"Above expectations with regards to hospitality and accommodations—first-class all the way! Capt. Stephen Boriskie put us on the fish from the first stop. He was completely professional from beginning to end—great experience to be had with him at the helm. Comfortable beds and immaculate facilities all around."
-Bay Flats Guest, Antonio B.
"The food, service, rooms, and lodge were all great, as usual. Our guide, Capt. Michael Martinez was the best! We had a first-time fisherman with us and Capt. Michael was patient, as he took the time to help teach and explain everything we did, everything we caught, how and why he rigged our lines like he did, and everything we saw."
-Bay Flats Guest, James D.
"Capt. 'Lil John Wyatt is awesome! He put three of the biggest novices you've ever seen on the fish. We limited out on specks before 8:00 am! "
-Bay Flats Guest, Brian G.

COASTAL DUCK HUNTING

AN UNPARALLELLED WATERFOWL EXPERIENCE

You’ll be hunting in a leading staging area along the western edge of the Gulf of Mexico, where waterfowl travel up and down the coast each winter. This stretch of coastline is home to incredible numbers of native ducks, as well as migrating Gadwall, Widgeon, Pintail, Canvasback, Redhead and Teal.

WORLD-CLASS FLY FISHING

SIGHT FISHING FOR REDFISH DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS

You’ll traverse the vast and extensive marshy backcountry of Matagorda Island while our guides push you silently along in a technical poling skiff, on the lookout for tailing redfish in clear shallow water.

BAY-TO-TABLE DINING

FRESH IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

Once you’ve spent the day landing a fish on the fly or hunting 13 species of birds, you’ll come back to chef-prepared bay shrimp, softshell crabs, oysters or your own catch of the day, grilled to perfection.

A WARM WELCOME
FROM THE CAPTAIN

For the last 25 years, my wife Deb and I have been hosting anglers and hunters on our coastal property in Seadrift, Texas. Nothing makes us happier than sharing this incredible ecosystem with our guests.

We grew the lodge from humble beginnings to a 20,000 square foot seaside paradise. Today, we can host up to 56 people for action-packed days on the water, creating memories that will stay with you for the long haul. We don’t know what you’ll love more, landing a redfish or limiting out on ducks. Afterwards, come back to the lodge, put your feet up by the fire, and share tales from the day over a delicious dinner fresh caught from the bay. 

We can’t wait to welcome you to the lodge.

 

Yours in service,

Capt. Chris Martin
