Fall means one thing on the Texas coast: big bull reds. In the Oct/Nov issue of TIDE Magazine, @dannowise breaks down why these bruisers show up along Texas beaches and passes each fall — and how anglers can get in on the action.
Check out his article, “Looking for Eight,” in the latest issue of TIDE (on your coffee table now)!

From jetties to surf, Texas offers more tarpon opportunities than most anglers realize—and late summer can be prime time to catch one.

In the July/August issue of TIDE, longtime Texas Gulf Coast writer, photographer and guide @dannowise breaks down where to find tarpon, how to target them and the tackle needed to land a Texas giant.

Most anglers have that one pair. The wading boots that have seen countless tides, miles of marsh and more fish than they can remember.

Show us your most loved (AKA most abused) wading boots for a chance to win a Visa giftcard to help put toward a new pair! Use #CCABoots and we’ll annouce the winner August 1.

Photo deadline July 31, 2026. Only real pics please.🤙

Together with The American Sportfishing Association, @ccacalifornia @theigfa and @wildoceansorg — CCA is supporting a new scientific initiative led by researchers at Stanford University to better understand and protect Pacific bluefin tuna, one of the most ecologically significant and recreationally important species in the Pacific Ocean.
The study, led by Dr. Barbara Block and Dr. Emilius Aalto of Stanford’s Hopkins Marine Station, will draw on more than two decades of electronic tagging data with over 100,000 days of tracking of 450 pacific bluefin tuna to model the effects of multi-year migrations on the population dynamics of Pacific bluefin tuna across the Pacific Ocean. In addition, otolith and microchemistry data will also be incorporated where available.

A healthy red snapper stock should mean more opportunity for anglers, not more frustration.

Yesterday’s court decision puts a pause on innovative state-led pilot programs that aimed to improve data collection, modernize management and expand reasonable access to South Atlantic red snapper. The result? Uncertainty for anglers, for-hire operators and coastal communities that were ready for the season to begin.

We remain committed to science-based fisheries management that balances conservation with access and supports the businesses and communities that depend on recreational fishing.
