Storm surge, Lots of rain run off. Muddy water. It must be time for a fly tournament.

Lots to cover this week. My 11 yr old son and I fished the Galveston Redfish Tournament in waters I hadn't ever been in. I also explored a new area in my scouting attempts for the Galveston Classic. My buddy Mark caught a state record Black Drum but didn't do all of the registration to claim it.

This week I recap a trip where we got shots at sheepshead, a big ugly, a bull red and a triple tail all in one morning. We'll also discuss the salinity maps and how I use it to select my fishing areas after lots of rainfall occurs.

It's action packed until you try to film things with a nice camera. This week we talk about getting skunked, fresh water run off and high tides.

We camped, fished, fought the wind, told campfire stories and had an overall blast.

This week we discuss how to decide where to stop and fish after not being on the water for a week or two. We also talk about the packing list for a multi-day skiff trip.

We made lemonade last week. Figuring out the grind one bite at a time.

Water is up, fish are scattered, Spring is slow getting started. Let's talk about how to approach this season.

This week I sat down with my buddy Wayne and we talked about all things redfish, from tournament drama to deep water tactics and his Diamond G Custom painted baits.

What can I say? It's been a tough week. LOL
