Laguna Madre, TX Redfish

Had the pleasure of spending two days in Laguna Madre TX with Mark Bange catching Redfish. After a quick trip from Baltimore to Harligen Texas on Sunday we treated ourselves to fine Mexican dinning before heading over to lodging on the water. Both days went about the same. We started out around 6:30 AM to slick calm conditions for a short run to the flats. Casting to tailing fish from the boat and wading at times gave us fairly steady action. We had great action for several hours both morning before moving on. The wind began to pick up around 10 getting progressively stronger making casting and just keeping the fly line on the deck a challenge. On our first day we fought it out with gust up to 30knts. Second day was a bit lighter but not by much. We saw plenty of fish both days with many hooked and landed. On our second day we had 3 hours of hot action to end the day with about 10 fish landed in those final 3 hours. We ended the two days with about 40 Redfish landed and probably 3 times that many sighted and casted to. I caught a few Speckle Trout casting off the deck during our first night. Overall wonderful trip once again. Texas never disappoints.
