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.
Hottest Baits: Gambler Lures in the colors of Keylime Pie, Plum/White and Copperfield.

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!!!

South Texas Shoot-Out and Fishing Report 6/4/09

The first annual South Texas Shoot out is right around the corner! Click here for rules and registration.

Laguna Madre/Baffin Bay — Trout are scattered or in low concentrations from Pure Oil Channel southward. Most fish are being caught with croaker from Baffin Bay to the Landcut. Water clarity is good in Baffin, Rocky Slough, the Meadows and Yarborough. Plum Bass Assassins worked near the mouth of Baffin, along with croaker and live shrimp. In the back bay, anglers continue to catch trout on paddletail soft plastics and purple Devil Eyes this week in the back of Baffin Bay, around protected shorelines with rocks. The south end of the Landcut remains hot for trout and reds on croaker, with a few flounder. Drum are there too. Nine Mile Hole and Yarborough also has some reds.. The King Ranch shoreline continues to produce scattered trout.

Fishing Report 5/12/2009

Tide runner trout have been coming in from the Gulf of Mexico. These fish return to the Laguna Madre to lay thousands of eggs in the warm undisturbed waters, they are fat and full of eggs. You can find tide runner trout moving in the Land-Cut or Baffin Bay area. Fishing has improved in the Upper Laguna for both redfish and trout. The Packery Channel is also producing tide runners. Live shrimp should be plentiful thru May. We will be getting croaker and piggy perch soon to offset the shrimp.
We’ve been receiving a lot of registration entry forms for the South Texas Redfish Shoot-out. The tournament is June 12th -14th. First place payout is $15,000, second is $10,000 and third is $5,000!
