#33 for the day (sorry the other hand was occupied) for return Guest Angler Omar

As your Texas Saltwater Fly Fishing Guide, I would advise you to go ahead and book that March fly fishing trip. Regardless of the weather, enduring the elements is part of the excitement of the game. And last year, March was a very good month for Fishing Spring Break. Putting yourself out there in the salt is the best way to learn to succeed on the fly.

Book an Appointment

Now that March is underway, I am confident to say that our weather pattern will be shifting dramatically any day now. It should become warm and sunny for most of the month of March. Fingers crossed! There is no telling when the winds will pickup and start honking. But if the weather in March last year is any indication, you should book a trip online right freaking now for this weekend, next week, and the following weeks of March!

Omar crushed them

Fishing Spring Break can be great with loads of fish on the flats. If I were to try to guess our weather patterns for the forth-coming year, I would apply last years weather to this year as the pattern so far now that March has begun is very similar.

January 2021 saw some exceptionally great weather and the fishing was excellent. Returning Guest Omar was one who got to enjoy a day of quantity in January where every cast in any place produced a redfish on the fly. There was just so many fish to work with that it was more difficult to try to be selective. Mr. Omar keeps a personal catch log of his saltwater exploits, and that fine day in January he broke quite a few personal records, in particular, landing 33 redfish in a single day even though the moon wasn’t in our favor. Despite the moon that day, the winds, tides, bait and redfish were definitely in our favor for catching.

Bill got him a good one! O’Yeah!

We caught the redfish tailing, cruising, floating and laid-up already this year. Looking at what February was like this year, it was very similar to last years weather pattern in February. Cold, cloudy, rainy and windy… That was the month of February in a nutshell. But March will be another great time to fly fish the Texas Coast!
