This yielded full limits for our guests from Pennsylvania while other guests arriving mid-day managed to take limits of Redheads on an afternoon shoot. We're just so excited to see so many returning faces from all over the Nation.
It looks like Mother Nature may finally be with us and not against us, so here we go. Gadwall, Pintail, Redheads and a light mix of Teal and other species have been dominating the straps. Water levels have pulled back enough to give us some breathing and comfort room but remain higher than we'd like.
Pre front action over mud and grass pockets once again bent the rods hard for guests as Capt. Donnie Heath lit them up using bait lit up the Redfish to 26". I sent out a newsletter the other day telling clients to throw the "seasonal playbook" out the window and that's a great idea. The big cold front has moved a little bit of water out of the bays but we're waiting to "get all excited"
Beyond that we are moving into second gear on construction efforts with the new lodging and additional land acquisitions. Temperature at the lodge is "smoking hot" and we are very blessed business wise. Thank you all SO MUCH!

We've got to get lucky every now and then and the front arrival couldn't have been timed more perfectly. Just add a little cooperation from the birds and everything will be good. The guests had a nice hunt yesterday afternoon taking full Redhead limits on a "Diver shoot".
The ducks and blistering hot fishing pace made up for it, however. We managed a run unseen during the first split with limits coming in for our guests on all hunts.
From hot Redfish action to mixed Trout and Redfish working mud/grass, having multiple hot spots and "choices" is a good thing and we took full advantage. Go to on Trout and mixed Redfish was utilizing scant supplies of live shrimp under popping cork; Redfish have been best on shrimp and cutters over mud pockets and heavier grass venues day to day.
The Alexander's made it in on schedule with no problems from AZ for their visit dating back every year for over two decades. We welcomed some new and returning faces as well with eager youngsters and wives in for a first go round with duck hunting. All in all, I just had to step back and admire our Band of Brothers (our team of Guides) and the wonderful spirit of our visitors.
