The 3rd Coast Sightcast Experience

At 3rd Coast Sightcast, we specialize in providing an unparalleled fly fishing experience for redfish and Jack Crevalle, but never pass on opportunities to hook and land black drum, speckled trout, flounder, gar and even the occasional tarpon in some of Texas’s most pristine and remote waters. Targeting predatory fish in these clear backcountry waters offers a unique and rewarding challenge. Capt. Justin’s guiding style focuses on ultra-shallow, gin-clear, backcountry environments, where the thrill of sight fishing comes to life! Fish “crawling” with their backs out along a shoreline, schools of 50-100 fish tailing in the grass while rooting for crabs and blowing up shrimp on the edges of the marsh, are all year round, daily, occurrences here on the Texas middle coast! Fishing with Capt. Justin and 3rd Coast Sightcast is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the beauty and allure of the still wild marshes and back lakes of Matagorda Island and the Guadalupe river delta. Experience the thrill of fly fishing in environments where your skills are put to the test and the rewards are unmatched!

About your captain- Justin Dudley

I love to fish, but above all I am a Husband, Father and loyal friend. Having grown up in a rural Ag town in Central Texas, a passion for the outdoors consumed my mind at a young age and still does to this day! My journey into guiding began in my early teens as a field guide and dog handler for an upland bird hunting outfitter based in the Texas Hill Country. This early experience sparked a lifelong dedication to outdoor adventures and exceptional customer service. After college, I took on a role managing a vast whitetail property in the greater Lockhart, TX area. Living full-time on the property, I cared for a large whitetail herd and oversaw thousands of acres. My role also involved guiding whitetail hunts during an extended MLD season, honing my skills in both wildlife management and personalized client service. Today, I’m proud to share my expertise as a fly fishing guide on the Texas middle coast, based out of Seadrift/Port O’Connor. My approach to fly fishing combines years of guiding experience with a deep understanding of the unique backcountry environments I navigate. Whether you’re looking to chase redfish in remote and shallow back lakes, Jacks in the surf, or gar from the Guadalupe River delta marsh, I’m here to provide an unforgettable experience tailored to your personal fishing goals!
