Captain Susie enjoyed Guiding Charles and Shaya from Austin for their 36th wedding anniversary fishing trip. It was their first time to fish the Lower Laguna Madre.

The early morning cruise out the Arroyo Colorado proved to be quite enjoyable for them as they sighted many beautiful shorebirds stalking their morning meal. Once out in the bay, a lone coyote was spotted along the shore as he also stalked his breakfast.

Charles and Shaya had come to fish but also enjoy birding and seeing a gaggle of Roseate Spoonbills in flight over the water with the morning sun glistening off their pink spread wings made the trip all the more rewarding. Even though the wind was howling, Susie put them on lots of fish on the grass flats and in deep potholes. They had a great time landing a respectable stringer of both redfish and speckled trout. The lure of the day, without a doubt was the Salt and Pepper Bass Assassin with chartreuse tail.

I had the pleasure of guiding Dr. Sally, her daughter Sarah and Dr. Phillip all from the Fort Worth area, on Friday and Saturday. Winds gusted up to 35 knots both days, which all but eliminated fly fishing for Phillip and Sarah. Occasionally, we would try drifting deep potholes but most of our time was spent sight fishing the crystal clear water of the white sands. The high winds made it incredibly difficult to make an accurate cast but plenty of fish were spotted and caught in spite of the wind. A day after their departure, Dr. Sally sent me an e-mail with photos. She said “Thank you so much for a great fishing charter!!! You found lots of fish for us, the boat was super and we all had a great time!! I look forward to booking with you for next year!” Sally, Sarah and Philip were a great group to spend a couple of days with on the water. They were good sports and dealt with the windy conditions like real troopers. They fished hard from start to finish each day and I hope they don't wait a whole year to come back.
