PUBLIC LAND HUNTING in Texas and across the country has always come with two challenges: finding the right place to go and then learning how to navigate it once you get there. In the old days, hunters carried folded topo maps, compass bearings, and maybe a worn-out county atlas…

THE OUTDOOR WORLD has lost an icon. Legendary outdoors television host and personality “Cajun Phil” Broussard has passed away.
Phil wasn’t just a fisherman or a hunter. He was a voice for the outdoors culture and a man who lived every day in tune with the marshes and waters of his home state and beyond…

THE FANTASTIC FALL FISHING is in full swing here on Sabine Lake. The more frequent and stronger fronts that these last two months of the year will bring should kick it up a notch as we transition into the cold water season. Exciting times are upon us as we are thankful for everything the holiday season stands for. That excitement seems to spill over into our bay system…

MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR has arrived.  Cooler weather, working birds, giant Redfish, Deer hunting and time with family means the Holiday season has arrived!  There are so many different opportunities for fishing Galveston Bay this time of year.  Whether you like fishing the jetties, backwaters, drifting over mud and shell or wade fishing, the entire bay system can be very productive…

BRISK NORTHERS have overwhelmed the summer heat.  Water temperatures have dipped.  I’m grateful for the cooler temperatures and so are the fish…

WHEN THE CALENDAR FLIPS to November/December, coastal anglers know the shift is more than just cooler mornings and shorter days.  Fall brings a cascade of changes across the Texas coast, and with them, some of the finest fishing opportunities of the year…

IT IS FINALLY ONE OF my favorite times of the year. A lot of people have moved to the woods to chase after their monster. The water has many fewer boats, pressure is low, and you don’t have to be up early to go catch either. You can leave the early mornings to the duck hunters, and I guarantee they will appreciate that as well.

THIS IS THE TIME of the year we are all beginning to be rewarded from enduring the hellacious summer heat like we do and fall back to the trusted patterns year after year, slow and steady wins the race…

WHILE NOVEMBER AND DECEMBER can produce good days of fishing, this is also the time of year the weather starts to cool off, fronts start to move in, and conditions can be a little unpredictable around the Baffin Bay coastal area…
