The last week has been a blur and just flying by with lots of great fun and fishing. We'd like to thank everyone that has come for visit and just made our first fishing season after the expansion a huge success. Guests are loving the bayou facilities; pavilions; horseshoe pits and that big ole limestone fireplace on the burm.
Capt. James Cunnigham reported full limits of Trout on a two boat trip with Brian S. and guests on Monday as things settled out a bit. After that it was back to big winds and big tides rising as TS Cindy approaches the La. coastaline. Working mud/grass in protected locations had decent catches of Trout and a very few Redfish.
Longtime guests of the lodge from Brenham to San Antonio just had a ball with the fishing early and mid-week. Trout limits and some decent Redfish action made for a great time. We were proud to welcome the Hermann party along with Frank, Ronnie, and Luis with Frank's Paving in mid-week.
Mother Nature has pulled the curtain back uncloaking concentrations of Trout over big water open bay structure and the fishing couldn't get much better. Solid Redfish have been holding to the same structure in tight on shell reefs with scattered "tournament class" fish preferring sand/mud of late.
This week we'll pick our new 2017 20 x 8 Air Ranger from American Airboats in Orange. Our 2015 20 x 8 will be out there for sale if anyone is interested. Motor is still in warranty through the end of the year.
For us there was lots of action on the flats and back marsh environs heading for the big Holiday! Capt. Kolten Braun started things off right with Trout and Black Drum limits working deep shell on PCS.
Centrally located in Seadrift, Texas, Castaway Lodge encompasses two adjacent campuses covering 3.5 acres with 700' of bayou frontage and 15,000 sf of comfort, convenience, and privacy in the Heart of Seadrift!
