David Edens's Tip of the Week
My black toad is my go to fly for redfish in the grass. Try adding a keel to it. Works great that way. Check out the. Flies page on my site for tying instructions: https://flycastcharters.com/flies/

Captain David Edens5-Day Outlook as of 7/28/25
REALLY HOT. GET OFF THE WATER BY NOON. Try trout on top early in the morning, then look for reds in the long grass and over oysters. Tarpon are here.
Techniques & Tips as of 7/28/25
When fishing for trout around oyster bars, try a popper/dropper. Tie a lightly weighted clouser to the bend of the hook of the popper. The popper keeps the fly from hanging up on oysters, plus you may get a top water strike, particularly at sun up.
Current Conditions as of 7/28/25
Fish are showing up on the flats and some in the creeks. We still have a good number of fish from the spawn successes of the last 3 years.Local Species Available Year Round
