Sight Casting South Texas Redfish - What a Blast!

We flew over to Harlingen Texas to meet with Joe Martinez, the owner of “Hook line & Sinker”. The visit was to properly introduce ourselves, checkout the retail location and do a little fishing. Joe has a great store with a loyal following. I am a big fan of mom and pop type shops because of the experience that you have when frequenting the locations. I was not disappointed to see that Joe was eager to help his customers and properly greeted each individual that came through the door, that alone is very rare in today’s big box retail stores. After a little chit chat, we toured the store to see that Joe really makes a great effort to bring in merchandise that is super effective and proven. You’ve probably heard that many lures look the way they do to catch the eye of fisherman and are not necessarily designed to catch a heap of fish. I can personally say that Joe does just the opposite, by doing market research and testing in his waters, he finds what works period! After our visit, we settled in at the hotel, and prepared for our sight casting trip that was planned for the next morning, we met up with Andy who has been fishing the Arroyo lagoon for the past two years, he explained that we would be sight fishing for redfish in eight inches of water.
In Tampa, we rarely fish that shallow but I was super excited to see their methods of catching, so I could compare. The morning was beautiful with light winds and mirror like water; you could hardly see where the expanse began and ended. We quickly approached the shallow flat where we could see redfish in large schools, what is unique about the way they fish for Redfish in Texas is that there is no subtle approach. You literally run up right next to the school and cast into them, the redfish eat as they flee, once you boat the fish, you just repeat the process. We quickly caught on and landed no less than fifteen redfish between the three of us. We also caught trout. If you are in the Arroyo Texas area, please give Andy a call, he is going to start chartering in the very near future and will surely be able to put you on the fish.
