Just finished up an EPIC trip to Bayflats Lodge in Seadrift Texas for a little fishing. This was a trip that I took 18 of my customers on. We stayed in a FANTASTIC lodge and anyone looking for an amazing trip should hit me up and I can give you some info on the place we stayed.

I really wanted to take a lot more pictures, but found that the fishing was so unreal that it was hard to stop fishing long enough to take another picture. You just wanted to get things right back in and catching more fish! It really was that good. So there are only a few pictures, and I did not even take any of the lodge that we stayed in.

We caught Red Fish, Flounder, Speckled Sea Trout, Black Drum, Sheepshead, Sharks....and one guy even hooked an Alligator. (that got scary quick as it almost came in the boat) The largest Red that we caught was 39" and was thrown back. There is a slot on the Reds and you can only keep fish in the 21"-28" range. You have a tag that you can Keep ONE fish over 28" of the guides really appreciate it if you throw them back. We caught a BUNCH in the 30-35" range and they are FIGHTERS!!! Really fun trip overall!!!!

ON the way out from the lodge early morning.

Again, I wish I would have taken WAY WAY more pictures.....but just too busy having fun. If you want a fantastic buddies trip to an amazing place.......this is the place!!!!!!
 
Man, that's my backyard. Great trip, glad you enjoyed it.

Them big reds ain't that great of eating anyway, I'd taxidermy a big one 50 inches or over or one with an unusual spot configuration.
 
Your backyard? Pretty cool place. This lodge I was at was fantastic! I really like the area...but don't think it would be much fun in July and Aug...or in a Hurricane! :)

Those 25" fish are good eating though! Our group caught over 200 big reds...it was awesome!
 
I Mowed the Grass for probably the last time FLEH!

It'll be shoveling Snow now for a while!:D

Looks like alot of Fun!


 
My brother lives in Houston so we went to see him earlier this summer and fished out of Port O'connor, right down the bay from Seadrift. Hot, and muggy, perfect combo for some good beer drinking and fishing. Here is a red we caught.

Hunt Hard. Shoot Straight. Kill Clean. Apologize to No One.
