Fishin at the Bluff in July 2008

Ok, I am going to start this week off with a bit of movie Trivia.

In the movie "Castaway" star Tom Hanks removes his own tooth with:
a) a pair of crab tongs
b) a pair of pliers
c) a pair of socks
d) a pair of ice skates

You can find the answer at the end of this report.

So.... Fishing has really picked up on The Laguna Madre. BIG catches of Trout and some real nice Redfish. The Red's are ranging in size from 20" to 44". Large Trout are being caught down around Baffin Bay.

Wade fishing seems to produce better numbers of Flounder than the boats this last week or so but the boats are still producing great numbers as well.

For bait right now Croaker are very slow for some reason and live shrimp are few and far between. Mostly on the weekends Piggy Perch seems to be in good numbers. Piggy Perch grunt just like Croaker. This makes them a great target for all species.

Remember we offer professional guides for hire. Inshore & offshore.

Offshore fishing is off to a great start! Snapper, Ling, Dolphine, Shark, Amber Jack and King Fish are being caught.

We are also selling Ribon fish, Bay-hoo and Squid.

Stay with us on your next visit to Corpus Christie for Lodging, Food and a great fishing adventure.

We offer a full line of information for you and at no cost!

Since everyone has probubly heard about Hurricane Dolly, I decided to get you a little forcast together to insure you a great fishing trip. Looks like she isn't going to bother us much and next week is nothing but sunshine!

Have a great week!

The answer to the trivia question this week is D "Well it was only one ice skate (along with a rock) to bang it out."

Join us again next week for more Trivia!

It was a wet one but a great one!

If anyone skipped out this past weekend you sure did miss alot. We had rain but "man-o-man" did we have some good hauls of fish! The 4th was a blast, our guides went out Saturday and Sunday and they didn't even have to go too far away from the Marina to catch the big ones.

Here is our very own Kathy Akin with a whopping 27 inch 7 pound Speckled Trout.

Her family was taken out by Captain Steve Jorden, her son inlaw also caught a Trout that was 27 1/2 inches and 8 pounds!!!!

Janis Lindeman was celebrating her July 4th Birthday with husband Harvie and good friends, Captain Randy Pryor and his wife Jackie. Her Birthday present to her self was catching this 27 inch trout!


Here is another set of handsome gentlemen with there fantastic catches from this weekend. Great Job!!


I'm sure everyone is singing, "Rain rain go away, come again some other day". Well looks like you are in luck. Friday - Monday looks to be clear Skies in the mid 90's with a chance of clouds on Sunday but I think we are clear of rain for now.

Remember to call in you orders for live Croacker, the fish are still eating them up like crazy! Please call (361)937-7101 or make any other reservations online at www.Bluffslanding.com.

Everyone have a great weekend and catch some fish...........

Fishing Report June 30, 2008

Fishing still remains good with good catches of trout using croaker.




This is 7 yr old Mathew Seymore the Third. Captain Rick Loveday took out Mathew, Grandpa and dad out on June 9th. Mathew also caught 2 over sized reds, 2 legal reds and several of their 30 trout. Good job Seymore family!!!

It has been a slow year so far for croaker because Mother Nature steps in sometime to slow the process of evolution.

Redfish are moving north towards the jetties to spawn.

Live shrimp are available and Piggy perch will be here soon. These are as good as using live croaker, mullet or any other baitfish.

Don't forget to make you'r reservations @ bluffslanding.com for July 4th! "This Friday!"

And remember to be safe and stay out of trouble you don't want to end up like Jimmy!

"Some times even us at the office have too let loose every once in awhile :)"



ALL OF US AT BLUFFS LANDING WISH YOU ALL A VERY
