Fishing Report 6/2/2010

17 lbs of reds...all tournament anglers goal.

The past few weeks in Baffin and Upper Laguna have been all about catching...We ended up with full limits of trout on every trip and caught and released several more trophy trout, but none bigger than Cliff Swift's 9 3/4 pounder he caught with me back in April. This year I gave a free Waterloo Rod to the person who caught the heaviest speckled trout with me during my Baffin season. Congrats to Cliff for a fish of lifetime, that he caught on a top water that was 30 3/4" long and weighed 9 lbs 11 oz. Once again, I want to send out a "Big Thank You" to Annette and Roger at Bluff's Landing Lodge and Marina for their hospitality for my guest and myself. I will kick off my Port O'Connor season this week and remain there through the end of the year. Hope all is well and here's some pics from the past few weeks in Baffin . Thanks to all for your continued business.

Fishing Report 5/12/2010

Lots of fish coming from the Land-cut. Baffin Bay is still holding big Trout for the wade fishermen. Emmonds Hole and Nighthawk have some nice Reds. Pure Oil to the Corpus Bay front holding lots of Trout, Reds, and Drum. Everyone seems to be using Corky Lures with great results. We now have live Croaker in good supply. Croaker are an awesome live bait so if you want to make sure to get some call ahead and we'll have some waiting for you when you get here. You must pick up your reserved bait by 7:00 a.m. As always be cautious on the water with respect to yourself and others. Keep sharp out there.

Capt. Chad's Fishing Report

Cliff with his personal best and leader of 2010...30 3/4" 9 3/4 Lbs


The fishing in Baffin this year continues to be great. We have landed many trophy trout since my last update and have obtained full limits on many occasions. Hottest lures have been Gambler Flappin Shads and Mirro-Lure He-Dogs and She-Dogs in the Green Back/Silver Belly/Orange Throat color pattern. Back on April 21st, a big congrats goes out to my client Cliff Swift when he became the new leader with his 30 3/4" 9lb 12 oz Trophy Trout for the free Waterloo rod. The fish was caught on a top water lure that afternoon. Looking forward, we will continue to run deep into Baffin in search of some more trophy trout. Most fish have been coming off the rocks in Baffin Bay over the past couple weeks, but the bigger trout have continued to be in shallower than waist deep water. This past week we landed 4 trout over 28 inches, so hold your breath a little longer Cliff, because I got some guys chasing your leading trout.

Fishing Report 5/2/2010

Well winter in finally over and Sumer has arrived! Mother Nature decides to interrupt our aquatic eco system every four years or so. A biologist friend told me back in 1968 that Mother Nature takes care of the fishing industry. Every three to four years we experience a “healthy winter” here on the coast, and this year we did just that. This year fishing will be at its best.
The land cut is still producing nice trout from the Gulf of Mexico. Redfish are being caught in the nine mile hole area. Baffin Bay is producing large trout up to 8 lbs. Upper Laguna Madre has everything including Trout, Flounder, Reds, and Drum. Live shrimp has been the bait of choice, and we’ve got plenty. We will be getting croaker in around June 10th. That’s all for now and remember to be cautious and stay safe out on the water.

Those tide runner trout I have been talking about have finally shown up. The land cut is hot for reds, trout & drum. Limits are coming from this area. I saw two pictures of trout caught and released over 10 lbs. Mother Nature is taking care of us! Lots of fish in Baffin Bay. Emmonds Hole holding numbers of keeper trout. Red fish being caught in the shallow flats. Pure oil catches of keeper trout & reds. Boathole to bayfront producing nice red fish. Hey, don't forget Bluff's Landing Marina can also book your Offshore Fishing Trips as well. Croaker are just around the corner. We've plenty of corky lures. Call ahead for your lodging or fishing reservations!

Until next time, KEEP EM SHARP!

Fishing Report 4/23/2010

They have arrived! We're talking about the Gulf Trout returning to the Laguna Madre to spawn. All these fish will be fat and the inside of the mouths will be bright yellow. A 15'' Trout from the Gulf can weigh 2 lbs. Live shrimp works the best on these fish. Live shrimp are plentiful right now and croaker are just around the corner. Red's and Drum are still being caught from the boat hole to the land-cut. 27'' to 32'' Trout are being caught in Baffin area. The best way to target these fish is to get out of the boat and wade fish with plastic lures. Plenty of Corky's available. Guides are booking up fast for the summer. Reserve your guide and lodging today with Bluff's Landing Marina and Lodge.

Fishing Report 4/13/2010

Well fishing has been hot and heavy on the Laguna Madre. Land Cut is still producing limits of Reds, Trout, Drum, and a few Flounder. Baffin Bay has reports of 10 lb Trout! We have seen some nice pictures of these big girls being caught and released. The shrimp are still running in the Laguna Madre, so we have lots of live shrimp. Bull Drum are being caught along the inter-coastal waterway. Both Red's and Trout are coming in from the King Ranch shoreline. Packery area holding some nice trout as well. These yellow mouth Trout called tide runners will be showing up soon. That's all for now check back soon for more updates.

Fishing Report

The Land Cut fishing is hot and heavy! Limits of Drum, Redfish, and Trout coming in with every boat fishimng the area. Baffin Bay is still producing nice trout in the 6 to 8 LB range. Limits of Trout coming in from Emords Hole all the way to the bay front. Look for fishing to get a lot better with tide runner Trout coming from the Gulf to spawn. Every year these fish return to the Laguna Madre to lay their eggs. Check our website for up coming events.

Bluff's Landing Marina Fishing Report March 29, 2010

Finally the water temperature in the Laguna Madre has reached high enough marks to put the shrimp on the move.

"YES, LIVE SHRIMP ARE HERE!"

Fishing has been very good with this happening. The Land-cut is producing limits of drum from 14 to 48 inches, and 5 to 45 pounds. Tide runner trout will also start showing up. Baffin Bay is producing specs in the 5 to 8 pound range. Redfish are also being caught in the Bafin. On the upper laguna side, trout, red's and keeper drum are being caught from Emmonds Hole all the way to the bayfront. Mother nature plays a big part in the fishing industry. Our tides have been pretty low. This is a good time to go for a cruise on your boat and check out the area. Find the deep water points and also the shallow water spots. Bluff's Landing Bait & Tackle carries a full line of Paul Brown Corky lures for $9.99. We've plenty in stock. Remember spring is the time for Croaker!

Call ahead for lodging and bait reservations, and also to make arrangements for a guided fishing trip with one of our great guides! Call: 1-361-937-7100

Remember: PRACTICE SAFE BOATING!

Have a great day!

Capt Chad's Fishing Report

After a few days off for spring break fishing and turkey hunting with my wife and my 2 boys I will be back in the water chasing trophy trout again in the morning...

The fishing in Baffin has been getting better and better and I am excited to get back in the saddle...The trout in the Upper Laguna and Baffin Bay have started to spawn, so we are finding most of the bigger trout in less than 2 feet of water and have also had a little bit of top water action as well. We have caught many trout in the 4 - 7 pound range with a few 7 - 8 1/2 pounders.

Best lure for the past 2 weeks has been the Gambler in the "Copperfield" color but you have to paint the tail chartreuse if the water is a lil murky and Bass Assassin in the "Chicken on a Chain" color. Best top water lure has been the Mirrolure She-Dog with chrome belly and green back.

I still have a few dates left open for a trophy trout trip to Baffin Bay and the Upper Laguna Madre...grab your rods and lets go!!!

Here's my open dates...I am staying in Baffin til May 14th

Mar 26, 27 & 28
Apr 6, 19 & 22
May 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13 & 14

March 15, 2010 Fishing Report

Bluffs Landing Marina hosted the Port O'Connor Bash this past weekend. The turn out was light but these guys really know what they are doing! There were alot of big fish brought in.

We had alot of other anglers on the water just out to enjoy the beautiful weekend. The land cut is producing alot of drum and redfish were caught in the nine mile hole. Baffin Bay was producing trout all the way north to pure oil channel. There are large drum in the 40 to 50 pound range being found in the intracoastal. Also, the snapper fishing off shore is really good right now.

We will be putting up a new fishing report every weekend, make sure you pull up our website at http://www.bluffslanding.com/ and check it out. Every week we are planning on posting new fish photos, so if you have some pictures you'd like to share send them to: shawn@bluffslanding.com and we'll post them up on our website. Just make sure you give us your name so that we can give you the credit for the catch!

This comming weekend we are hosting the Extreme Redfish Tournament. This is a tournament where the fisherman target redfish that are brought in alive and then released.

Have a great day and we'll see you next week!

Capt Chad's Fishing Report

Trout action has been heating up in Baffin Bay...the fishing has improved over the past 2 weeks and hopefully will continue to get better. Finding grass beds that are holding bait has been the key to success. We have been catching most trout on Bass Assassin Sea Shads in electric chicken and red shad colors and Gambler Lures in copperfield and plum/white colors. So far we have landed 7 trout over 28 inches and the longest has been 30 inches during the first month of the 2010 Baffin Season.

I do have a new leader for the largest trout of the year...Angler Mike Bicker just didn't catch one trophy with me, he landed 2 beautiful trophy trout on 2 consecutive days and the heaviest tipped the scales at 9 lbs...one measured 29 inches and the other 30 inches. Please remember that the largest trout landed this year on a trip with me while I am down here in Baffin wins a custom Waterloo Rod of the anglers choice. Congrats again Mike!

I would also like to announce that I have a new sponsor...Honey Hole Stringers by K-Bre Tackle Company...these stringers work great...you can find them at The Tackle Box in Victoria or at Bluff's Landing Marina in Flour Bluff...

I still have a few dates left open for a trophy trout trip to Baffin Bay and the Upper Laguna Madre...grab your rods and lets go!!!

Here's my open dates...I am staying in Baffin til May 14th

Mar 26 & 31
Apr 6 & 22
May 3, 4, 5, 6 & 11

Port O'Connor fishing dates are now open...I will kick off in POC on May 17th...so if you are interested in fishing in POC with artificial lures or live bait please shoot me an email or give me a call:

Capt. Chad's Fishing Report

Here is a fishing report from our friend Capt. Chad Peterek.

After the first 2 weeks of the 2010 Baffin Season, Dr. Mark Stevens of Victoria is a top my leader board with his personal best 29" trout he caught with me on a Keylime Pie Gambler bait...the fishing in Baffin has remained slower than normal, but we are getting a few big bites...so far we have landed 3 trout over 28 inches and I am looking for the next one to come along soon...but the past 2 weeks have been about grinding all day in some very cold and windy conditions.
Tournament News: My partner Rocky Whitley and I fished the Annual Baffin Bash Trout Tournament 2 weeks ago and ended up taking 6th place after 2 very tough days of fishing. Next tournament is the Bluff Landing Trout Rodeo at the end of this month.
