Day trip with kayaks. Contact "Puck" for details.
My take aways from this past weekend is: Be very patient and try not to hurry shots. I found that if I had a fish that was fairly close and not spooked, toss the fly out leading by 5-8 feet at the distance needed and wait, stripping only once the fish is in range. This saved me many blown shots.
There be many trips for redfish before I ever have another experience as these 2 days (if ever). The redfish fishery on the middle Texas coast is strong ( there has been some great trips this summer for myself and friends). Practice catch and release, you don’t always have to keep the limit but please enjoy some of your catch if you wish.

Texas fly fisherman catches potential world-record blue catfish
Fish were caught. Fun was had. 7 was a great size, everyone had 2 per room except 1 single. Group dynamics were very good. 10 – 15 winds most of the time Total of ~ 2 hrs of light rain during fishing hours. Rained hard the 2nd night for a few hours. No injuries with lots of smiles.
Fishing was extremely slow. There were pogies and mullet in the surf, but nothing was eating them. No birds were working all the way down to about mile marker 50
