The past couple weeks could have been taken out of any of my daily logs for the end of July and beginning of August over the past ten years.  Calmer mornings with scattered showers are allowing for beautiful sun-rises followed by hot action with speckled trout being the early morning favorite target.  Redfish are right on time again proving that a upper slot limit, nine-pound bruiser will scour warm shallow waters of the marsh or on the shell reefs feeding on crabs, mullet, croaker and who knows what else as they beef up for the approaching Autumn.

Change is in the air as we look forward to the expiration of last years fish and game licensing and gear up for back to school.  An unprecedented number of families are making a last minute push to get the kids down to the coast to make some memories on the water while opting out of large gatherings, settling for more intimate quiet time with loved ones.

Soon we will be discussing how and where to take doves in South Texas and how we can combine a fishing and hunting trip.  Almost time to dust on the decoys and look towards gearing back up for duck season.  It’s time to reclaim your right to fish and hunt and enjoy the great outdoors.  The fish are biting and the days are beginning to close earlier with the sun’s ultimate goal of dropping a bit more in the skies each day.

Don’t be one of those folks who let this time of the year pass you by missing out on some of the best salt water action of the year.  It’s still hot in the late morning and afternoons but to those who like to get it done, it’s happening right now on the middle Texas coast!
