Tails of 4 Redfins and 4 Black Drum
Little wade fishing on the fly in Baffin Bay.
POC and Seadrift TX 3-26-2021
Fun day catching some redfish on the 6wt fly rod. Windy conditions with off color water.
Popper Dropper Fly Fishing for Speckled Trout
This speck struck at the popper multiple times as I started to pick up the popper dropper fly rig to recast. I stopped the cast and got to see the fish hit the popper one more time, then abandon the popper to eat the dropper. I got lucky, because this fish hit the dropper so hard that I was able to get the slack out of the line and get her hooked.
Float the Guad for Fantastic Fly Fishing
Joined Levi for a scouting trip down the Guadalupe River. I got my first White Bass on fly. I also made casts at a dozen or so big carp. Levi got a Guadalupe Bass with incredible markings.
Drift on the Fly
Drift fishing for Speckled Trout and Redfish with a fly rod in the Seadrift and Port O'connor Area
Port O'Connor & Seadrift Area Scouting Trip
Spent the day checking on a few areas, but when I saw some reds working down a shoreline crashing bait, I had to get one on video. In my haste the fly line got wrapped around the rod. Thanks to slickness of the lines being produced nowadays, I did not notice it until editing the video, but don't do it! LOL
Breakdown Bonanza
Picture the scene. Spun prop hub 5 miles from the boat ramp and 10 miles from where we wanted to fish. The boat could make about 5 miles per hour on the bad hub. We limped over to the nearest lake where my guest Ted proceeded to catch 6 Black Drum and 4 Redfish on the fly!
Hill Country Fly Fishing
Took a break from the salt to chase some Texas Hill Country River species. Everyone caught multiple species. Everyone caught their first of something. I caught four new species on fly. Our host Levi got his first two Rio Grande Perch on fly.
Tails of 4 Black Drum and 4 Redfish
Landed 4 Black Drum and 2 Redfish. Got to cast at two more huge Redfish!!

Congrats to the 2020 Nueces County 4H Trap and Skeet Fishing Trip Winner. Bays and Clays donated the trip which was part of the bucket raffle to benefit the Nueces County 4H Trap and Skeet Team. The raffle was part of the fundraising at the annual shotgun competition including Trap, Skeet, and Sporting Clays.
The lucky winner is pictured with a black drum caught using shrimp and speckled trout using artificial lures. This was his first experience fishing with artificial lures.
Bays and Clays was excited to support the event and will be donating another trip in 2021!
