Aggressive redfish attacks prove this crab fly is a serious weapon on the flats. fishing report coverpicture

Padre Island - Kenedy, TX Inshore Report on 23rd Jul, 2026 - 2

Last week I was guiding and took Nico Crespo out, polled him around on my skiff. I called out a redfish at nine o'clock when he cast to it with a particular fly he had that he calls a strong arm crab! The cast was a little off and behind the fish, and the fish turned aggressively and attacked that crab fly and ate it. I was impressed! So today i went fly fishing. Nico had tied me some strong arm flies, I used one and I've proven them to be as effective as it was that day with him. I cast to three pods of tailing catfish, with about one redfish, for every seven to ten catfish, and pulled a redfish out each time. Then, on one of my casts, I saw an individual redfish coming at me and I cast about thirty feet, and I was about a foot and one half short of the fish as I was about to pick up the line and recast the fish attacked it like he pushed a Nos button on a high performance car and aggressively took that fly. I'm telling you that these flies work! To find out the price and the color combinations please feel free to call Nico at, 956-312-3890
