Rockport Fly Fishing Report – Nov 22nd

Well we asked for some Fall weather, and look what we got. It sucks outside!!! So this may be a pretty quick and painless Rockport Fly Fishing report for the week. But since we have some time on our hands, why not at least do something with this thing we suppose? The weather is the big story lately. Today marked day number 11 in a row that we have had to cancel all of our trips. And we still have the remainder of this week that it looks like we will be kept off the water with weather as well. Not exactly what we would expect for our Fall

Rockport Fly Fishing Report – Oct 28th

Finally its Fall! And FINALLY Capt. Jeff got his act together to update the Rockport Fly Fishing Report. It has certainly been "a while" since our last. But rest assured that we have been out there most every day chasing fish up and down the flats of the Texas Coast. The fishing has been very good. Fall is here and things are finally cooling off. All positives for the fishing down here. We are still seeing schools and tails most every day. More so in the morning than anything. But finding tails anytime during the day isn't really too shocking. We are fishing all over the place lately. Some

Rockport Redfishing Summer Recap

Rockport Redfishing Summer Recap With our first cold front of the year now come and gone, we are happy to say that Summer is over and we are on to our Fall fishing season. No more hot, muggy days. No more super early mornings. And a lot more happy fish to be had in the cooler months coming. Perfect! But we wanted to take a second and look back at some of the good times had over the past few months down here on the Texas flats. Also, thanks to all the great folks that spent some time with us on the water.

Rockport Fly Fishing Report – June 5th

It June. New month, and time for a new Rockport Fishing Report. Especially since it's been a little bit since our last. So we will bring you up to speed on what you missed and what we are seeing out on the Texas flats these days. The fishing has been very good. Doesn't really matter where you choose to fish, it's just pretty darn solid out there. Big schools, small schools, tails, crashers and anywhere in between. The fish are plenty happy each day and our clients are getting lots of shots. So no complaints there. It is the beginning time of Summer around here now. So the temps

Rockport Fly Fishing Report – May 8th

We are one week into May and due for an updated Rockport Fishing Report, for Rockport, Texas and surrounding water on The Coastal Bend. It's been almost two weeks since our last report, so we will do our best to get you caught up on what we are seeing out on the water each day, and what we are expecting for the days to come. Then hopefully we will have another Rockport Fly Fishing Report for you in a weeks time. Overall, we would say that it's been pretty solid fly fishing The Coastal Bend. Really, the weather has been the only drawback for us. We've had a decent

April Fly Fishing Report For Rockport Texas – April 12th

We've been off the water a few days, watching the wind blow. So I guess we can carve out some time to update our Rockport Fly Fishing Report here in April. It's been a little bit since our last update. Not too much has changed really. But we will fill you in below on what we are doing and seeing here while fly fishing in Rockport and surrounding waters. First off... the wind sucks!!! It's been a little blowy lately. Enough so that we have scratched all our boats the past three days around here. Sustained winds in the 20's and gusts up into the low 40's mean that

Spring Fly Fishing Report For Rockport Texas – March 27th

It's the end of another week today, and also the end of Spring Break for most Texans. So after a pretty hectic couple of weeks, we are updating our Rockport Fishing Report. We will cover what all we saw on the water this past week, and also what we expect as we close out the month of March and move on to April. We've finally had a solid week of sunshine and warmer weather down here on the Texas Coast. And it was about damn time! This did great things for our fishing, compared to our last couple of Rockport fly fishing reports. The water is warming up and so

Rockport and Texas Coast Fly Fishing Report – March 21st

We were down with weather today, so a new fishing report made it on the docket. So here is a look back at how the fly fishing in Rockport, and surrounding waters, has been for the past little bit. And hopefully a look at what we are expecting in the coming weeks time. Week one of Spring Break is in the books! Week two is going on now, although things are always a little more mellow for the second week. This kind of marks the beginning of the busiest time of year around here. Days are warmer, which brings out the weekend crowds a bit more. Spring Break enhances that

Our New Black Duck Cromis with Outboard Jet

Our New Black Duck Cromis Skiff This little video was shot a few weeks ago fly fishing in Rockport, Texas for redfish. We were getting out to play in our new Cromis skiff, by Black Duck Skiffs. This skiff will be the new choice for Fly Fish Rockport when we want to get out in a micro skiff. These things are lighter, quieter and far shallower than our other Hells Bay boats. Even better, the Cromis is designed to run with a jet outboard. Hand down this is our new favorite boat! But enjoy the footage of the new boat and fishing from a calm Winter day in

Texas Coast Fly Fishing Report – February 16th

We are down with some gnarly winds today. So it seemed like a good opportunity to update the fly fishing report for Rockport, Texas and surrounding waters. It's been a little over a week since our last report and things are trying to change around here, sorta. So here is the current lay of the land down here and what we are looking at for the coming week or so down on the Texas Coast. Since our last report, it has been pretty good down on the coast. We've had more nice day than bad, which means we have been able to get a bunch of boats out on
