I did my Bolivar tour special today with Lonnie (retired First Responder) from Louisiana. Him and his wife were vacationing in Bolivar for a week. The tour consists of first doing a driving tour of Bolivar which goes from Rollover all the way to the Ferry landing. After the tour we typically launch at Stingarees unless there's a certain place they want to launch from. Tide was super super high today and incoming. We fished grassy areas and cuts in the marsh. Started off with a couple of undersized trout under a Lil Woodie cork. We were seeing tailing drum occasionally. Mostly big breeder drum. Lonnie missed a couple that disappeared. We spotted a big one where the tide was causing eddys. I made a cast to it and it took off like a freight train. Kept pulling me towards the back of the marsh for about 50 yards. Not too long after a drum tail popped up next to me. I made a cast and waited for it to turn around. When it did my cork went under then this big ugly had my kayak going in circles. Both big drum were caught on an Old 18 Kinetic medium light rod. No problem bringing those beasts in with it! Towards the end of the trip Lonnie hooked a nice flounder but it shook off right at the kayak. When we got back to the launch the tide had risen so much we almost floated the kayaks to the truck! 😳

That time again. Which of my followers are military veterans or first responders? Looking at doing a free trip for the month of June 2026 for one veteran and one first responder. I can provide the kayaks and rod and reel. I'm hoping we can make it happen! 🇺🇲.

Took Casey (Army Veteran) and Jon (Killeen Firefighter) out fishing this morning. They were my May winners for the free trip for a First Responder and Veteran. We left and headed for the spot where I found reds the day before. Nothing there. We made our way down the shoreline looking for signs of reds. We went into a back lake to see if there were any reds in there. We spooked a few but no takers. We moved out of the marsh and fished another section of shoreline. Found some reds but all fell short. Jon caught an 18 inch sheepshead. Casey lost a keeper flounder at the kayak. Total we caught 6 reds, 2 sheepshead, and several croaker. We only had one keeper and that was Jon's sheepshhead. These guys were great! Thank you both for your service!!! 🇺🇲

Plan B was the way to go today. This morning I had a trip with Kent (Army Veteran) and Eric. Original plan was to fish some structure that was close to our launch. Current was a bit too strong to safely navigate to it so I went with plan B. We headed to the marsh. The marsh was quite the run but I figured we could fish reefs on the way. Caught a few fish on the way but no keepers. Before we got to the entrance of the marsh I noticed nervous bait. I made a cast and almost immediately my Lil Woodie cork went down. It was a 19 inch red. Kent made a cast right after me and he hooked into a 21 inch red. A little bit farther down I picked up a 21 and 24 inch red. We got to a grass point where there was a color line and fished it. Eric got broken off by a good fish. Kent and I both lost good fish then Eric ended up hooking a 21 inch red. The bite slowed down after that and we started our way back. Ended the day with 4 keeper reds (21 to 24 inch). Thanks for booking with me guys. We worked for those fish today! Thank you for your service Kent!!! 🇺🇲

This morning I fished with Mark (Navy Veteran). Today was one of those days when everything seems to be going wrong but ends up being right! We left right at dark. My motor decided not to work this morning but I decided to go without it. Mark picked up a keeper trout within the first 10 minutes. I picked up a keeper trout about 5 minutes after that. Rain was all around us but we managed to stay mostly dry. We fished the edges of a reef and I picked up a 28 inch drag pulling red. Mark picked up another keeper trout and 2 more drum. I picked up 2 more keeper drum. We hit one last spot. Current was ripping through there. I was using my stake out pole to hold my position then it got caught in my rudder. 🙄 I was moving into position when my drive gave way. Broken mast. 🙄. On our way back I noticed one of my rudder cables that drops my rudder had busted 🙄. I told Mark, it's time for me to get off the water. Too many signs! We loaded up and went down the street to get more ice for the fish. A family was there trying to change out a tire. They said their jack had broken. I pulled mine out and helped them change out the tire. God always has a plan! 😊
