Fishing continues steady and productive as the Wolf Pack tightens the noose on schools of Redfish & Black Drum over mud/grass along with solid Trout falling to wade fishermen working sand/grass shorelines. It's been a straight up crushing crescendo with tactical shifting in approaches from boat and wade fishing depending upon angler skill sets and trip goals. Low water conditions have pretty much disentegrated to no water conditions the past couple of days and that's making for a lot of dicey running if you're venturing into the back country so be careful.
SURF OPENING UP
Capt. Kolten Braun reported solid Trout action in the surf this morning on a scouting trip and we'll be making a run that direction in the morning more that likely if the wind holds. I don't expect a prolonged period of lighter than normal winds heading into August but hopefully we'll get a couple of days out of it!
We've got lots and lots of great fishing ahead of us. So if you're planning a trip, get started HERE.

Flounder Gigging & Night Vision Hunts
At Castaway Lodge, we own the night whether it's spot and stalk varmints and Hogs during grain season or working blinds over baited locations on private land to stalking the shallow Flats flounder gigging by boat or wading. These trips are a great add-on to any fishing Adventure and we'd love to have you join us!
Alligator Hunts, Early Teal/Dove, Grain Season Spot N Stalk Hog
September is just one of those special months for us on the coast as we transition into Fall. We are the largest wild alligator hunting outfit in the State of Texas and we welcome you to pursuing your trophy in their natural environs. Tag on an Early Teal, Dove and make it a Cast N Blast or climb aboard our high racks for a South Texas Safari using our late gen Night Vision and Thermal optics. Alligator Season starts on 09/10 and runs through 09/30. This year, South Zone Dove will open on 09/14 and the 14th will be the opening date from now on until the legistlature changes it.

Season dates for the 2018/19 Season will most likely start on 11/3 and the first split will run through 11/25. We will re-open on 12/8 and run through 1/27/19. We Winter a large portion of the Central Flyway and our Big 5 are Pintail, Wigeon, Gadwall, Redheads, and all species of Teal. November and the back half of December are excellent months for Cast & Blast combinations.
