Time to let it drop! Summer Drum Beats is too hot to hold onto any longer! I truly hope you enjoy the video. This footage was shot last summer during some fantastic sight fishing the Texas Coast out of Port Aransas.

Now accepting bookings for Summer 2019 (and on)! June and July last year saw plenty of fishing that was absolutely incredible. Dates are already filling in! We worked loads of tailing fish for many consecutive days. And after chasing redfish all morning we spent the afternoon chasing big jack crevalle!

Jack #3 of 4 for the Day

Consistent weather during those 2 months would spoil anyone with excessive amounts of tailing pods of redfish kept satisfying, Then chasing down huge jacks in the bay during the heat of the day made it even better! May the Summer Drum Beats live on!

Special thanks to Cody for jumping on board last minute to film this spectacular day with me. Fishing together as a team made Summer Drum Beats happen on short notice. Special thanks to Luke for producing such a fine video. Hope you all like the new logos too!

Additional thanks to Beavertail Skiffs for building such a solid boat. It lets us get to the fish every day regardless of the weather. Kudos to Hatch Outdoors for building a fly reel that handles a lifetime of use and to Airflo for making sure our loops and hooksets are as tight as possible! All of these companies continue to maintain the highest levels of customer service and insist on making quality their primary goal in their products.

Here are some raw videos of some of the jacks we chased last year, cant wait to get ya’ll back on them!

Baby Bull Released!

The weather has been a little stiff since early September when we got more than our annual amount of rainfall in about a 2 week period. This flooded the salt flats tremendously bringing life and nourishment to the little crabs and shrimps and called the fish that werent breeding into the lakes and ponds to munch on these tasty marine critters. Because the higher water levels were a little later in the year, not a ton of fish moved up into the way back lakes but we found’em in the skinny succulents as well as on the main edges.

This week’s Nor’wester is what we all have been waiting for and it has the water levels dropping rapidly and bait is seriously on the move now! Forget the forecast because the redfish party is starting! You dont want to miss the fall run this year, I expect to see quite a few HEFTY fish in the coming weeks and months!!!

Endless Possibilities

Even in the hardest conditions this cold front dished out, we found tailing redfish and some even had their backs out of the water. Just yesterday we wade-fished and had more tailing and backing reds, and every fish ate the fly when presented well.

Fortunately for us, there is a ton of freshwater heading south towards the coast from the mainland of Texas and this should help keep our water levels manageable and prolong the fall run through November at least. I also expect December to produce many great days of sight casting. Let go of your misconceptions that you cant see redfish without the sun, there are many techniques to apply to the day in order to “find” the fish when light is low or when the winds are blowing! And believe me, Capt Kenjo knows, because he goes fishing any day there isn’t a hurricane!

Bending the Bender

There are plenty more fish to be caught and the bigger ones should be moving up to the edges again soon. Just the other day I spotted a huge pig as she came up on the surface to slurp a big ole crab down the hatch! Call direct if you have any questions!  – Capt Kenjo 361-500-2552
