Nueces Angling Co.

Half-day trips start at 9am, ensuring you're back at the dock in time to unwind. 5 hours of shallow water fly fishing and sight casting from a poling skiff in the heart of the Texas coast. Redfish take center stage, but we may have shots at drum, trout, flounder, and sheepshead, seizing every opportunity that presents itself. Full-day trips depart early and return late, dedicating 8-10 hours on the water depending on conditions. Lunch can be provided for an additional $15 per angler. Bring whatever snacks and drinks you'd like, I'll provide the water and ice. You should bring appropriate clothing for the conditions, and have a packable rain jacket. I'll call a few days before to discuss weather conditions so we know what to expect the day of the charter. We will be poling and fishing with fly tackle, I've got everything you need but feel free to bring your own rods if you'd like! One angler fishes at a time, otherwise it's like sword fighting in a phone booth. My goal is to end the day with all of my clients having a better understanding of fly fishing and the Texas coast. I can tailor the day to angler ability, all skill levels are welcome! What to bring: - Valid Texas saltwater or all-water fishing license - Polarized glasses with bronze or copper lenses (I like Smith ChromaPop lenses) - Non Marking shoes - Wading booties if you prefer to wade - Reusable water bottle - Lunch or snacks for yourself (Sack lunch can be provided for $15/angler) Fly Tackle Recommendations: - Flats fishing: 7-9wt fly rods with weight forward floating line (Scientific Anglers Redfish or Grand Slam are my favorites) - Jacks/Beachfront fishing: 10-12wt fly rods with weight forward floating (intermediate line is sometimes called for when fishing the beach or jetties) - Flies: I will provide all flies we need for the day. If you wish to tie or buy your own, contact me and I'll recommend an assortment of my favorites depending on water conditions and time of year.
