Hurricane Harvey unleashed Mother Nature’s fury on Rockport Texas in late August, 2017. It’s been difficult to look at the destruction and focus on my job, however; it’s 2026 now and I’m truly excited! We are approaching the eight year anniversary of hurricane Harvey and the recovery efforts have been remarkable in the sense that Rockport Texas is still alive and thriving. Not only are the people and town thriving; so are the fish. As a matter of fact, the fish never really took a break from the turmoil. FISHING HAS BEEN AMAZING! A storm such as Harvey flushes, cleans and removes decade’s worth of stagnant water. You could say that hurricane Harvey actually revitalized the bays. This invigorates my soul and keeps me grounded after times of turmoil. Over the next few months I will be hunting TROPHY FISH as it is, ‘that time of year’. Trophy speckled trout, redfish and black drum will consume my existence through 2026. In addition, many other species will make an appearance as the waters continue to warm. I’m truly blessed to have my profession, my job and my life. Maybe it’s time you invigorate your soul? Just give me a shout and we’ll go fish!
