Salt Sessions Fishing & Surfing Adventures • 10-19 years of experience
An 8-hour trip is a full day focused on maximizing opportunity and learning. We typically launch at first light and fish a variety of environments depending on conditions, shallow flats, marsh drains, shorelines, and open back lakes. Sight casting to redfish is the primary focus when conditions allow, but we adjust strategy based on wind, tide, and water clarity to give you the best chance for success.
Throughout the day, I provide instruction tailored to your skill level. We’ll cover casting mechanics, fly selection, presentation angles, reading fish behavior, and boat positioning. Whether you’re new to saltwater fly fishing or an experienced angler refining your approach, the goal is to improve your confidence and effectiveness.
Texas redfish are powerful, aggressive, and uniquely suited to these shallow systems. My experience targeting them across different seasons and weather patterns allows us to make informed decisions and stay adaptable on the water.
All necessary gear is available upon request. The boat is stocked with ice and water for the day. Clients should bring food, sun protection, appropriate clothing, and a current Texas fishing license.
If you’re looking for a focused, professional day targeting redfish on fly in some of the most productive coastal water in the country, I’d be glad to have you aboard.
Exact meeting location will be discussed after booking.

Welcome! My name is KC Burns, born and raised in South Texas, I have been a licensed Captain and full time guide since 2016, With over two decades combined experience chasing fish and waves along saltwater coastlines, I’ve built my life around the tides and swells. My passion for the saltwater runs deep, from sight casting to redfish on the fly in quiet, glassy flats to gliding down clean, waist high peelers at sunrise, and the occasional hurricane swell chaos. Fishing and surfing have taught me so much about what it takes to survive in the salt and between the two, I stay connected to the fish and patterns.
As a USCG licensed captain, I specialize in technical saltwater fly and light tackle fishing, focusing on shallow water redfish where every cast feels like a hunt. When conditions line up, I also trade the skiff for a surfboard, offering private surf lessons tailored to all skill levels (NC East Coast Retreats Only).
I take pride in crafting experiences that are personal, relaxed, and rooted in respect for the coast. My goal is simple... to share the rhythm, challenge, and beauty of these waters in a way that leaves you feeling connected, confident, and stoked long after the day is done.
Hope you will join me for your next adventure.
