The Couple Who Built Baffin Bay’s Premier Lodge
Meghan Brodnax never planned to run a 10,000-square-foot luxury lodge. “I was just trying to get out of my refinery job,” she says. But when her husband, Capt. Storm, kept hearing clients ask for more than just fishing — lodging, meals, the full experience — Meghan jumped in.She left her 9–5, launched La Pesca, and for three years, hosted guests in a patchwork of Airbnbs. “We realized we were paying out so much money,” she says. “That’s when we thought — let’s buy our own place.”

Many BirdDog clients are strong freshwater anglers looking to break into the salt—and we love helping with that leap. One of the biggest technical shifts? Mastering the strip set. It’s a critical skill for anyone targeting redfish, snook, or tarpon on our coastal trips. Here’s how to do it right.
If you're ready to chase something special on your next saltwater adventure, BirdDog can help get you there. From redfish on the Texas flats to hosted tarpon trips with seasoned captains, we connect anglers to the species—and stories—they’ll never forget. Here are three saltwater giants every fly angler should have on their bucket list.
At BirdDog, we live for crisp mornings on wild rivers and the quiet rhythm of a fly line unfurling. Whether you’re fishing a private lease in the Hill Country or booking a hosted BirdDog trip out West, freshwater fly fishing in rivers during the fall is one of the most rewarding outdoor pursuits. Cooler temperatures bring trout and bass into prime feeding patterns, and a little preparation ensures you’ll make the most of every cast.
At BirdDog, we help folks get on the water in unforgettable ways—whether that’s a coastal fly trip with a guide we know or an exclusive BirdDog property tucked near redfish-rich water. But even with the best setup, you still need the right gear to seal the deal. Here’s what we recommend for getting dialed in on the Texas coast.
Catch and release fishing is a popular practice among conservation-minded anglers who are committed to ensuring that fish populations remain healthy and sustainable. By releasing fish back into the water after they’ve been caught, anglers help maintain the balance of ecosystems and support the long-term viability of species. However, for catch and release fishing to be truly effective, it’s essential to handle the fish properly to ensure their survival.
