Wyld On the Fly

Captain Rick was on time and was waiting for us at the marina before sunlight early in the morning. He kindly greeted my buddy and I and we got on the boat without any delay. The boat is a new shallow water skiff and it was very clean and organized.We left the marina and traveled in the dark for about 20 minutes to the fishing spot. The boat can go in really shallow water and Captain Rick put us on a couple of good sized redfish along the shoreline. Unfortunately, with being a fly fishing novice, we couldn't land one but I was so excited to see redfish tails. Captain Rick uses a pole and pushes the boat silently along the shoreline as you look for fish. We loved the calm water at sunrise and this style of fishing charter. We saw black drum, sheepshead, and stingrays darting near the boat. Once we spotted some redfish we tried with the fly rods and got out and did some wade fishing. Fly fishing is truly for the sport fisherman and this adventure was more about being with a friend, having a nice time, and enjoying the peaceful waters of the Laguna Madre than hauling in fish. We only were able to land 1 redfish in 5 hours but we had many opportunities and Captain Rick put us on the fish and gave us tips to improve our fly fishing skills. We had a great day of fishing and a lot of fun and we would definitely recommend Wyld On The Fly to anyone wanting a gracious fishing host and a memorable fly fishing experience.
