Lodge Seadrift Report

Big winds and gutted water has fishing “on the bubble” taking a defensive posture with no definitive outlook other than lots of challenges. We managed to beat up limits of Redfish today along with a few Trout to 23″ with other boats near limits on Redfish. A weather advisory came across my desk with big storms in the forecast for tonight. We certainly got drenched a few times today.
Our young guns are out of school and decking for us. Today I had Kolten Braun aka “K-Dog” helping me and Capt. James Cunningham had his son Justing the last few days. Along with my son Stephen, the Fresh Princes of the Drift are heading to Capt. School this Fall. Yes, that should be interesting.
Lots of fun down here at the lodge, construction has finally seen the last nail driven and guests are enjoying some stunning detail. We hope when you get a chance to melt down that you will give us a shot. We’d love to have you.

The entire facility was top rate & I really appreciated the effort. And thanks for supporting Serve Outdoors Texas charity by donating the hunt.
